Shakira featuring Wyclef Jean's, "Hips Don't Lie"
The Lyrics:
I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man wants to speak Spanish
Como se llama (si), bonita (si),
Mi casa (si), su casa (Shakira, Shakira)
[...]
Come on lets go, real slow
Don't you see baby asi es perfecto
[...]
Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de día
Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de día
[...]
Senorita, feel the conga,
Let me see you move like you come from Colombia
Mira en Barranquilla se baila así, say it!
Mira en Barranquilla se baila así
She makes a man wants to speak Spanish
Como se llama (si), bonita (si),
Mi casa (si), su casa (Shakira, Shakira)
[...]
Come on lets go, real slow
Don't you see baby asi es perfecto
[...]
Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de día
Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de día
[...]
Senorita, feel the conga,
Let me see you move like you come from Colombia
Mira en Barranquilla se baila así, say it!
Mira en Barranquilla se baila así
Why:
A remake of Wyclef Jean's "Dance Like This", the Spanish version translate into English as "What's your name? (Yes), Pretty (Yes), My house (Yes), Its house (Yes)"; "that he is perfect"; "It dances in the street at night, it dances in the street by day (twice)" and "Sight in Barranquilla is danced thus". Translations from Babelfish... which I won't be using again in a hurry.
