Current mood: shot down. rock !
Music: shakira - antologia
i just started listening to the Pies Descalzos cd that i burned; Shakira's first cd. it is so excellent. and one of the songs has the best lyrics in the world, much better than anything i could ever write, so i am posting them in spanish, then i will attempt to translate and rhyme it so you can get the same effect. or you could run it though an online translator. the the housewife. love susan. bye. *

Para amarte necesito una razón, y es difícil creer que no exista una más que este amor.
Sobra tanto dentro de este corazón que a pesar de que dicen que los años son sabios todavia se siente el dolor.
Porque todo el tiempo que pasé junto a ti dejo tejido su hilo dentro de mi.
Y aprendí a quitarle al tiempo los segundos.
Tú me hiciste ver el cielo aún más profundo.
Junto a ti creo que aumenté más de 3 kilos con tus tantos dulces besos repartidos.
Dessarollaste mi sentido del olfato y fué por ti que
aprendí a querer los gatos.
Despegaste del cemento mis zapatos para escapar los dos volando un rato.
Pero olvidaste una final instruccion porque aún no sé como vivir sin tu amor.
Y descubrí lo que significa una rosa.
Me enseñaste decir mentiras piadosas para poder verte a horas no adecuadas,
y a reemplazar palabras por miradas.
Y fué por ti que escribí más de 100 canciones, y hasta perdoné tus equivocaciones.
Y conocí más de mil formas de besar, y fué por ti que descubrí lo que es amor.

it is better in english without my stretching to rhyme and failing.

*~To love you I need a reason.
And it’s hard to believe that there’s no other one but this love.
There is so much left over in this heart that even though they say that the years make you wise, I still feel all this pain.
Because all the time I spent with you left your threads woven in me.
I learned to take the seconds out of hours.
You made me see the sky as more profound.
I gained at least 3 pounds with you around me, with your many charming kisses on my body.
You unraveled my intuition.
And it was for you that I learned to love cats.
You released my shoes from being stuck on tile, so we could escape and fly away for awhile.
But you forgot one last instruction.
Because I don’t know how to live without your love.
I discovered the real meaning of a rose.
You taught me to tell lies that are somewhat moral, so I could go see you at indecent times, and to replace words with glances and sighs.
It was for you that I wrote 100 songs and I even learned to forgive all your wrongs.
I learned more than 1000 ways to kiss, and for you I learned what love is.~*

like it, love it, want more of it. hahaha bye. *
