I know you won't come back,
everything that was;
Time has left it behind.
I know that you won't return.
What happened between us
will never be repeated.
A thousand years will never reach me
to fade you away and forget.
And now I'm here,
Trying to turn valleys into cities
Mixing the Sky and the Sea.
I know I let you escape,
I know I lost you.
Nothing can be the same;
A millenium can reach
so you can fade away.

Chorus:
I'm here, loving you,
suffocating,
in photographs and scrapbooks,
in objects and momentos.
I can't comprehend,
I'm driving myself mad.
Changing a foot for
my own face;
This night for a day.
And there's nothing I can do about it.

The letters I wrote,
I never sent.
You didn't want to know of me.
I can't understand
how foolish I was;
It's all the matter of time and faith.
A millenium with another thousand years...
are enough to love

(RepeatCorus)

If you still think something of me...
You know I'm still waiting for you...
(Repeat Chorus)

To love you I need a reason
and it's hard to believe that it doesn't exist;
One more so  that this love can waste
itself in this heart.
To think of what they say...
that the years are wise.
Pain is still felt...
because all the time I spent near  you;
left its thread, woven in me.
And I learned to take from Time...
those seconds that you let me see the sky to
it's profound depths. Next to you...
I think I gained a few pounds with so many
sweet kisses given. You developed my...
sense of smell and because of you
I learned to like cats.
You freed my feet from the pavement, so..
the both of us could fly away free for a moment.
But you forgot one last detail...because I have
yet to learn how to live without your love.
I learned the significance of a rose.
You taught me how to tell tall tales...
so I could see you at hours that weren't so
appropriate and to replace words with a gaze.
And it was because of you that I wrote...
more than one hundred songs.
I even forgave your mistakes and
I discovered a thousand ways to kiss.
And because of you, I know....
... what it is to love...
...what it is to love....

Un Poco De Amor
A Bit of Love
letra/lyrics: Shakira Mebarak

Currently Unavailable

To waste my life...
devouring every one of your thoughts...
every step. .....Your freckles to fade
and every kiss and every embrace
to be drawn in their place.
And now that you are here
I'm happy once again.
I could understand what you were for me
let me love you, to the point
that you whither with my sadness...
Let every sky turn cloudy and let
it rain until it puddles.
Let me kiss you, to the point that you're without breath
and let me embrace you with such a force
that I crush your bones.
And now you're here
I'm happy once again
I could understand what you were to me.

Chorus:
I want to stretch out,
chase you, mock you,
I want to love you night and day,
I want to waste my life.
I want to tie you to my
sixty of waist (? )
Take you like a tattoo
I want to lose my sheepish ways... (?)

Te Necesito
I Need You
letra/lyrics: Shakira Mebarak

It's the rain of everyday
that has augemented it's level
And music doesn't have the same
effect that it once had.
Maybe I've lived too much
in too little and too short a time...
I don't even know what language I speak...
nor which candles I carry within
this burial.
I feel that I do longer have the strengths
to leap and reach the sun...
and the harder I try...
I can't even hear my own voice.
I don't know if I've lived then thousand days...
or a day ten thousand times.
And I add you to my story...
wanting to change all losses
for gains.

Chorus:
I need you, I need you my love...
Wherever you are...
I lack your warmth.
I need you, I need you my love..
because you'er a part of me
I need you here...
because I don't know how to live without you....
I have yet to learn....

And I find myself lost,
Like a needle in a haystack.
Like shifting sands...
I submerge myself....
in my lonliness.
I don't know if I've lived
Ten thousand days
Or one day ten thousand times.
And I add you to my story...
wanting to change the losses
to gains
(Repeat Chorus)

Vuelve
Come Back
letra/lyrics: Shakira Mebarak

Cold like a salt statue..
in a a crystal masuleum.
Dry to the bone in reason of weeping
And dead like Tiberius  in his prison
All in ruins like Parthenon,
alone like Columbus ended up.
Pallid like the Mona Lisa,
soured like a lemon,
wrinkled like an acordion.
Like the Spinx when it lost its nose...
Like ALexander the Great without
his sword and shield.
Like a poor Christian stuck in Roman Emperialism.
I look for  something I can answer
Because I'm tired of thinking.
How is it that the seconds pass...
and I survive this universal flood.
Without much effort...the explanation..
appears in an old drawer.
And in less than a single fraction...
It lives again and clad in green is
my heart.

Chorus:
Come back, come back
Come back, come back

That my life slides through a gutter
...that me feet have grown callouses from standing...
...that I don't know how to tell you
that I miss you.
And in these I have passed
more than a year

(Repeat Chorus)

That my lifeboat is
sinking in the muck.
That from anguish
I have bitten my own elbows.
That my world is empty and
boring,
That I die to have you
here with me.

