Shakira (Loba/She Wolf)

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

dunno why people doesnt like it?


maybe bcose they dont understand where shes coming from

the song has styles of singing similars to Julieta parra (Chilean folklore poet/singer), and also from Mecano (this Spanish band ) and also the new upbeat that everyone is using lately

i think shes genius and people is gonna get use to this song xD


EDIT: I didn't listen to the English version... I didn't want to ruin that I liked it XD

[roanmy]

Loves it!

[Sundae]

The song is still a little ehh for me. I'm not feeling it right now. I like the spanish version better than the english for sure.

I agree. This song is very Mecano-ish .

Hmmm, i still don't know if i like this song or not. I hate her voice when she says "sigilosa al pasar", or "sos she's in disguise" in the english version =/.

I <3 the moanings tho lol

Anyway, video preview:



EDIT: The last pic should've been the cover of the album lol

[mcluva420]

[JackieRos]

i saw the preview on the news people were criticizing cos she looks nakey

[ストロボ・EdGE]

I saw it online today! "Loba", lol... I like how she releases the same stuff in English and Spanish like Laura Pausini releases everything in Italian and Spanish.

Yeah I like the Spanish version I heard better. I like the song, it's interesting.

[naxxo.licious™]

The leotard she's wearing in the video reminds me of Madonna's Hung Up/Sorry outfit lol.

The song has grown on me. I like it. I will never like the "silenciosa al pasar"'s tho .

I'll translate the spanish lyrics and i'll post them later.

[Aisha_Angel]

I prefer the spanish version over the english one, it flows better to me. Then again, I only listened to the english one once so...^_^

Either way, I can't wait for her new album. Shakira is AWESOME!

[Maemi]

This song is amazing! It's smth she has never done before!

[ImpactBreaker]

I went to a night club yesterday and they played this song..can't remember if it was a remix, but it sounded cool!

[JackieRos]

I can't understand her in english nor spanish

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.

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,

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/

When I first heard this song I immediately liked it. The Chorus makes this song.

My only problem with this song is that it's too short and the Chorus only pops up twice and that doesn't even last that long.

This is suppose to be a dance song and the Chorus is where it let's loose. There's a lot of empty space towards the end of this song where at least, AT LEAST, 2 more Choruses SHOULD HAVE BEEN added. Although more than that could have been added and then the song could have just faded out with them playing over and over. That's my only beef.

The Chorus is very hypnotizing and they didn't implement it as well as they should have.

Oh yeah, the wolf howls that she do just sounds weird and out of place. Should have added some effects to her voice. Sounds so photoshopped on top of the actual music.

Like the song though.

[naxxo.licious™]

^I agree with u .

Maybe someone should make an "extended mix". That'd be awesome.

[fantasma3c]

Never really liked Shakira...

[brener]

I luv this song!!~

mte. I can hear some words and then I can't hear some others so the song just kinda sounds jumbled. Especially during that chorus.

Well yeah, i agree lol.

I had the hardest time trying to figure out what she was saying in "La Tortura", until i gave up and searched the lyrics.

It's kinda sad when u have search the lyrics of songs that are in your own language .

"Mejor te guardas todo eso
A otro perro con ese hueso
Y nos decimos adiós"
