Lucky you were born that far away
So we could both make fun of distance
Lucky that I love a foreign man for
The lucky fact of your existence
Baby I would climb the Andes solely
To count the freckles on your body
Never could imagine there were only
Ten million ways to love somebody

Le ro lo le lo le
Le ro lo le lo le
Can't you see...I'm at your feet

Whenever, Wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover, here under
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear

Lucky that my lips not only mumble
they spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
To run for cover when I need it
And these two eyes that for no other
The day you leave will cry a river

Le ro lo le lo le
Le ro lo le lo le

At your feet...I'm at your feet

Whenever, Wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover, here under
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear

Le ro lo le lo le
Le ro lo le lo le

Think out loud, say it again

Le ro lo le lo le lo le

Tell me one more time
That you'll live
Lost in my eyes

Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
You're over, you're under
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel

Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
You're over, you're under
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel

    General Comment:For me, this song is about being able to conquer distance with love.

    On other unrelated notes to the MEANING OF THE DAMN SONG, Colombian women are some of the most beautiful in the world. And her stuff in English sucks compared to her stuff in Spanish. I respect her a lot for trying though.

    As far as Americans (or rather, estadounidenses?)... we're like any other group of people: A few good ones and a whole lot of fuckups. But don't judge us all on the morons, just as I wouldn't judge all Colombians based on Escobar.

    General Comment:Not all Americans are like that. There foreign policy sucks and some of there people are quite stupid, there education system is pretty bad but there some very nice Americans as well.
    But yeah this is a great song. She is so pretty can't believe she 30+ now amazeing. She makes me wanna do all the hip swinging things. Which is slightly less fun as I guy but I enjoy it

    The song is wonderful, with a melody that resonates in your head for some time after you hear the song. Powerfully optimistic, it is a nice song to hear over and over agaon. Not that I recommend that sort of activity.

    But if I had to choose between the music and her...well, I defintitely take Shakira...Baby got back!!
