Laundry Service (2001)
"Suerte"
Suerte que en el sur hayas nacido
y que burlemos las distancias
suerte que es haberte conocido
y por ti amar tierras extrańas
Yo puedo escalar los Andes solo
por ir a contar tus lunares
contigo celebro y sufro todo
mis alegrias y mis males
Le ro lo le lo le
le ro lo le lo le
Sabes que estoy a tus pies
Contigo, mi vida
quiero vivir la vida
y lo que me queda de vida
quiero vivir contigo
Contigo mi vida
quiero vivir la vida
y lo que me queda de vida
quiero vivir contigo
Suerte que es tener labios sinceros
para besarte con mas ganas
Suerte que mis pechos sean pequeńos
y nos los confundas con montańas
Suerte que herede las piernas firmes
para correr si un dia hace falta
Y estos dos ojos que me dicen
Que he de llorar cuando te vallas
"Te Aviso, Te Anuncio"
Nunca pense que doliera el amor asi
Cuando se entierra en el medio de un no y un si
Es un dia ella y otro dia yo
Me estas dejando sin corazon y cero de razon
Ay te aviso, te anuncio que hoy renuncio / a tus negocios sucios
Ya sabes que estoy de ti vacunada / a prueba de patadas
Por ti me quede como monalisa / sin llanto y sin sonrisa
Que el cielo y tu madre cuiden de ti...
Me voy / sera mejor asi
Se que olvidarte no es asunto sencillo
Te me clavaste en el cuerpo como un cuchillo
Pero todo lo que entra ha de salir
Y los que estn tendrn que partir
Empezando por mi
Ay te aviso, te anuncio que hoy renuncio / a tus negocios sucios
Ya sabes que estoy de ti vacunada / a prueba de patadas
Por ti me quede como monalisa / sin llanto y sin sonrisa
Que el cielo y tu madre cuiden de ti...
Me voy...
Talvez tu no eres ese para mi
No se como se puede enga? ar asi
Pero era asi
"Que Me Quedes Tu"
Que se arruinen los canales de noticias
Con lo mucho que odio la television
Que se vuelvan anticuadas las sonrisas
Y se extingan todas las puestas de sol
Que se supriman las doctrinas y deberes
Que se terminen las peliculas de accion
Que se destruyan en el mundo los placeres
Y que se escriba hoy una ultima cancion
Pero que me quedes tu
Y me quede tu abrazo
Y el beso que inventas cada dia
Y que me quede aqui
Despues del ocaso
Para siempre tu melancolia
Porque yoooo, yoo si, si
Que dependo de ti
Y si me quedas tu
Me queda la vida
Que desaparezcan todos los vecinos
Y se coman las sobras de mi inocencia
Que se vayan uno a uno los amigos
Y acribillen mi pedazo de conciencia
Que se consuman las palabras en los labios
Que contaminen todo el agua del planeta
O que renuncien los filantropos y sabios
Y que se muera hoy hasta el ultimo poeta
Pero que me quedes tu
Y me quede tu abrazo
Y el beso que inventas cada dia
Y que me quede aqui
Despues del ocaso
Para siempre tu melancolia
Porque yoooo, yoo si, si
Que dependo de ti
Y si me quedas tu
Me queda la vida..
"Rules"
You have to swear
Youve got love to love me
That will last forever
We must have a story
With a happy ending
? i swear to never go away?
