Anos Luz
Shakira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No hay porque dejar
Para hacer después
Lo que quieras ya
Es el instinto
Deja que te sacuda
El cielo es de los que creen
Soy un volcán, en erupción
Entra en razón, que suba el telón
Cámara, acción (oh)
Esperar
Es un mar
Que aún no sé
Navegar
No te quedes
Años luz, ya estoy decidida
Y quiero saber si lo estás tú
Ven confía en mi
No hay margen de error
Deja que en mi piel
Brille tu sudor
¿Qué es lo que esperas?
Ya casi madrugada, mi cremallera
No está electrificada
No me tengas más consideración
Entra en razón, que suba el telón
Cámara, acción (oh)
Esperar
Es un mar
Que aún no sé
Navegar
No te quedes
Años luz ya estoy decidida
Y quiero saber si lo estás tú
Subiré por tu espalda la seda
Como en el muro la entredadera
Cuando se besen la luna y la arena
Nadie nos mira esta noche es nuestra
No habrá testigos no habrá evidencia
Somos solamente yo y tu conciencia
¿Qué es lo que esperas?
¿Qué es lo que esperas?
No me tengas más consideración
Entra en razón, que suba el telón
Cámara, acción (oh)
Esperar
Es un mar
Que aún no sé
Navegar
No te quedes
Años luz, ya estoy decidida
Y quiero saber si lo estás
Esperar
Es un mar
Que aún no sé
Navegar
No te quedes
Años luz ya estoy decidida
Y quiero saber si lo estás tú
Tú
Tú
Tú
Tú
Tú
Tú
Tú
Tú
Tú

In Shakira's song "Años Luz," she encourages her lover to trust her and act on their desires without hesitation. She uses powerful metaphors, such as "I am a volcano in eruption" and "waiting is a sea that I have yet to navigate," to convey the urgency of their passion. Shakira desires to know if her lover shares the same level of commitment, asking, "Years of light, I am already decided, and I want to know if you are too."
The lyrics suggest a sense of impulsiveness and a desire for immediate satisfaction. Shakira expresses her willingness to explore her lover's body and embrace their intimate moments, while encouraging her lover to shed any reservations and succumb to their desires. The line, "when the moon and the sand kiss, no one is watching, tonight is ours," adds to the urgency of their passion, suggesting an atmosphere of secrecy and spontaneity.
Overall, "Años Luz" is a song about embracing one's passions and living in the moment. Shakira encourages her lover to be unapologetically bold, to trust their instincts, and to convey their level of commitment to her. The song is an ode to raw, unfiltered desire and the freedom that comes with it.
