xLuna&1LOVE · #2 4th July 2009, 12:58 PM

I did!
Spanish versions are always so great. But I like the english version better.

fuawas · #3 4th July 2009, 01:47 PM

i don't like it xD
her previous spanish works were way better imo.
Loba's lyrics are so strange and senseless...
dind't heard She Wolf.

If the English version has identical music then it's gonna be quite unique to everything else on the charts.
I really like it.

Sigilosa al pasar, sigilosa al pasar

I love it!

I'm interested in hearing how the English lyrics sound.

A translation of the lyrics for those who don't understand it!

Quote:

Loba by Shakira

Stealthy passing, stealthy passing
Look at her, walking walking

Who hasn't wanted a lycanthrope goddess,
in the heat of a romantic night.
My howls are the calls,
I want a domesticated wolf.

I finally found an infallible remedy
that erases the guilt.
I'm not going to stay by you watching TV and hearing apologies,
life gave me a voracious hunger,
and you hardly give me sweets.
I'm leaving with my legs and youth,
even if jealousy kills you.

A wolf in the wardrobe
wants to get out.
Let her eat the neighbourhood,
before you go to sleep.

I have magnetic needle heels,
to become the herd frenetic.
The fullmoon like a fruit,
doesn't give advices or hear them.

I have an special radar
to locate single men.
If I get into trouble,
I have the firemen's number.
No cute guys or divas,
no rich men, I know what I want,
have a good time and misbehave in some man's hands.

A wolf in the wardrobe
wants to get out.
Let her eat the neighbourhood,
before you go to sleep.

At one the wolf in heat salutes the moon.
She doubts whether walking or going into a bar to try fortune.
She sits down in her table and looks at her next catch.
Poor unawared who doesn't expect her.

Stealthy passing, stealthy passing
Look at her, walking walking.

Let her eat the neighbourhood,
before you go to sleep.

Don't know if it's perfect :S

Stealthy while passing by,
stealthy while passing by,
That She Wolf is special
Look at her, the way she walks, walks

Who hasn't wanted a lycanthropus goddess,
in the heat of a romantic night?
My howls are the call,
I want a domesticated wolf.

I finally found an infallible remedy
that erases the guilt.
I'm not going to stay next to you, watching TV and listening to apologies,
Life has given me me a voracious hunger,
and you hardly even give me sweets.
I'm leaving with my legs and youth,
even if jealousy kills you.

A She Wolf in the wardrobe
wants to get out.
Let her eat the neighbourhood,
before you go to sleep.

I have magnetic spike heels,
to make the wolf pack go crazy
The moon fills up like a fruit,*
doesn't give advices nor does it listen to them

I carry a special radar
for locating bachelors.
I also carry the fire department's hotline,
in case i get in trouble
Neither cute guys nor "divos" nor rich boys, i know what i want:
Have a good time and misbehave in the arms of some gentleman

A She Wolf in the wardrobe
wants to get out.
Let her eat the neighbourhood,
before you go to sleep.

When it's almost 1 o'clock am the She Wolf in heat salutes the moon
She doubts whether wander around the street or going into a bar to test her luck
She's already sat at her table and her sight is set on her next prey.
Poor unprepared guy who didn't see it coming

Stealthy while passing by,
stealthy while passing by,
That She Wolf is special
Look at her, the way she walks, walks

*NOTE: This line is ambiguous, because "La luna llena" can mean either "the full moon" or "the moon fills up".
I guess she did it on purpose and that's why she uses the word fruit.

These are the original lyrics btw: http://masguau.com/2009/06/25/letra-...-loba-shakira/

jbrat2219 · #15 4th July 2009, 07:31 PM

I heard it! I can't imagine it in English. It sounds so epic in Spanish O_O;

°~Kitty~° · #16 4th July 2009, 08:25 PM

I love it <3 its so different from her previous stuff, but still good

=)

Handjan · #17 4th July 2009, 09:11 PM

Thanks. It sounds great.
Does anybody know when PV will be aired?

***ImpactBreaker*** · #18 4th July 2009, 09:47 PM

The instruments are great, but the vocals are ugh...I hope the english version will sound better.

emi♡ · #19 4th July 2009, 09:55 PM

i hate Shakira in English.

So I doubt I'd like it better...I like the song...I don't like the verses.

And yeah her vocals are wth...She sounds like she's trying to be Alanis Morrisette or something...going into her falsetto after every note. A-n-n-o-y-i-n-g.

It is different from other stuff in the market though, and that's nice...

Seems electropop is making it's stand.

Ayumi27 · #20 4th July 2009, 10:06 PM

I dislike both versions... I really miss her Pies Descalzos/Donde Están Los Ladrones period
