Shakira - Si Te Vas (If You Leave)
This song was written by a different Shakira compared to the one we see today, a red-haired diva with a lot of attitude, and as you can't possibly miss in this video, one that enjoys every second of the lyrics and just seems natural and relaxed when performing. The lyrics are simply an expression by a grown woman, and for those of you who don't understand Spanish, there's an English translation at the bottom of the post.

Spanish Lyrics
Cuéntame que harás después que estrenes su cuerpo
Cuando muera tu traviesa curiosidad
Cuando memorices todos sus recovecos
Y decidas otra vez regresar
Ya no estaré aquí en el mismo lugar
Si no tiene más que un par de dedos de frente
Y descubres que no se lava bien los dientes
Si te quita los pocos centavos que tienes
Y luego te deja solo tal como quiere
Sé que volverás el día
En que ella te haga trizas
Sin almohadas para llorar
Pero si te has decidido
Y no quieres más conmigo
Nada ahora puede importar
Porque sin ti
El mundo ya me da igual
Si te vas, si te vas, si te marchas
Mi cielo se hará gris
Si te vas, si te vas, ya no tienes
Que venir por mi
Si te vas, si te vas, y me cambias
Por esa bruja, pedazo de cuero
No vuelvas nunca más
Que no estaré aquí
Toda escoba nueva siempre barre bien
Luego vas a ver desgastadas las cerdas
Cuando las arrugas le corten la piel
Y la celulitis invada sus piernas
Volverás desde tu infierno
Con el rabo entre los cuernos
Implorando una vez mas
Pero para ese entonces
Yo estaré un millón de noches
Lejos de esta enorme ciudad
Lejos de ti
El mundo ya me da igual
Si te vas, si te vas, si te marchas
Mi cielo se hará gris
Si te vas, si te vas, ya no tienes
Que venir por mi
Si te vas, si te vas, y me cambias
Por esa bruja, pedazo de cuero
No vuelvas nunca más
Que no estaré aquí
If You Leave (English Translation)
Tell me what you'll do after the first time you try out her body
When your mischievous curiosity dies
When you memorize all her nooks and crannies
And decide to come back
I won't be here in the same place
If only has a few inches worth of forehead
And you find out she doesn't brush her teeth very well
And she rids you of the few cents that you've got
And later leaves you by your lonesome as she wishes
I know you'll be back the day
that she tears you into pieces leaving you without pillows to cry on
But if you've decided you want nothing more to do with me
Nothing else can really matter
Because without you
The world's still the same to me
If you leave, if you leave, if you march off
my sky will turn to grey
If you leave, if you leave, if you march off
You don't have to come just for my sake
If you leave, if you leave, if you march off
and you trade me for that witch, you piece of crap
don't ever come back because I won't be here
Every new broom sweeps well at first
But later on the bristles get bent
When the wrinkles impede upon her skin
and the cellulite starts to invade her legs
You'll emerge from your personal hell
with your tail between your horns
begging once again
but for that very reason
I'll be a million nights away from this enormous city
Far away from you
And the world is just the same to me
If you leave, if you leave, if you march off
my sky will turn to grey
If you leave, if you leave, if you march off
You don't have to come just for my sake
If you leave, if you leave, if you march off
and you trade me for that witch, you piece of crap
don't ever come back because I won't be here
