Carlos Vives - La Bicicleta ft. Shakira (English Translation)
[Verse 1: Carlos Vives]
I will do nothing
Searching through past wounds
I will not lose
I don’t want to be a guy from another side

[Pre-Chorus: Shakira & Carlos Vives]
Your way, uncomplicated
On a bike that will take you everywhere
A desperate vallenato

[Chorus: Shakira & Carlos Vives]
A letter that I keep where I wrote to you
That I dream of you and love you so much
That for a long time, my heart’s been beating for you
Beating for you
The one that I keep where I wrote to you
That I dream of you and love you so much
That it's been a while in my heart beating for you
Beating for you

[Verse 2: Shakira]
I can be happy
Walking relaxed through the crowd
I want you like that
And I like you because you’re different
[Pre-Chorus: Carlos Vives]
My way, unmasked
On a bike that takes me everywhere
A desperate vallenato

[Chorus: Shakira & Carlos Vives]
A letter that I keep where I wrote to you
That I dream of you and love you so much
That for a long time, my heart’s been beating for you, beating for you
The one that I keep where I wrote to you
That I dream of you and love you so much
That it's been a while in my heart beating for you
Beating for you

[Bridge: Shakira & Carlos Vives]
She’s the favorite, the one that sings in the zone
She moves her hips like a ship between the waves
She has bare feet like a child that adores
And her long hair, it’s a sun that you crave
She likes to be told that she’s the girl, the Lola
She likes to be looked at when she’s dancing alone
She likes loving the house, may not the hours pass
She likes Barranquilla, she likes Barcelona
Take me, take me on your bike
Hey, Carlos, take me on your bike
I want us to travel this zone together
From Santa Marta to La Arenosa
Take me, take me on your bike
So that we can play ball in the Chancleta
Because if one day, you show Pique the Tayrona
He won’t want to go to Barcelona
[Pre-Chorus: Shakira & Carlos Vives]
My way, uncomplicated
On a bike that takes me everywhere
A desperate vallenato

[Chorus: Shakira & Carlos Vives]
A letter that I keep where I wrote to you
That I dream of you and love you so much
That for a long time, my heart’s been beating for you, beating for you
The one that I keep where I wrote to you
That I dream of you and love you so much
That for a long time, my heart’s been beating for you, beating for you

[Outro: Shakira]
Take me, take me on your bike
Hey, Carlos, take me on your bike
Because if one day, you show Pique the Tayrona
He won’t want to go to Barcelona
Take me, take me on your bike
Hey, Carlos, take me on your bike
Because if one day, you show Pique the Tayrona
He won’t want to go to Barcelona
