Nelly Furtado – Manos Al Aire Lyrics

Singer/Band: Nelly Furtado
Album: Mi Plan
Song Title: Manos Al Aire

Tú, que pierdes el control
Hablando en alta voz
Hieres mi corazón
Yo, tratando de escuchar
No me puedo explicar
Qué extraña sensación.
[Nelly Furtado - Manos Al Aire Lyrics]

Tú no me quieres entender
Y me mandas a callar diciéndome
No me debo sorprender
Porque así es la realidad
De nuestro amor
[Nelly Furtado - Manos Al Aire Lyrics]

Y yo
No tengo armas para enfrentarte
Pongo mis manos, manos al aire
Sólo me importa amarte
En cuerpo y alma como era ayer
[Nelly Furtado - Manos Al Aire Lyrics]

Tú que perdiste el control
Te dejaste llevar
Por la inseguridad
Yo que te he visto crecer
Me puedo imaginar
Que todo cambiará
[Nelly Furtado - Manos Al Aire Lyrics]

Hoy aunque todo siga igual
Y me mandes a callar diciéndome
Que tienes que dominar
O será el final
Y yo no puedo así
[Nelly Furtado - Manos Al Aire Lyrics]

Y yo
No tengo armas para enfrentarte
Pongo mis manos, manos al aire
Sólo me importa amarte
En cuerpo y alma como era ayer
[Nelly Furtado - Manos Al Aire Lyrics]

English Version

Hands Up in the Air

You, that lose control,
speaking loudly,
you hurt my heart,
I, trying to hear,
cannot understand,
what a strange feeling.

You don’t want to understand me and
you order my silence by telling me that
I should not be surprised because such is the reality of our love.

And I don’t have the strength to fight with you
(lit: weapons to confront you), I throw my hands,
hands up in the air,
loving you is the only thing that matters to me,
in body and soul,
as it used to be/as it was yesterday.

You, that lost control,
were taken by insecurity,
I, who has seen you grow up,
can imagine that all will change.

And though today all remains
unchanged & you order my silence by telling me
that you have to either be in control,
or it’s the end, I cannot continue like this.
