03. Un poco de amor
Shakira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So come listen to di one
Mi a go' mash up on di plan
Now dis, now dis is a message from di alluland
Hoy es un da de aquellos
En que miro hacia el cielo
Tratando de descifrar el que estés
Y de vez en cuando cerca
Unas veces subir y otras caer
Y yo cuando tú te me acercas
No respondo de mis actos
Siento que aquí voy
De odiarte, a quererte
De principio a fin
Buscando un poco de amor
You gotta rock it out and rock it in
From Dublin to Babylon
(Buscando un poco de amor)
Jump it out and jump it in
From Kingston to Providenceland
(Buscando un poco de amor)
Hay cosas en la vida
En que no encuentras salida
Y ante tus ojos se cierra el telón
Y tapas la boquilla del volcán que se hace lava
Que hace mil años esta aquí dentro
Y yo tejiendo redecillas
Para ver si puedo atraparte
Y aquí voy colando la masilla
En medio de este trópico mortal
Roots and creation, come again!
So mi guardian, mi guardian mi lift up di plan
Now everybody a go' do dis one
Like in down di Caribbean
San Andrés, Providence Island
Live it up, make it love sensation
Say goodbye to di world's segregation
Dis a di age of di new generation
Lift it up to di high revelation
Y aquí voy tejiendo redecillas
Para ver si puedo atraparte
Y aquí estoy colando la masilla
En medio de este trópico mortal
Todo por un poco de amor
(Buscando un poco de amor)
We gotta rock it out and rock it in
From Dublin to Babylon
(Buscando un poco de amor)
Jump it out and jump it in
(Jump it out and jump it in)
(Jump it out and jump it in)
From Brasilia to Medellin
(Buscando un poco de amor)
Rock it out and rock it in
(Oh, yeah)
From Aruba to Panama
(Por un poquito de tu amor)
(Buscando un poco de amor)
Jump it out and jump it in
From Kingston to Providenceland
(¿Dónde estás?)
(Buscando un poco de amor)
You gotta rock it out and rock it in
From Dublin to Babylon
(Por un poquito de tu amor)
(Buscando un poco de amor)
Jump it out and jump it in
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah)
From Brasilia to Medellin
(Buscando un poco de amor)
Rock it out and rock it in
(Oh, yeah)
From Aruba to Panama
(Por un poquito de tu amor)

In Shakira's song "03. Un Poco De Amor," the lyrics reflect an individual going through various emotions in search of love. The first verse talks about trying to decipher and understand someone who is sometimes near and sometimes far away. The second verse talks about the struggles of life and how sometimes it feels like there's no way out. It's all about the search for love, which the singer finds difficult, but it's something she's always looking for. The chorus talks about jumping and rocking it out in various locations in search of love, highlighting how the search for love can take you to different places.
The song's chorus repeats the phrase "buscando un poco de amor," or "looking for a little bit of love," which highlights the song's central theme of searching for love. The lyrics refer to the struggles and emotions that come with seeking love, from highs to lows. The song's upbeat reggae-influenced melody contrasts with the heavy subject matter, creating a balance between the emotions of seeking love and the feeling of being able to overcome difficulties with hope.
Interestingly, "03. Un Poco De Amor" was originally written in English before being translated into Spanish for the album. The song was also included in the soundtrack of the video game FIFA Football 2002. The Caribbean influences in the music reflect Shakira's Colombian roots, particularly in the rhythm and instrumentation used. The song was well-received and was nominated for the Latin Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 2000. The title "03" refers to the track number of the song on the album, and it is also the third track on the album. Overall, the song is a reflection of Shakira's distinctive style of blending genres and styles to create a unique sound.
