Eyes Like Yours (Ojos Asi)

Maybe you guys just don't have a sense of poetry, but the things she lists are mainly impossible. Crossing a river of salt? There's no such thing, so there's no possible way she did it--it's called an hyperbole or exaggeration. Same with a ship that sank in the desert, as well as seeing darker than ebony. The poetic devices she uses in this song are amazing, and for the majority of you to sit here and discredit it as 'horrible' is flat out insane.

I like the Spanish song, but her voice sounds uncontrolled, like she has no idea what tone is. If anything, it flows less because it sounds so rushed; I love it, but the English version just is more organized and mature sounding.

THIS SONG IS AWESOME, ILOVE IT IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH

Sorry, I am doing it again:

Oh, you know I have seen A sky without sun A man with no nation Saints captive in chains A song with no name For lack of imagination

Ya he, ya he, ya la he And I have seen Darker than ebony Ya he ya he ya la he And now it seems that I Without your eyes could never be

My one desire, all I aspire Is in your eyes forever to live Travelled all over the seven oceans There is nothing that I wouldn't give Came from Bahrein, got to Beirut Looking for someone comparing to you Tearing down windows and doors And I could not find eyes like yours

Rabboussamai fikarrajaii Fi ainaiha aralhayati Ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni Arjouka labbi labbi nidai

Came from Bahrein, got to Beirut Looking for someone comparing to you Tearing down windows and doors And I could not find eyes like yours

Oh, you know I have seen A woman of means and rags And begging for pleasure Crossed a river of salt The specter, I rode The ship that sank In the desert

Ya he, ya he, ya la he And I have seen Darker than ebony Ya he ya he ya la he And now it seems that I Without your eyes could never be

My one desire, all I aspire Is in your eyes forever to live Travelled all over the seven oceans There is nothing that I wouldn't give Came from Bahrein, got to Beirut Looking for someone comparing to you Tearing down windows and doors And I could not find eyes like yours

Rabboussamai fikarrajaii Fi ainaiha aralhayati Ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni Arjouka labbi labbi nidai

Came from Bahrein, got to Beirut Looking for someone comparing to you Tearing down windows and doors And I could not find eyes like yours

Rabboussamai fikarrajaii Fi ainaiha aralhayati Ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni Arjouka labbi labbi nidai

Looking for someone Comparing to you Tearing down Windows and doors And I could not Find eyes like yours

Rabboussamai fikarrajaii Fi ainaiha aralhayati Ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni Arjouka labbi labbi nidai

Min Bahrain ela Beirut

Looking for someone comparing to you Tearing down windows and doors And I could not find eyes like yours

My one desire, all I aspire Is in your eyes forever to live Travelled all over the seven oceans There is nothing that I wouldn't give Came from Bahrein, got to Beirut Looking for someone comparing to you Tearing down windows and doors And I could not find eyes like yours

Just thought i would give you guys the traslantion of the arabic lyrics.. for anyone who didnt know...

God of the sky, the granter in his eyes I see my life I come to you from this world please God grant my request..

sounds better in arabic...right!!!

wow... I feel some tension up in here... lol but anyway... yeah, don't try to over-analyze it... she's just saying that she's looked all over the world, and although she's seen some weird & rare things, nothing compares to the one she loves... or @ least his eyes... haha

just tryin to make it a bit easier for you..

Rabbou assama'i fika arraja'i Fi ainaiha aral-hayati Ati ilaika min hazal kaawni Arjouka labbi labbi nida'i

and it means as suha expalained, but i think she sez, in his eyes, i see life...

What is this english crap. This song was about 92 times better in spanish. but none the less, I will always be shakira's biggest fan.

I agree with nillad this song is amazing in Spanish. The english version sounds like a piece of schizznick. Really doesn't do the song any justice.

somebodys trying hard to to fit in...

lol, I sort of like the english version, I mean the spanish version is better, but I have no bad words for the english version
