Spanish Listening Challenge
We are back with another Spanish listening challenge with Shakira this time. For this challenge, you will listen to a song in Spanish and fill in blanks that you see while you watch the video. You will also try to see if you can beat my score that I got as well.
This is a great way to improve your listening skills in Spanish. It is also a fun way to practice and you can learn some new songs and vocabulary.
For our Spanish listening challenge, we will use a great site called lyricstraining.com. To get the most out of this listening challenge follow the steps below before you head over to lyrics training.
About
This listening challenge is a Spanish listening challenge with Shakira. Still staying in Colombia again with probably one of the country’s most famous singers Shakira. Get ready for this one! For me, this was a rough one to figure out. The song is “Chantaje” and it is by Shakira & Maluma. It has some fast parts that I had to replay several times before I could get close to figuring it out. There were even times when I hit every key on the keyboard to figure out the first letter. This was mainly because several of the blanks that I had I could not hear the word at all and had to just guess. I played this song at the beginner level and my best score, for now, is 269.
First

Lyrics:
[Maluma]
Cuando estás bien te alejas de mí
Te sientes sola y siempre estoy ahí
Es una guerra de toma y dame
pues dame de eso que tiene’ ahí
Oye baby no seas mala
no me dejes con las ganas
se escucha en la calle
que ya no me quieres
ven y dímelo en la cara
[Shakira]
Pregúntale a quien tú quieras
Vida, te juro que eso no es así
Yo nunca tuve una mala intención
Yo nunca quise burlarme de ti
Conmigo ves, nunca se sabe
Un día digo que no y otro que sí
Chorus
[Maluma]
Yo soy masoquista
[Shakira]
Con mi cuerpo un egoísta
[Maluma y Shakira]
Tú eres
puro, puro chantaje
puro, puro chantaje
Siempre es a tu manera
Yo te quiero aunque no quieras
Tú eres
puro, puro chantaje
puro, puro chantaje
Vas libre como el aire
No soy de ti ni de nadie
[Maluma]
Como tú me tientas cuando tú te mueves
Ese movimiento sexy siempre me entretiene
Sabes manipularme bien con tus caderas
No sé porqué me tienes en lista de espera
[Shakira]
Te dicen por ahí que voy haciendo y deshaciendo
Que salgo cada noche, que te tengo ahí sufriendo
Que en esta relación soy yo la que mando
No pares bola a toda esa mala propaganda
Pa-pa’qué te digo na’, te comen el oído
No vaya a enderezar lo que no se ha torcido
[Maluma]
Y como un loco sigo trás de tí
Muriendo por ti
dime que hay pa’mi, bebé
[Shakira]
Qué?
Pregúntale a quien tú quieras
Vida, te juro que eso no es así
Yo nunca tuve una mala intención
Yo nunca quise burlarme de ti
Conmigo ves, nunca se sabe
Un día digo que no y otro que sí
Chorus
[Maluma y Shakira]
Yo soy masoquista
Con mi cuerpo un egoísta
Tú eres
puro, puro chantaje
puro, puro chantaje
Siempre es a tu manera
Yo te quiero aunque no quieras
Tú eres
puro, puro chantaje
puro, puro chantaje
Vas libre como el aire
No soy de ti ni de nadie
eh eh eh eh eh
nadie (nadie)
eh eh eh eh eh
nadie
Con mi cuerpo un egoísta
Tú eres
puro, puro chantaje
puro, puro chantaje
Siempre es a tu manera
Yo te quiero aunque no quieras
Tú eres
puro, puro chantaje
puro, puro chantaje
Vas libre como el aire
No soy de ti ni de nadie
eh eh eh eh eh
nadie
eh eh eh eh eh
nadie
eh eh eh eh
All right allright baby
Shakira, Maluma
Pretty Boy
Colombia
you feel me
Pretty boy
