Her success was further solidified with the Spanish albums Fijación Oral, Vol. 1 (2005), Sale el Sol (2010) and El Dorado (2017), all of which topped the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart and were certified diamond (Latin) by the Recording Industry Association of America.

Shakira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's the greatest cook
And she's fat free
She's been to private school
And she speaks perfect French
She's got the perfect friends
Oh isn't she cool?
She practices Tai Chi
She'd never lose her nerve
She's more than you deserve
She's just far better than me
Hey, hey
So don't bother
I won't die of deception
I promise you won't ever see me cry
Don't feel sorry
And don't bother
I'll be fine
But she's waiting
The ring you gave to her will lose its shine
So don't bother, be unkind
I'm sure she doesn't know
How to touch you like I would
I beat her at that one good
Don't you think so?
She's almost six feet tall
She must think I'm a flea
I'm really a cat, you see
And it's not my last life at all
Hey, hey
So don't bother
I won't die of deception
I promise you won't ever see me cry
Don't feel sorry
Don't bother
I'll be fine
But she's waiting
The ring you gave to her will lose its shine
So don't bother, be unkind
For you, I'd give up all I own
And move to a communist country
If you came with me, of course
And I'd file my nails so they don't hurt you
And lose those pounds, and learn about football
If it made you stay, but you won't, but you won't
So don't bother
I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine
I promise you won't ever see me cry
And after all I'm glad that I'm not your type
I promise you won't ever see me cry
Don't bother
I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine
I promise you won't ever see me cry
And after all I'm glad that I'm not your type
Not your type, not your type, not your type
I promise you won't ever see me cry
The song "Don't Bother" by Shakira is all about a woman who is trying to convince her ex-boyfriend to move on with his new girlfriend and leave her alone. Shakira sings about how the new girlfriend is perfect in every way, but also throws a bit of shade by pointing out that she's also "cool" and "fat-free". The singer also tries to make herself look good by saying that she's better at some things, like "touching" and being "cat-like". She even goes to the extent of saying that she will give up everything and move to a communist country if it meant that her ex would stay with her.
However, in the end, the singer acknowledges that she's better off without the ex-boyfriend, and that she's glad that she's not his type. She won't cry over him, and she's determined to move on with her life. The song is a confident and empowering anthem, encouraging listeners to not settle for someone who doesn't treat them right, and to be confident in themselves.
Overall, "Don't Bother" is a strong and upbeat song with an important message. It encourages listeners to be confident and to move on with their lives after a breakup. It also serves as a reminder that there are plenty of great people out there, and that no one should settle for less than they deserve.

Do you agree?
She's almost six feet tall
She is very tall
She must think I'm a flea
She must see me as insignificant
I'm really a cat, you see
I am in fact an impressive creature
And it's not my last life at all
I have many chances and opportunities
For you, I'd give up all I own
For you, I'd sacrifice everything I have
And move to a communist country
And go to a country with a political system where property is collectively owned
If you came with me, of course
Only if you join me
And I'd file my nails so they don't hurt you
And I'd take care of myself so I won't cause you any inconvenience
And lose those pounds, and learn about football
And lose weight, and learn about a sport that you like
If it made you stay, but you won't, but you won't
If it could make you stay, but that's not possible
And after all I'm glad that I'm not your type
In the end, I'm happy that I'm not the kind of person you really want
Not your type, not your type, not your type
It's clear that I'm not the kind of person you truly desire
