When I’m Without You

Song: When I’m Without You
Translation of: Moscas En La Casa (Spanish – Flies in the House)
Original Artist: Shakira

When I’m without you my days feel gloomy
They’re so long, and so gray
My days without you

When I’m without you my days seem foolish
Seem bitter, seem so hard
My days without you

When I’m without you nights will not fall
and if dusk appears
sleep will not arrive soon

When I’m without you I’ll waste my time
Hours lack a beginning, and lack an end too

No air left to breathe
Surroundings so bleak
Floors littered with remnants
Like thoughts split to fragments
Oh, when I’m without you

When I’m without you my skies are empty
No silvery moons and
no trace of the sun

My days without you are like an echo
which just keeps repeating
the same and old song

No air left to breathe
Surroundings so bleak
Floors littered with remnants
Like thoughts split to fragments
Oh, when I’m without you

I keep on believing and hoping
someday you will come back to my arms
I’m hunting for reasons: do elders still
feature the time they were young?
I need explanations which will make me believe
that I’m truly still alive
Living these years
Just drowning in tears
and missing you much

When I’m without you….
Oh, I’m without you…

Oh without you,
It still aches all the days I’m not with you

With you…
With you…

No (English Version)

Song: No
Translation of: No (Spanish – No)
Original Artist: Shakira

No, don’t bring me your excuses
Don’t stay and don’t persist
Apologies existed long before you did

And no, don’t start with your rhetoric
Just speak for yourself
Don’t forget I’ve known you since the age of twelve

I’ll ask you now never to return again
Don’t you know that you still hurt me deep inside?
In my heart
And I am sure that you’ve lived long enough
To know best how to break a person’s heart

No, no one can live without some affection
Your love was greater than the greatest hope
I’d ever known before
And I swear, I’m not lying

No, no one can live without some devotion
But I’ll never give my heart like that again
I choose life over love
Preferring silence to death

I hope you don’t want to find me waiting
Since you’ve left me all alone
My patience has turned dry long ago

And now, collecting daisy petals
I’m blinded by the tears
Instead of flowers my eyes see the better years

So I will ask you not to return again
Now you know that you still hurt me deep inside
In my heart
And now I’m sure that you’ve lived long enough
To know best how to break my heart

No, no one can live without some affection
Your love was greater than the greatest hope
I’d ever known before
And I swear, I’m not lying

No, no one can live without some devotion
I’ll never give my heart like that again
I choose life over love
Preferring silence to death
