So if you think that news from Colombia only mean Latin bombshell Shakira and drug trafficking, think again: Juanes (Juan Esteban Aristiz\u00e1bal V\u00e1squez) is here to stay. The 35-year-old was a member of the heavy metal band Ekhymosis <\/em>but disbanded the group in 1998 to pursue a solo career. Besides being a best-selling recording artist and having won more than ten Latin Grammys so far, Juanes is also known for his humanitarian work, especially with aid for Colombian victims of anti-personnel mines. In 2006, French Culture Minister Renaud Donnedie awarded Juanes with the highest cultural honor given by France, L’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres<\/em>, declaring him “Knight in the order of Arts and Letters” for his work in social activism.
\nOne of his latest videos, Me Enamora<\/a><\/strong> (It makes me fall in love) was released on October 23rd, 2007. Here\u00b4s the lyrics and the underlined expressions and words are translated:<\/p>\n


\n
\nMe enamora
\n
\nCada blanco de mi mente
\nSe vuelve color con verte
\nY el deseo <\/u>de tenerte (desire)
\nEs m\u00e1s fuerte, es m\u00e1s fuerte
\n
\nS\u00f3lo quiero que me lleves
\nDe tu mano por la senda <\/u>(path)
\nY atravesar el bosque <\/u>(woods)
\nQue divide nuestras vidas
\n
\nHay tantas cosas que me gustan hoy de ti\u2026
\n
\nMe enamora que me hables con tu boca
\nMe enamora que me eleves hasta el cielo
\nMe enamora que de mi sea tu alma so\u00f1adora
\nEsperanza de mis ojos
\nSin ti mi vida no tiene sentido
\nSin ti mi vida es como un remolino <\/u>(whirlwind)
\nDe cenizas <\/u>que se van oh oh oh oh (ashes)
\nVolando con el viento\u2026
\n
\nYo no s\u00e9 si te merezco
\nS\u00f3lo s\u00e9 que a\u00fan deseo
\nQue le des luz a mi vida
\nEn los d\u00edas venideros<\/u> (upcoming days)
\n
\nL\u00e9eme muy bien los labios
\nTe lo digo bien despacio <\/u>(slowly)
\nPor el resto de mis d\u00edas
\nQuiero ser tu compa\u00f1\u00eda
\n
\nHay tantas cosas que me gustan hoy de ti\u2026
\n
\nMe enamora\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
