I'm a gypsy.
This is one of Shakira's songs in which she says 'I'm a gypsy'.
Why does she say 'because I'm a gypsy'?
What is her definition of 'a gypsy'?
Thank you!
Broke my heart
Down the road
Spend the weekend
Sewing the pieces back on
Crayons and dolls pass me by
Walking gets too boring
When you learn how to fly
Not the homecoming kind
Take the top off
And who knows what you might find
Won't confess all my sins
You can bet I'll try it
But I can't always win
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a gypsy
But are you coming with me?
I might steal your clothes
And wear them if they fit me
I never made agreements
Just like a gypsy
And I won't back down
'Cause life's already hurt me
And I won't cry
I'm too young to die
If you're gonna quit me
'Cause I'm a gypsy
('Cause I'm a gypsy)
[Verse 2]
I can't hide
what I've done
Scars remind me
Of just how far that I've come
To whom it may concern
Only run with scissors
When you want to get hurt
[Chorus]
I said hey you
You're no fool
If you say 'NO'
Ain't it just the way life goes?
People fear what they don't know
Come along for the ride (Oh yeah)
Come along for the ride
It is using some of the stereotypes about gypsies as metaphors or her lifestyle. She said on British TV that she considers herself a 'mutt', a mongrel dog, in other words someone of mixed ethnic diversity, and she said that this is a theme in 'Gypsy'. Gypsies are seen as romantic and free (think Carmen); as well as stubborn and a little bit dishonest. Here's some more information on the song: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gypsy_(Shakira_song)
