There has to be a better way to translate this, translating a song should be translating the meaning...this, Im so sorry... simply makes no sense. What exactly is she trying to say when she talks about a tiger.. that meaning should be translated, otherwise Shakira sounds stupid and we all know that Shakira is not stupid.

the song essentialy has no meaning. It's part-cover of El Cata's Loca con su Tigre which is very, VERY bad spanish. Thats song was basically about how thugs can get rich girls cause they got game. The lyrics jus sound cool and super catchy. That's all this song really is: catchy! lol. Check out El Cata's version, it's pretty good but no, if it doesn't make sense that's because there is none. "Que te la bebe" ?? come on! I personally think it's "Que te la vuelve" which would be something like "it's driving you crazy" which makes more sense. And tiger I thought was used cause it's a wild cat but I found out it's Dominican for "thug" I think it can go either way.
I could not figure out how to change the source lyrics but a few parts are wrong. I translated mine to what the lyrics were in the book. The wrong parts were, in order, as follows:
Yo compro condo' [yo compro con, oh]
Cuando amarro ya mejora y mira [Cuanto más rayas mejor y mira]
se colán lo ra-ta-ta [se cola lo ra-ta-ta]
Again, mine were just from her lyric book, I think we all know those aren't always right tho !
*I changed the "el está por mí" back to my original translation after speaking to friend about El Cata's version. This makes more sense to what that song meant.
*So I checked into other meanings for tigre cause I don't know any slang for it that would fit this song and a friend mentioned that it's Dominican for a "thug" or basically a poor street-kid so basically in this song Shakira's the thug.
