His politically-minded solo debut Fijate Bien (Take a good look) (2000) after Ekhymosis disbanded, earned him three Latin Grammys. The follow-up, Un Día Normal (A Normal Day) produced by Gustavo Santaolalla (2002), was a platinum mega-hit in Latin America and dominated that year's Latin Grammys, where he was nominated for and won five awards including Song of the Year and Album of the Year.
In the 2005 Latin Grammys, Juanes won three additional awards to his nine previous Grammy awards. He took the award for Best Rock Song for Nada Valgo Sin Tu Amor (I'm Worthless Without Your Love), Best Rock Solo Album for Mi Sangre (My Blood) and Best Music Video for Volverte a Ver (To see you again).
His most recent album, La Vida Es Un Ratico (Life is a little moment), was released in November 2007 and won him 3 awards at the 2008 Latin Grammy awards. Hit singles from this album include Me Enamora (You make me fall in love) and Tres (Three).

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ya para mi
Si irme why olvidarte
O tu mejor amigo ser.
Ya somos tan distintos
Why afines a la vez,
Ya no es posible amarnos
Lo veo en tus ojos
Cansados de llorar
Andar en esta guerra
Luchando por amarnos bien.
Lo siento en mis lágrimas
Que ahogan ya mi fe
De hablarnos como antes
Como la primera vez.
why quiero gritar, why quiero gritar.
Por qué se acabó?
Por qué terminó?
Si supuestamente esto
Era para siempre.
Por qué se acabó?
Por qué terminó así?
A dónde fue nuestro amor?
Jardín que sembramos los dos.
A dónde fue nuestro amor?
El viento se lo llevó.
En el lugar más obscuro
De mi espíritu,
Se refleja aun viva tu imagen
Conoce tu carne, tu vida why tu fuerza
Tu noche, tu espacio, tu mente
why quiero gritar, quiero gritar.
Por qué se acabó?
Por que terminó?
Si supuestamente esto
Era para siempre.
Por qué se acabó?
Por qué terminó así?
Por qué se acabó?
Por qué terminó?
Si supuestamente esto
Era para siempre.
Por qué se acabó?
Por qué terminó así?
A dónde fue nuestro amor?
Jardín que sembramos los dos.
A dónde fue nuestro amor?
El viento se lo llevó.
letra de Juanes, Dificil
The lyrics of Juanes's song Dificil describe the complexity of dealing with a breakup and the aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer expresses his despair and confusion as he tries to come to terms with the fact that the love he thought would last forever has come to an end. He is torn between wanting to leave and forget his former partner and wanting to remain close to her as her best friend, despite the impossibility of their former romantic love.
The singer reflects on the changes that have occurred in their relationship, acknowledging that they have become different people, both similar and different at the same time, which complicates their efforts to rekindle the love they once shared. He sees the pain and exhaustion in her eyes from fighting to make their love work, while he also feels weighed down by the tears he has shed trying to hold onto their love, which is now lost.
The singer wonders how their love, which they believed would last forever, could have ended in such an abrupt and painful way. He mourns the loss of their love and reflects on how it used to be such a beautiful part of their lives, like a garden they both planted and tended to, only to have it stolen away by the wind.
