Alejandro Sanz
"The Torture (la Tortura)"

Alejandro Sanz:
Hey baby girl
Save your poetry
Keep your poems and cheer to yourself

Shakira:
I’m not asking that everyday be sunny
I’m not asking that there to be a party every Friday
Nor do I ask you come back begging forgiveness
If you’re crying with dry eyes
Speaking about her
Oh my love, it hurts so much
It hurts so much
That you left without saying a word
Oh my love, losing you was torture

Alejandro Sanz:
I know I haven’t been a saint
But I can make it up to you

Shakira:
Man doesn’t live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses

Alejandro Sanz:
We only learn from mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours

Shakira:
Better save that for yourself
Take that bone to some other dog
And lets say goodbye

Alejandro Sanz:
I can’t ask winter to spare a rose bush
I can’t ask an elm to bear pears
I can’t ask the eternal of a mere mortal
And go about casting thousands of pearls
Before swine

Alejandro Sanz:
Oh my love, it hurts so much
It hurts so much
That you no longer trust my promises
Oh my love, losing you has been torture
I know I haven’t been a saint
But I can make it up to you

Shakira:
Man doesn’t live on bread lone
Nor do I live on excuses

Alejandro Sanz:
We only learn from mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours

Shakira:
Better save that for yourself
Take that bone to some other dog
And lets say goodbye

Alejandro Sanz:
Listen, baby, don’t you go
Listen, baby, don’t get angry
From Monday to Friday you have my love
Give Saturday to me and you’ll be better off
Listen baby, don’t punish me anymore
Without you, out there I have no peace
I’m just a repentant man,
I’m the bird that returns to its nest
I know I haven’t been a saint
And I’m not made of stone

Shakira:
Man doesn’t live on bread lone
Nor do I live on excuses

Alejandro Sanz:
We only learn from mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours

Shakira:
Oh after all I’ve done for you
It was such torture to lose you
It hurts me so that it’s like this
Keep on crying sorry
I…
I’m not going to cry over you
