Dia De Enero Lyrics
Shakira
Te conocí un día de enero,
con la luna en mi nariz
Y como ví que eras sincero
En tus ojos me perdí
Que torpe distracción
Y que dulce sensación
Y ahora que andamos por el mundo
Como Eneas y Benitin
Ya te encontre varios rasguños
Que te hicieron por ahí
Pero mi loco amor
Es tu mejor doctor
Voy a curarte el alma en duelo
Voy a dejarte como nuevo
Y todo va a pasar
Pronto verás el sol brillar
Tú más que nadie merecer ser feliz
Ya vas a ver como van sanando
Poco a poco tus heridas
Ya vas a ver como va
La misma vida a decantar la sal que sobra del mar
Y aunque hayas sido un extranjero
hasta en tu propio país
Si yo te digo ¿qué dices tu?
Tu aún dices ¿que decís?
Y lloras de emoción oyendo un bandoneón
Y aunque parezcas despistado con ese caminar pausado
Conozco la razón que hace doler tu corazón
Por eso quise hacerte esta canción
Ya vas a ver como van sanando
Poco a poco tus heridas
Ya vas a ver como va
La misma vida a decantar la sal que sobra del mar
JANUARY DAY
I met you one January day,
With the moon on my nose
And seeing you were sincere
in your eyes, i lost myself
What a clusmy distraction
And what a sweet sensation
And now that we're walking around the world
Like Eneas and Benetin
I've already noticed the many cuts
That they inflicted on you along the way
But my crazy love
Is your doctor
I'm going to cure your mourning soul
I'm going to leave you like new
And everything's going to pass
Soon, you will see the sun shine
You, more than anyone, deserve to be happy
Soon you will see
Your wounds healing little by little
Soon you will see how life itself
Will decant the excess salt from the sea
And although you've been a foreigner
even in your own country
If i ask 'how do you say' (Colombian Accent)
You still say 'what did you say' (Argentinean Accent)
And you cry with emotion listening to a bandoneón
And though you seem absent minded with that lazy walk
i know what causes your heart to ache
that's why i wanted to make you this song
You're going to see how little by little
Your wounds are going to heal
You're going to see how life itself
Will decant the excess salt from the sea