And never put aside
The things Im gonna say
Cuz these are rules for us
Chorus:
Use your eyes only to look at me
Use your mouth only to kiss my lips
We are branches of the same old tree
You can laugh only if you laugh at me
You can cry only if you cry for me
Dont forget that youre condemned to me
Cant you see
You always were
Youll always be
You used to say
I should see a doctor
Who would keep me busy
Cuz a jealous woman
Never makes it easy
And you know Ill defrost
Whatever seems right
But it may take a while
Before I change the rules
"The One"
So I find a reason to shave my legs
Each single morning
So I count on someone on
Friday nights to take me dancing
And then to church on Sundays
To plant more dreams
And someday think of kids
Or maybe just to save a little money
[Chorus:]
You're the one I need
The way back home is always long
But if you're close to me I'm holding on
You're the one I need
My real life has just begun
Cause there's nothing like your smile made of sun
In the world full of strangers
You're the one I know
So I learned to cook
and finally lose my kitchen phobia
So I've got the arms to cuddle in
When there's a ghost or a muse
That brings insomnia
To buy more thongs
And write more happy songs
It always takes a little help from someone
"Ready For The Good Times"
I dont wanna clear the cobwebs from my head
Time will bring them back I bet
So if you hear me say that I believe in love
Dont make me feel ashamed
I used to sing the saddest songs
And while in the meantime roaches used to climb my door
Falling back down to the floor
I used to read survival guides
When my world was full of seven legged cats
But here iam with eight more lives
Im ready for the good times
Im ready for the good tims
Now that Im not olone
Oh oh oh oh (3x)
You know it
Oh oh oh (2x)
You better now ignore it.
I dont want to look at fashion magazines
While someone is doing my naiels
Sitting here watching other people live
Frozen by the fear to fail
Cause everyday theres a war to fight
And if I win or lose never mind
As long as youre my shelter every night
I used to cry against a wall
But now Ive got a shoulder that I can lean on
Swear to me you wont be gone
Im ready for the good times
Im ready for the good times
Ready to get it on
Im ready for the good times
Im ready for the good times
Now that Im not alone
"Fool"
Tell me lies
slap me on the face
just improvise
do something
really clever
that'll make me hate
your name forever
You might swear
you'd never
touch a lady
well, let me say
you're not too far
from maybe
every day you find
new ways to hurt me
But I can't help it
if I'm just a fool
always having my heart
set on you
'til the time
you start changing
the rules
I'll keep chasing
the soles
of your shoes
Fool
God resigned from
hearing my old story
every night I'm paying
hell for glory
I'm embarrassed but
I'm much more sorry
All this pain begins
to feel like pleasure
with more tears
you'd make a sea
a desert
salt my wounds
and i'll keep
saying thank you
But I can't help it
if I'm just a fool
always having my heart
set on you
'til the time
you start changing
the rules
I'll keep chasing
the soles
of your shoes
Fool
But I can't help it
if I'm just a fool
always having my heart
set on you
'til the time
you start changing
the rules
I'll keep chasing
the soles
of your shoes
Fool
I can't help it baby
fool
I can't help it baby
fool
I can't help it baby
fool
I can't help it baby
Fool
I'm a fool
I'm a fool
"Te Dejo Madrid"
uh... ah ah
si, ya es hora de esconder
del mundo el dolor
bajo la piel
yo se que estare bien
los gatos como yo
caen de pie
no quiero
jugar mi suerte por ti
y no puedo
Con V pequeńa vivir
pronto estare de aqui
muy muy lejos
[coro]
ahi me voy otra vez
ahi te dejo Madrid
Tus rutinas de piel
y tus ganas de huir
yo no quiero cobardes
que me hagan sufrir
mejor le digo adios
a tu boca de anis
si, ya es hora de limpiar
las manchas de miel
sobre el mantel
yo nunca supe actuar
mis labios se ven
muertos de sed
no quiero
dejarlo todo al azar
entiendo
que he comenzado a estorbar
pronto estare de ti
muy muy lejos
[coro]
ahi me voy otra vez
ahi te dejo Madrid
Tus rutinas de piel
y tus ganas de huir
yo no quiero cobardes
que me hagan sufrir
mejor le digo adios
a tu boca de anis
ah, aah
[coro x2]
ay te dejo madrid
madrid
a tu boca de anis
a tu boca de anis
"Poem To A Horse"
You're to far to bring you close
And too high to see below
just hangin' on your daily dose
I know you never needed anyone
But the rolling papers for your grass
How can you give what you don't have?
