01.En Tus Pupilas
Shakira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quand je regarde dans tes yeux
Je vois que Dieu existe
C'est pas dur croire
Antes de conocerte el mundo era plano
Aunque lo discuta usted Señor Galilei
Y me cansé de besar ranas en vano
Jamás no encontré
Y así llegaste tú
Devolviéndome la fe
Sin poemas y sin flores
Con defectos con errores
Pero en pie
Y siento
Algo en ti algo entre los dos
Que me hace insistir
Cuando miro en tus pupilas sé que Dios no dejó de existir
Y siento
Algo en ti algo entre los dos
Que me hace insistir
Cuando miro en tus pupilas sé que Dios no dejó de existir
Tú lo haces vivir
Tú lo haces vivir
La vida es una colección de recuerdos
Pero a nada como tu recuerdo tan bien
Desde la redondez que tienen tus labios
Al olor de tu pelo
Al color de tu piel
No pienses que te irás y me voy a resignar
Eres lo mejor que me ha pasado
Entre lo mundano y lo sagrado
Y aún más
Y siento
Algo en ti algo entre los dos
Que me hace insistir
Cuando miro en tus pupilas sé que Dios no dejó de existir
Y siento
Algo en ti algo entre los dos
Que me hace insistir
Cuando miro en tus pupilas sé que Dios no dejó de existir
Tú lo haces vivir
Tú lo haces vivir
Quand tu, quand tu me prend dans tes bas
Quand je regarde dans tes yeux
Je vois que Dieu existe
C'est pas dur croire
Y siento
Algo en ti
Y siento
Que algo en mi
Y siento algo en mi
Algo
Algo en mi
The lyrics to Shakira's 01.En Tus Pupilas describe a deep sense of love and belief in a partner who has restored the faith of the singer. The singer reflects on their life before meeting their partner, describing it as empty and meaningless. However, upon meeting their partner, they were given a new sense of purpose and faith. The lyrics suggest that through the love and connection they share, the singer is able to see God's existence and be confident in their belief.
The lyrics also touch upon the theme of resilience and the idea that the imperfections of their partner don't matter because they stand strong together. The singer describes their partner as flawed but perfect for them, with the ability to make God live and exist in their life through their love. There is a clear subversion of societal norms as the singer believes their partner to be the best thing that has ever happened to them, even when compared against the sacred and the mundane.
The use of French in the song adds flair and reinforces the idea of love and faith transcending boundaries. The lyrics portray a deep sense of love for God, oneself, and one's partner. Thus, the song showcases Shakira's ability to capture emotions that are universal.
