shakira lyrics & translation
Quiero / I Want
Pies Descalzos

Que me gaste yo la vida
devorando cada pensamiento tuyo, cada paso
Que se borren tus lunares y aparezcan en remplazo
Dibujados en tu cuerpo cada beso, cada abrazo.
Y ahora que estas aqui, yo de nuevo soy feliz
pude entender que eras para mi.

Déjame quererte tanto que te seques con mi llanto
que se nuble cada cielo y que llueva hasta hacer charcos.
Déjame besarte tanto hasta que quedes sin aliento
y abrazarte con tal fuerza que te parta hasta los huesos.
Y ahora que estas aquí, yo de nuevo soy feliz
pude entender que eres para mi.

Quiero excederme – perseguirte, pretenderte
Quiero amarte noche y dia
Quiero gastarme la vida.

Quiero amarrarte a mis sesenta [1] de cintura
llevarte como un tatuaje
Quiero perder la cordura.
What causes me to waste my life away
Devouring each thought of yours, every step
What erases your imperfections and causes to appear instead
all our kisses and embraces etched on your body
And now that you’re here, I’m happy again
I was able to understand that you were made for me

Let me love you so much that you dry out with my weeping
which clouds over every part of the sky and rains until puddles cover the ground
Let me kiss you so much that you’re out of breath
and hug you with such force that your bones are crushed
And now that you’re here, I’m happy again
I was able to understand that you are for me

I want to outdo myself – to follow you, claim you
I want to love you night and day
I want to waste away my life

I want to bring you to my 60 [1] waist,
wear you like a tattoo
I want to lose all rhyme or reason

[1] She means 60 centimeters, which is almost 24 inches--her 24-inch waist.
