next = "Animal City ""Obtener Un Sí" (English: literally "To Obtain a Yes", roughly translated as "For me to Agree") is asong written by theColombia n musicianShakira for her fifth fullSpanish language album , "Fijación Oral Vol. 1 ", which was released on early 2005. The song is a tribute to the late 1950sBrazil ian music styleBossa nova , since the singer is an admirer of the Brazilian musical culture. It's in the soundtrack of the Brazilians soap opera "Páginas da Vida " (Pages Of Life). It's the theme of the character "Carmen".In the song lyrics, a woman advises her suitor to do nice things for her (like sending her flowers) so that he may "get a yes" from her if he asks her to be his date.
Chart performance
So far, "Obtener Un Sí" has peaked in
Colombia n Singles Chart at #69, and in theU.S. "Billboard"Hot Latin Tracks chart at #48. Since the song was never released as an official single (it is theB-side to "Illegal"), it is probable that it has charted due to the success that "La Tortura " found on different radio formats.ong credits
