Shakira – Te Dejo Madrid Lyrics 15 years ago
just in case someone drops by looking for a translation:

uh... ah ah
si, ya es hora de esconder
del mundo el dolor
bajo la piel
YEAH IT'S TIME TO HIDE PAIN
FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD
(HIDE IT) UNDER MY SKIN

yo se que estare bien
los gatos como yo
caen de pie
I KNOW I'LL BE OK
CAT LIKE MYSELF
LAND ON THEIR FEET


no quiero
jugar mi suerte por ti
y no puedo
con f?� peque?a vivir
pronto estare de aqu??
muy muy lejos
I DON'T WANT
TO TRY MY LUCK
WITH YOU (meaning i don't want to bet on this realtionship cause you're not commited)
AND I CAN'T LIVE
WITH A SMALL "l"
SOON I'LL REALLY REALLY
FAR FROM HERE


[coro]

ay me voy otra vez
ay te dejo Madrid
las rutinas de piel
y tus ganas de huir
OH I'M LEAVING OPNCE MORE
I'M LEAVING YOU MADRID
THE SKIN ROUTINES
AND YOUR NEED FOR ESCAPE
(this would mean she's leaving the guy cause he wouldn't adjust to the couples routine, to being with the same woman always and was always trying to get out of the realtionship)

yo no quiero cobardes
que me hagan sufrir
mejor le digo adios
a tu boca de anis
I DON'T WANT ANY COWARD
MAKING ME SUFFER
I BETTER SAY GOODBYE
TO YOUR "ANIS" MOUTH
(anis bieng a typical strong alcoholic drink in Spain)

si, ya es hora de limpiar
las manchas de miel
sobre el mantel
YEAH IT'S TIME TO CLEAN
THE HONEY STAINS
ON THE TABLECLOTH

yo nunca supe actuar
mis labios se ven
muertos de sed
I'VE NEVER KNOWN HOW TO PRETEND
MY LIPS ARE DYING WITH THIRST

no quiero
dejarlo todo al azar
entiendo
que he comenzado a estorbar
pronto estare de ti
muy muy lejos
I DON'T WANT TO
LEAVE EVERYTHING TO CHANCE
I UNDERSTAND I'VE STARTED TO
BE A PROBLEM
I'LL SOON BE REALLY REALLY
FAR FROM HERE


[coro]

AHI me voy otra vez
AHI te dejo Madrid
las rutinas de piel
y tus ganas de huir

yo no quiero cobardes
que me hagan sufrir
mejor le digo adi?Rs
a tu boca de anis

ah, aah
(arm?Rnica)

[coro x2]

ay te dejo madrid
madrid
a tu boca de anis
a tu boca de anis

Shakira – Gypsy Lyrics 15 years ago
mmm actually the line IS "crayons and dolls pass me by" if you connect it with the following part: "walking gets too boring when you learn how to fly" it makes perfect sense. Like a woman who learnt her way around sex at a very early age, like she grew up faster or lost her inocence at a very early age and so all childish games (crayons and dolls) meant nothing to her, she learnt how to "fly" which was much more interesting

the song always makes me think of how i feel after a party when i've drunk too much and i've kissed lots of strangers and behaved like people in the i gotta feeling video, then i wake up and feel guilty for some of the stuff; she says "can't confess all my sins, scars (anything that hurts me when remembering what i've done o who...) remind me just how far that i've come"

it sopunds like a woman leading a very dangerous way of life and also very passionate, so she's risked herself and got hurt along the way but accepts it and is also willing to take what she needs from others
