[English]

Ladies up in here tonight

No fighting

We got the refugees up in here (no fighting)

No fighting

Shakira, Shakira

I never really knew that she could dance like this

She make a man want to speak spanish

¿Cómo se llama? (Sí), bonita (sí)

Mi casa, su casa (Shakira, Shakira)

Oh, baby, when you talk like that

You make a woman go mad

So be wise (sí) and keep on (sí)

Reading the signs of my body (uno, dos, tres, cuatro)

I'm on tonight, you know my hips don't lie

And I'm starting to feel it's right

All the attraction, the tension

Don't you see, baby? This is perfection

Hey, girl, I can see your body moving

And it's driving me crazy

And I didn't have the slightest idea

Until I saw you dancing

And when you walk up on the dance floor nobody cannot

Ignore the way you move your body, girl (your body just move)

And everything's so unexpected

The way you right and left it

So you can keep on shaking it (let's go!)

I never really knew that she could dance like this

She make a man want to speak spanish

¿Cómo se llama? (Sí), bonita (sí)

Mi casa, su casa (Shakira, Shakira)

Oh, baby, when you talk like that

You make a woman go mad

So be wise (sí) and keep on (sí)

Reading the signs of my body (no fighting, no fighting)

I'm on tonight, you know my hips don't lie

And I'm starting to feel you, boy

Come on, let's go, real slow

Don't you see, baby? Así es perfecto

Baby, I know I'm on tonight, my hips don't lie

And I'm starting to feel it's right

All the attraction, the tension

Don't you see, baby? This is perfection (Shakira, Shakira)

Oh, boy, I can see your body moving

Half animal, half man

I don't, don't really know what I'm doing

But you seem to have a plan

My will and self-restraint

Have come to fail now, fail now

See, I'm doing what I can, but I can't, so you know

That's a bit too hard to explain (uno, dos, tres, cuatro)

Baila en la calle de noche

Baila en la calle de día (let's go!)

Baila en la calle de noche

Baila en la calle de día

I never really knew that she could dance like this

She make a man want to speak spanish

¿Cómo se llama? (Sí), bonita (sí)

Mi casa, su casa (Shakira, Shakira)

Oh, baby, when you talk like that

You know you got me hypnotized

So be wise (sí) and keep on (sí)

Reading the signs of my body

Señorita, feel the conga

Let me see you move like you come from Colombia

Yeah, oh, yeah, ladies, sí! (Yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)

Mira, en Barranquilla se baila así, say it!

En Barranquilla se baila así

...

Yeah, she's so sexy, every man's fantasy

A refugee like me back with the Fugees from a Third World country

I go back like when Pac carried crates for Humpty Hump

We lead a whole club jazzy

Why the CIA wanna watch us?

Colombians and Haitians

I ain't guilty, it's a musical transaction

Boo-boop-so-boop, no more do we snatch ropes

Refugees run the seas 'cause we own our own boats (no fighting)

I'm on tonight, my hips don't lie

And I'm starting to feel you, boy

Come on, let's go, real slow

Baby, like this is perfecto (no fighting)

Oh, you know I'm on tonight, my hips don't lie

And I'm starting to feel it's right

The attraction, the tension

Baby, like this is perfection

No fighting (no fighting, no fighting)

No fighting

...
