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.