Te Espero Sentada
I'll Wait for You, Sitting
letra/lyrics: Shakira Mebarak

I'll wait for you,sitting
on the corner liek always,
And a bit more dressed up than if
it were a Friday
without a date previously made.
But with the plain intuition of seeing you,
My eyes don't stop looking and looking
at the dark stone
of Ideas.
Looking for more hollows,
within this hollow .
Looking for a light
in the middle of this sky.
I tuck away my hands
because I'm cold.
and they feel odd
inside my pockets.
Over an hour and a half has passed,
and you still haven't shown,
My intinct has failed me...
It known not of loves,
but it's just that my instinct
doesn't know of......

Chorus:
Living live without you...
is something like dying,
is walking without looking where you're going,
is singing without hearing,
is speaking without breathing,
eating without digesting.
Because I discovered..
that you're the perfect form...
the perfect size...
just for me and it's like this....

(Repeat Chorus)

Piez Descalzos, Suenos Blancos
Bare Feet, White Dreams
letra/lyrics: Shakira Mebarak

You bit the apple
and rejected Paradise,
condemed a serpent...
When is was you that made it that way
for milleniums and milleniums.
You remained nude
and you came across dinosaurs
under a roof and without shield.
And now you're here...
wanting to be happy...
When you're destiny meant squat to you...

Chorus:
You belonged to an ancient race
of bare feet and white dreams.
Dust to dust...you are dust
thinking iron alwys softens to heat.

You constructed an exact world
of perfect endings.
Every little thing calculated..
in its space and time...
I, being a complete chaos..
the entries and exits
the names and sizes...
don't fit in my brains
and now you're here
wanting to be happy
When  you destiny meant squat to you.
(Repeat Chorus)

Greet the neighbor,
Sleep an hour,
Work everyday...
to live in Life...
Answering only that
and feeling only this
And may God spare us of bad thoughts,
fullfill our duties,
attend college.
What would the family say
if you were a failure?
Always wear shoes,
keep it down at the dinner table,
wear hosiery to evening events
and a tie to parties.
Women always marry before 30.
If not they clothe saints.
even if you didn't want it like that.
And to a quincenera...
it's best not to forget
a fine champagne...
and to waltz your best
waltz your best

Pienso en Ti
I think Of You
letra/lyrics: Shakira Mebarak

Everyday, I think of you.
I think a bit more of you
I take apart my heart...
Something in me is destroyed...
Everyday I think of you.
I think a bit more of you...
Everytime that the sun comes out
I look for a bit of valor
to continue.
And I see you, I didn't touch you that way.
I pray for you every night...
It dawns and I think of you.
And it rumbles in my ears
the tick-tock of the clocks
and I keep thinking of you
and I keep thinking.....

Donde Estas Corazon
Where Are You Love?
letra/lyrics: Shakira Mebarak

Where are you Love?
Yesterday I looked for you...
on the floor, and in the sky, Dearest...
and I didn't find you.
I can't think that you're hiding from me
Because my silence is sincere...
It says 'yes'
Where are you Love?
Come, return for me...
that my life knots like an eight...
if you're not here..
I want to think...
that you won't falter...
because on this planet, no one else exists that I could love.

Chorus:
Where are you Love?
I looked for you yesterday
WHere are you Love?
And I didn't find you

Where are you Love?
You left here..
Looking for who-knows what...
so far from me...
and I can think....
and continue to think...
that you won't falter
because on this planet..
no one else exists...
that I could possibly love.
(Repeat Chorus)
 

I looked for you
in the wardrobe
In the phone book
under the car
in black and in white
in History books
in magazines
and on the radio.
I searched for you in the streets
You're Mother's
A bootmaker's stand(?)
In my change purse
In two thousand religions
I've even looked for you in my songs

Se Quiere se Mata
It's Wanted, It's Killed
letra/lyrics: Shakira Mebarak

Braulio has large eyes and dark hair,
he never overeats and has never selpt nude
he always dresses in grey, no remedy for it.
The tendecy of looking for oneself is always at an intermediate point.
Dana is a good girl, that's what her parents say
She never arrives at home before ten...nor too late,
Braulioand Dana care for each other...liek any normal couple..
But they hurried nature's course.
And from their own instincts...
they didn't escape with luck...
..with the fire within
and hormones present...
By the law of megnetism
they joined bodies.

Chorus:
But if around tea time nothing happens,
oh oh oh
You'll only go far from home
oh oh oh
For having brought another inhabitant
to join this rotted city
where something isn't wanted, it's killed....it's killed

That day you arrived a bit later than ten
But the scare didn't coem 'til a few days later
when those terrible suspicions were confirmed
a child would be born and you already knew the date
And before the neighbor or the parents were to find out....
You went to the doctor to do away with the problem.
Today your neighbor is at home taking a shower
And you...two meters undeground watching worms grow
(Repeat Chorus)
