No Picture Marks Average	#2 by Marks at Jul 13, 1974 at 6:43 AM EST
	THIS SONG IS AWESOME, ILOVE IT IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH

No Picture Brett Professional	#3 by Brett Czap at Jul 16, 1979 at 9:44 PM EST
	Sorry... but I'm against the crowd here... the English is slightly better than the Spanish... but the Arabic's in both so... I dunno, maybe I just prefer English spoken songs... oh, well, dearies.

No Picture Curtis Rhythm Player	#4 by Curtis Lee at Mar 2, 1980 at 9:14 AM EST
	I love this song in both in English and Spanish. And I DON'T think the English version is "crap".

No Picture guitar girl Rhythm Player	#5 by guitar girl 13 at Feb 16, 1982 at 1:45 AM EST

No Picture kyle Average	#6 by kyle anderson at Jun 25, 1986 at 3:27 AM EST
	lol, I sort of like the english version, I mean the spanish version is better, but I have no bad words for the english version

No Picture John Rhythm Player	#7 by John McElyea at Dec 29, 1987 at 10:46 AM EST
	What is this english crap. This song was about 92 times better in spanish. but none the less, I will always be shakira's biggest fan.

No Picture Tyler Average	#8 by Tyler at Jan 23, 1989 at 5:20 AM EST
	I dunno about the first two, but I know ebony is a synonym for black. Crossed a river of salt could be the Dead Sea...but it's a sea not a river...so I dunno. I tried and failed miserably...sorry.

	somebodys trying hard to to fit in...

No Picture Matt Lead Player	#10 by Matt Miller at Aug 16, 1993 at 10:22 AM EST
	spanish version is infinitely better, it just flows, and it does sound a hell of a lot more natural

No Picture Perfect Pervers Rhythm Player	#11 by Perfect Perversion™ at Nov 16, 1993 at 11:51 AM EST
	spanish version is infinitely better, it just flows, and it does sound a hell of a lot more natural

No Picture Basstard Professional	#12 by Basstard at Jun 12, 1995 at 6:29 PM EST
	I like both versions, but the English version sounds a little "flat" to me. It's pretty clear that it's not her first language, and that the lyrics were made to fit the English language in this version. It sounds natural in Spanish, and much richer.

No Picture edwin Wanna Be	#13 by edwin henrriquez at Nov 28, 1998 at 4:54 PM EST
	you know what, when i first wrote my comment, i never even heard the song in english, but i liked the lyrics, now that i heard it, THIS SONG IN ENGLISH IS NOTHING BUT CRAP. and the spanish vrsion is a hundred times better that this, but its okay, everybody makes mistakes, im still shakiras number 1 and best fan

No Picture Tom Average	#14 by Tom Gregory at Dec 10, 1998 at 10:59 PM EST
	The English is good, but it does sound even better in Spanish. But until I learn the Spanish version (I think my husband has it), I'll keep singing in English. P.S. This song reminds me of my hubby. I love his brown eyes!

No Picture ben Lead Player	#15 by ben Tee at Jun 4, 1999 at 11:09 AM EST
	The only part to me that makes sense in this song is the chorus and the arabic part.

No Picture claireus Wanna Be	#16 by claireus s at Oct 18, 2001 at 5:35 PM EST
	I agree with nillad this song is amazing in Spanish. The english version sounds like a piece of schizznick. Really doesn't do the song any justice.

No Picture Chad Wanna Be	#17 by Chad Barri at May 26, 2004 at 3:08 AM EST
	Sorry, I am doing it again: 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, 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 Travelled 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 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 Oh, you know I have seen A woman of means and rags And begging for pleasure Crossed a river of salt The specter, I rode The ship that sank 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 Travelled 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 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 Rabboussamai fikarrajaii Fi ainaiha aralhayati Ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni Arjouka labbi labbi nidai 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 Min Bahrain ela Beirut Looking for someone comparing to you Tearing down windows and doors And I could not find eyes like yours My one desire, all I aspire Is in your eyes forever to live Travelled 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

No Picture Jon Lead Player	#18 by Jon Shuffler at Jun 28, 2004 at 1:38 AM EST
	i aint trying too hard too fit in. =) okay you caught me. alright. the truth about the song in my opinion. its, okay in english, but mostly the beat. face it, the lyrics really dont make any sense. it sounds like they just tryed too hard to rhyme everything. its not really "crap" but its not as good as spanish. so sorry if i offended anyone.

No Picture More Cowbell Lead Player	#19 by More Cowbell at Sep 25, 2004 at 7:45 AM EST
	She didn't write the English version. Don't blame her if you don't like it.

No Picture Justin Average	#20 by Justin Ruiz at May 25, 2005 at 2:02 PM EST
	i love this song alot, i know someone who has awesome eyes :)

No Picture jake Professional	#21 by jake burns at Oct 12, 2006 at 9:03 PM EST
	haha you sort of did ;) but the lyrics that dont make sense to me are like "Crossed a river of salt, The specter I rode a ship that sunk in the desert."?? and what is "darker than ebony"??

No Picture Hudson Lead Player	#22 by Hudson Ryan at Jan 26, 2007 at 9:59 AM EST
	Never heard the Spanish version, but I like the English version. Its got a nice 'forgien' feel to it, which I like in songs. This is one of my favourtie songs on the album, and I stand by that, so don't tell me that I'm blind or something because I'm going against you people.

No Picture john Wanna Be	#23 by john dolmayan at Feb 10, 2007 at 8:05 AM EST
	Thats okay!! you tried, believe me i also tried. i guess the only way to know is to ask Shakira herself!

No Picture Tyler Average	#24 by Tyler Hutchison at May 28, 2007 at 7:57 AM EST
	this has to be my favorite shakira song. i have been a huge fan for a long time, but this song remains my favorite (though i do enjoy estoy aqui). personally, i like both versions pretty much equally. I don't understand why you say the lyrics don't make sense though Tracy (not to rag on you or anything). She's just saying she has traveled to so many places and seen so many things, but she has never seen anyone who can match up to the person she is speaking to in the song. Some of the lyrics might not make perfect sense because it is translated though (did i just contradict myself...sigh).

No Picture Beaver Average	#25 by Beaver Butt at Jun 13, 2007 at 12:14 PM EST
	are you people deaf??? OMG the english verrsion is terrible. I love Shakira and I applaud her for making an effort. I blame the producer.. who the heck let her rocord this song and put it on the album? It needs to be reworked. It could be alot better. The english lyrics are ok, But the song was written in spanish and sounds alot more beautiful and much more poetic that way. Its the same idea but the english one is too literal. None the less I hope everyone listens to the spanish one before making an opinion about this one.