You keep on aiming for the top
And quit before you sweat a drop
Feed your empty brain with your hydroponic pot
You start out playing with yourself
You get more fun within your shell
Nice to meet you but I gotta go my way
[Chorus:]
I'll leave again
Cuz I've been waiting in vain
But you're so in love with yourself
If I say my heart is sore
Sounds like a cheap metaphor
So I won't repeat it no more
I'd rather eat my soup with a fork
Or drive a cab in New York
Cuz to talk to you is harder work
So what's the point of wasting all my words
If it's just the same or even worse
Than reading poems to a horse
You keep on aiming for the top
And quit before you sweat a drop
Feed your empty brain with your hydroponic pot
I bet you'll find someone like you
Cuz there's a foot for every shoe
I wish you luck but I've got other things to do
I'll leave again 'cause I've
Been waiting in vain
But you're so in love with yourself
If I say my heart is sore
Sounds like a cheap metaphor
So I won't repeat it no more
"Eyes Like Yours"
Oh, you know I have seen
A sky without sun
A man with no nation
Saints, captive in chains
A song with no name
For lack of imagination
Ya he...
And I have seen
Darker than ebony
Ya he Ya he Ya la he
And now it seems, that I
Without your eyes could never be
My one desire, all I aspire
Is in your eyes forever to live
Traveled all over the seven oceans
There is nothing that I wouldn't give
Came from Bahrein, got to Beirut
Looking for someone comparing to you
Tearing down windows and doors
And I could not find eyes like yours
Came from Bahrein, got to Beirut
Looking for someone comparing to you
Tearing down windows and doors
And I could not find eyes like yours
Oh, You know I seen
A woman of means
In rags and begging for pleasure
Crossed a river of salt
Just after I rode
A ship that's sunk in the desert
Ya he Ya he Ya la he
And I have seen
Darker than ebony
Ya he Ya he Ya la he
And now it seems, that I
Without your eyes could never be
My one desire, all I aspire
Is in your eyes forever to live
Traveled all over the seven oceans
There is nothing that I wouldn't give
Came from Bahrein, got to Beirut
Looking for someone comparing to you
Tearing down windows and doors
And I could not find eyes like yours
Came from Bahrein, got to Beirut
Looking for someone comparing to you
Tearing down windows and doors
And I could not find eyes like yours
rabboussamai fikarrajaii
fi ainaiha aralhayati
ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni
arjouka labbi labbi nidai
Came from Bahrein, got to Beirut
Looking for someone comparing to you
Tearing down windows and doors
And I could not find eyes like yours
"Whenever, Wherever"
Lucky you were born that far away so
We could both make fun of distance
Lucky that I love a foreign land for
The lucky fact of your existence
Baby I would climb the Andes solely
To count the freckles on your body
Never could imagine there were only
Ten Million ways to love somebody
Le ro lo le lo le, Le ro lo le lo le
Can't you see
I'm at your feet
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover, hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear
Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
To run for cover when I need it
And these two eyes that for no other
The day you leave will cry a river
Le ro le le lo le, Le ro le le lo le
At your feet
I'm at your feet
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover, hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear
Le ro le le lo le, Le ro le le lo le
Think out loud
Say it again
Le ro lo le lo le lo le
Tell me one more time
That you'll live
Lost in my eyes
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover, hereunder
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel
"Objection"
Its not her fault that shes so irresistable
But all the damage shes caused isnt fixable
Every twenty seconds you repeat her name
But when it comes to me you dont care
If Im alive or dead
So objection, I dont wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and Im not your mother
But you dont even bother
Objection Im tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
Im falling apart in your hands again
No way Ive got to get away
Next to her cheap silicone I look minimal
Thats why in front of your eyes Im invisible
But you gotta know small things also count
You better put your feet on the ground
And see what its about
Objection I dont wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and Im not your mother
But you dont even bother
Objection the angles of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
Im falling apart in your hands again
No way
I wish there was a chance for you and me
I wish you couldnt find a place to be
Away from here
This is pathetic and sardonic
Its sadistic and psychotic
Tango is not for three
Was never meant to be
But you can try it
Rehearse it
Or train like a horse
But dont you count on me
Oh dont you count on me boy!
Objection, I dont wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and Im not your mother
But you dont even bother
Objection Im tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
Im falling apart in your hands again
No way Ive got to get away
