With a catalog of 145 songs, Shakira has sold over 80 million records, making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time. Forbes Colombia reported that as of 2018, she is the top-selling female Latin artist of all time. She is credited with opening the doors of the international market for other Latin artists. She has received numerous awards, including three Grammy Awards, twelve Latin Grammy Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, seven Billboard Music Awards, thirty-nine Billboard Latin Music Awards, twenty-one Guinness World Records and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She was named the Top Female Latin Artist of the Decade by Billboard twice (2000s and 2010s).

Algo En Ti
Shakira Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cada día pienso en ti
Pienso un poco más en ti
Despedazo mi razón
Se destruye algo de mi
Cada día pienso en ti
Pienso un poco más en ti

Cada día pienso en ti

Pienso un poco más en ti
Cada vez que sale el sol
Busco en algo el valor
Para continuar así

Y te veo así no te toque
Rezo por ti cada noche
Amanece y pienso en ti
Y retumba en mis oídos
El tictac de los relojes
Y sigo pensando en ti

Y sigo pensando
