the Torture

 

 

Ta

 

:lol: lol, its a torture trying to understand the track :rofl:

this is a risky release but a brave one, sony uk must be really confident if they are planning to release an all spanish track

 

 

There should be more European language songs released and promoted.

After all UK & US music is released worldwide - not just in English speaking countries and they sell.

I think it's just British snobbery.

 

Gasolina was a big hit as was Moi...Lolita by Alizee. Even Rammstein make the 30s and that without promotion.

 

Take dance music in the 90s. Who had the best - it was Germany's & Holland's & Italy's techno & trance, and over 95% of it was in English. Much of this didn't even get a UK release either and it cost me a fortune buying imports.

 

After all La Tortura was the world's biggest selling single of 2005.

 

Come on UK record companies and UK Radio wake up to yourselves. There's a whole world of great music out there yet they'd rather play rubbish like Westlife, McFly, Slagonce & 50 Cent.

David your a shameless plugger -_- :P

 

Anyway, talking of the single...

WHY are they releasing it? It's a very very VERY risky move, putting out a spanish song on the tv. It would of been safer if it was Spanglish version. But it's Shakira, and of course, it has a very sexy video so it's gonna get good airplay.

I still dont think it's a good idea to release it

I hope we get the original and it did well in the usa so why can't it do well here :P

Don't changed your user name too many times or else you end up stuck with it, you only get 5 chances to change your user name, and I believe that was your 5th :rofl:

 

omg really?! :o :rofl:

omg really?! :o :rofl:

 

Yes REALLY :lol:

 

I hope we get the original and it did well in the usa so why can't it do well here :P

 

The US has a really big latino market, hence a lot of spanish dominated parts of the country, and sections of big cities like NYC

I like the remix but it isnt as good as the original.. i use to think it was but i have decided that it's not :lol: just hope we don't get spanglish
This is a FAB song, better than dire HDL, really don't like that song! This deserves to get number 1 but I'd say lower top 10!
Im not too fussed on the shaketon mix either

I love the Shaketon mix! They should get both versions on TV :D

 

I hope Shakira comes and does some promo for this. I wish she'd get on some shows like Jonathan Ross, Sharon Osbourne...even the Charlotte Church show! She justs needs some high profile shows like that to get this noticed.

 

Here's the English lyrics:

 

Hey baby girl

Save your poetry

Keep your poems and cheer to yourself

 

I'm not asking that every day be sunny

I'm not asking that there be a party every Friday

Nor do I ask you to 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, it was a torture to lose you

 

I know I haven't been a saint

But I can make it up to you

Man doesn't live on bread alone

Nor do I live on excuses

We only learn from mistakes

And today I know my heart is yours

Better save that for yourself

Take that bone to some other dog

And let's say goodbye

 

I can't ask winter to spare a rose bush

I can't ask an elm tree to bear pears

I can't ask the eternal of a mere mortal

And go about casting thousands of pearls before swine

 

Oh my love, it hurts so much

It hurts so much

That you no longer trust my promises

Oh my love, it's a torture to lose you

 

I know I haven't been a saint

But I can make it up to you

Man doesn't live on bread alone

Nor do I live on excuses

We only learn from our mistakes

And today I know my heart is yours

Better save that for yourself

Take that bone to some other dog

And let's say goodbye

 

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

Man doesn't live on bread alone

Nor do I live on excuses

We only learn from our mistakes

And today I know my heart is yours

 

AD LIBS

Oh after all I've done for you

It was such a 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
