whenever whenever －－Shakira
Shakira 夏奇拉
1977年2月2日夏奇拉出生于哥伦比亚的加勒比海岸地区，一个从事珠宝生意的中产家庭中，本名叫Shakira Mebarak Ripoll，她的父亲是个业余作家，与前妻生了九个小孩，夏奇拉是他与再婚的太太唯一的女儿，夏奇拉这个名字在拉丁文是指“气质优雅的女性”。从小到大，夏奇拉就是全家人最宠爱的小女儿。受到父亲写作的遗传，夏奇拉从四岁就开始写诗，这也为她将来的创作打下基础。她自10岁起便开始在各个地区性及全国性的音乐大赛中拔得头筹，未满13岁时，即被Sony唱片公司相中签下合约，而她的首张专辑 "Magia"，即是将她在8到13 岁之间所创作完成的作品集结而成。而今，Shakira除了一再地获得各种音乐奖项的肯定外，更被极具影响力与极高荣耀指标的美国时代杂志选为杂志封面人物，被推举为当今Latin艺人的代表人物。
从1996年起到2000年，夏奇拉一共推出三张拉丁专集皆取的骄人的成绩，其中第二张拉丁专辑还曾为她赢取得第41届葛来美音乐奖"最佳拉丁／另类艺人"奖项。
而在占领拉丁及美国市场后，夏奇拉用了两年时间苦学英语，终于推出首张英文专辑Laundry Service（爱情洗礼），在这张专辑中，夏奇拉一人挑起词曲创作以及制作大任，尽情施展她的多才多艺的特质。专辑在全球的销售量惊人，并在发行首周就跃上billboard专辑排行榜的Top3。
专辑中首支单曲Whenever, Wherever是一支奔放、野性十足的动感情歌，以安地斯山脉排笛、巴西鼓等传统乐器调味，同样也在billboard排行榜取得了非常优异的成绩
Lucky you were born
That far away so
So we could both
Make fun of distance
Lucky that I love
A foreign land for
The lucky fact
Of your existence
Baby I would climb
The Andes solely
To count the freckles
On your body
Never could imagine
There were only
Too many ways to
Love somebody
Lo ro lo le lo le
Lo ro lo le lo le
Can't you see
I'm at your feet
Whenever, wherever
We'll learn to
Be together
I'll be there and
You'll be near
And that's the
Deal my dear
They're over
You're under
You'll never have
To wonder
We can always
Play by ear
But that's the
Deal my dear
Lucky that my lips
Not only mumble
They spill kisses
Like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts
Are small and humble
So you don't confuse them
With mountains
Lucky I have strong legs
Like my mother
To run for cover
When I need it
And these two eyes
Are for no other
The day you leave
We'll cry a river
Lo ro lo le lo le
Lo ro lo le lo le
At your feet
I'm at your feet
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to
Be together
I'll be there and
You'll be near
And that's the
Deal my dear
They're over
You're under
You'll never have
To wonder
We can always
Play by ear
But that's the
Deal my dear
Lo ro lo le lo le
Lo ro lo le lo le
We can fly
Say it again
Lo ro lo le lo le lo le
Tell me
One more time
That you'll live
Lost in my eyes
Whenever, wherever
We'll learn to
Be together
I'll be there and
You'll be near
And that's the
Deal my dear
They're over
You're under
You've got me
Head over heels
There's nothing
Left to fear
If you really feel
The way I feel
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to
Be together
I'll be there and
You'll be near
And that's the
Deal my dear
They're over
You're under
You've got me
Head over heels
There's nothing
Left to fear
If you really feel
The way I feel
