La Maza (part. Shakira)

The Mallet (feat. Shakira)

La Maza (part. Shakira)

If I didn't believe in madnessSi no creyera en la locura
From the mockingbird's throatDe la garganta del sinsonte
If I didn't believe that in the woodsSi no creyera que en el monte
The trill and the fear hideSe esconde el trino y la pavura

If I didn't believe in the balanceSi no creyera en la balanza
In the reason of equilibriumEn la razón del equilibrio
If I didn't believe in deliriumSi no creyera en el delirio
If I didn't believe in hopeSi no creyera en la esperanza

If I didn't believe in what I manageSi no creyera en lo que agencio
If I didn't believe in my pathSi no creyera en mi camino
If I didn't believe in my soundSi no creyera en mi sonido
If I didn't believe in my silenceSi no creyera en mi silencio

What would it be? What would it be the mallet without a quarry?¿Qué cosa fuera? ¿Qué cosa fuera la maza sin cantera?
A mass made of strings and tendonsUn amasijo hecho de cuerdas y tendones
A jumble of flesh with woodUn revoltijo de carne con madera
An instrument with no greater intentionsUn instrumento sin mejores pretenciones
Of little lights mounted for the sceneDe lucecitas montadas para escena

What would it be, heart? What would it be?¿Qué cosa fuera, corazón? ¿Qué cosa fuera?
What would it be the mallet without a quarry?¿Qué cosa fuera la maza sin cantera?
A frontman of the traitor of applauseUn testaferro del traidor de los aplausos
A servant of the past in a new cupUn servidor de pasado en copa nueva
An eternalizer of twilight godsUn eternizador de dioses del ocaso
Joy boiled with rags and sequinsJúbilo hervido con trapo y lentejuela

What would it be, heart? What would it be?¿Qué cosa fuera, corazón? ¿Qué cosa fuera?
What would it be the mallet without a quarry?¿Qué cosa fuera la maza sin cantera?
