the same time. The capoed version is first:

The day you leave will cry a river

| And hopefully that someone is sandman. Anyways, I haven't heard much from Shakira other than this song, but either way I still think she is very sexy. Judging from the lyrics, I think that Shakira is talking about a man who loves her for more than just her body, and how much she appreciates that. | |

| Alright kiddies....enough bickering... Let's get one thing straight here...Shakira has a very nice..er...ears. However, there is something that separates her completely from the rest of the teeny boppers. She actually writes her own songs. She is a latin sensation, she sings in more than one language, and she has an amazing voice too. Okay, so thats more than one thing, but the important thing is that she has the talent and ability to write as well as sing. Whether she uses her videos to help promote her music is insignificant as her music speaks for itself. | |

| Ok, enough. This site is called songmeanings.net, not bickering-r-us.com. We are supposed to be talking about a Shakira song here, not about our personal lives, so either start acting like civilized human beings, or just don't add a comment, simple as that. | |

| I like Shakira's older, spanish stuff. This song has a less interesting tune to it. Ojos Asis has this funky original, arabian sound to it and No creo was good too. She's really great live. But I've never heard her english music except for this song. I like it, but I'm dissappointed. Its not what I expected for one of her first big English releases. | |
