Shakira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ladies up in here tonight
No fighting, no fighting
We got the refugees up in here
No fighting, no fighting
Shakira, Shakira
She makes a man wants to speak Spanish
Como se llama, si, bonita, si, mi casa, su casa
Shakira, Shakira
(Shakira)
Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body
And I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see baby, this is perfection
(Wyclef)
Hey girl, I can see your body moving
And it's driving me crazy
And I didn't have the slightest idea
Until I saw you dancing
And when you walk up on the dance floor
Nobody cannot ignore the way you move your body, girl
And everything so unexpected - the way you right and left it
So you can keep on taking it
I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man want to speak Spanish
Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa
Shakira, Shakira
(Shakira)
Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body
And I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie
And I am starting to feel you boy
Come on let's go, real slow
Don't you see baby asi es perfecto
Oh I know I am on tonight my hips don't lie
And I am starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see baby, this is perfection
Shakira, Shakira
Oh boy, I can see your body moving
Half animal, half man
I don't, don't really know what I'm doing
But you seem to have a plan
My will and self restraint
Have come to fail now, fail now
See, I am doing what I can, but I can't so you know
That's a bit too hard to explain
Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de día
Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de día
(Wyclef)
I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man want to speak Spanish
Como se llama, bonita, mi casa,
Shakira, Shakira
(Shakira)
Oh baby when you talk like that
You know you got me hypnotized
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body
(Wyclef)
Señorita,
Feel the conga,
Let me see you move like you come from Colombia
Mira en Barranquilla se baila así, say it!
Mira en Barranquilla se baila así
Yeah
She's so sexy every man's fantasy a refugee like me back with the Fugees from a third world country
I go back like when Pac carried crates for humpty humpty
I need a whole club dizzy
Why the CIA wanna watch us?
Colombians and Haitians
I ain't guilty, it's a musical transaction
No more do we snatch ropes
Refugees run the seas 'cause we own our own boats
(Shakira)
I'm on tonight, my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel you boy
Come on let's go, real slow
Baby, like this is perfecto
Oh, you know I am on tonight and my hips don't lie
And I am starting to feel it's right
The attraction, the tension
Baby, like this is perfection
No fighting
No fighting
The song "Hips Don't Lie" is an upbeat dance track with a Latin influence that features Shakira and Wyclef Jean. The lyrics are focused on the physical attraction between two people and the power of dance to bring them together. In the opening lines, Wyclef sets the tone for the rest of the song, encouraging everyone to have a good time and forget about fighting. Shakira then takes over and sings about how her body language is a sign of how she is feeling, and she is ready to dance and connect with someone.
As the song progresses, both singers continue to compliment each other on their moves and their physical attributes. Shakira sings in Spanish at times, adding to the Latin flair of the song. The chorus is the most memorable part of the song, with the repeated line "My hips don't lie," emphasizing the power of body language over words.
One interpretation of the song is that it celebrates the universal language of dance and how it can bring people of different cultures and backgrounds together. Another interpretation is that it is about the power of physical attraction and how that can lead to a deeper connection between two people. Overall, "Hips Don't Lie" is a fun, upbeat song with a catchy chorus that has become a classic of Shakira and Wyclef's collaboration.

Plenty of ladies are present in this environment
No fighting, no fighting
Everyone should refrain from fighting

People who have been displaced from their homeland are present in this environment
I never really knew that she could dance like this
I was unaware of her ability to dance in this fashion
She makes a man wants to speak Spanish
She is so captivating that it inspires a desire to speak Spanish
Como se llama, si, bonita, si, mi casa, su casa
What is your name? Yes, beautiful, yes, my home is your home
Oh baby when you talk like that
Your words have a powerful effect on me
You make a woman go mad
You drive women to madness with your speech

And I'm on tonight
I have a high level of energy tonight
You know my hips don't lie
The movements of my hips accurately convey my true feelings
And I'm starting to feel it's right
I am beginning to feel that this is the right moment
All the attraction, the tension
The attraction and tension between us
Don't you see baby, this is perfection
Can't you see, this is the perfect moment
Hey girl, I can see your body moving
I am drawn to the movements of your body
And it's driving me crazy
It is having a powerful effect on me
And I didn't have the slightest idea
I was completely unaware
Until I saw you dancing
Until I witnessed your style of dancing
And when you walk up on the dance floor
When you take to the dance floor
Nobody cannot ignore the way you move your body, girl
No one can ignore your movements
And everything so unexpected - the way you right and left it
The way you transition from side to side is surprising
So you can keep on taking it
Continue to keep everyone enthralled with your dancing

Your speech has a powerful effect on me
You know you got me hypnotized
You have me under a spell
So be wise and keep on
Use good judgment and continue
Señorita, Feel the conga,
Miss, feel the beat of the conga drums

I want to see you dance as if you are from Colombia
Mira en Barranquilla se baila así, say it!
This is how they dance in Barranquilla, say it!
She's so sexy every man's fantasy
She's so alluring that she is every man's fantasy
a refugee like me back with the Fugees from a third world country
I am a refugee like myself, and I am part of the Fugees from a developing country
I go back like when Pac carried crates for humpty humpty
I go back pretty far, like the time when Tupac carried crates for Digital Underground
I need a whole club dizzy
I want to make the entire club feel disoriented with my music
Why the CIA wanna watch us?
Why does the CIA feel the need to monitor us?
Colombians and Haitians
People from Colombia and Haiti
I ain't guilty, it's a musical transaction
I am not guilty, it is a musical exchange
No more do we snatch ropes
We no longer steal ropes
Refugees run the seas 'cause we own our own boats
Refugees can control the waters because we own our own boats
No fighting
There should be no fighting
