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. Meanwhile, her English albums Oral Fixation, Vol. 2 (2005), She Wolf (2009) and Shakira (2014) were all certified gold, platinum or multi-platinum in various countries worldwide. She served as a coach on two seasons of the American singing competition television series The Voice (2013–2014).
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). For her philanthropic work with her Barefoot Foundation and her contributions to music she received the Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year and Harvard Foundation Artist of the Year awards in 2011.

Lo Hecho Está Hecho
Shakira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lo que empieza no termina
Del mini bar al eden
Y en muy mala compañía
Era ese sabor en tu piel
Azufre revuelto con miel
Asi que me llene de coraje y me fui a caminar por el lado salvaje
Pensé "no me mires así"
Ya sé lo que quieres de mí
Que no hay que ser vidente aquí
Para un mal como tú no hay cuerpo que aguante
Lo hecho está hecho
Volvi a tropezar con la misma piedra que hubo siempre
Se siente tan bien todo lo que hace mal
Y contigo nunca es suficiente
Eh eh eh eh
Ah ah ah ah
Eh eh eh eh
Ah ah ah ah
Cómo fue (ah)
Qué paso (ah)
Esa noche (de los dos)
Impaciente (los dos)
Fueron a llamar (ah)
De la recepción (ah)
Cuando se quejaban (otra vez)
De la 17 (hey)
No puedo hacer nada normal
Acabar eligiendo tan mal (hey)
En materia de hombres soy toda una experta siempre en repetir mis errores
No hay ceguera peor
Que no querer mirar (hey)
Cuando te guardabas el anillo dentro del bolsillo y dejarlo pasar
Lo hecho está hecho
Volvi a tropezar con la misma piedra que hubo siempre
Se siente tan bien todo lo que hace mal
Y contigo nunca es suficiente
Eh eh eh eh
Ah ah ah ah
Eh eh eh eh
Ah ah ah ah
Nunca me sentí tan fuera de lugar
Nunca tanto se escapó de mi control
Pero todo en este mundo es temporal
Lo eres tú y lo soy yo
Nunca me sentí tan fuera de lugar
Nunca tanto se escapó de mi control
Pero todo en este mundo es temporal
Y en eso no decido yo
Lo hecho está hecho
Volvi a tropezar con la misma piedra que hubo siempre
Se siente tan bien todo lo que hace mal
Y contigo nunca es suficiente
Se siente tan bien todo lo que hace mal
Eh eh eh eh
Ah ah ah ah
Eh eh eh eh
Ah ah ah ah
The first verse of Shakira's song Lo Hecho Está Hecho takes us to a hotel room, specifically room 16, where a dangerous and passionate encounter is happening. The lyrics suggest that what starts in that room never really ends, and that the singer is in bad company, perhaps with someone they know they shouldn't be with. The second verse adds some context to the situation, revealing that the attraction is fueled by a toxic mix of "sulfur mixed with honey" - a combination of sweetness and danger that is hard to resist. The singer admits to feeling the danger, but also feeling exhilarated enough to "go for a walk on the wild side".
However, there is a sense of regret in the lyrics as well. The chorus repeats the phrase "Lo hecho está hecho" - what's done is done - suggesting a sense of finality and acceptance of the consequences that come with making the same mistake again and again. The singer has "tripped over the same stone as always", and while they acknowledge that it feels good to do something wrong, they also know that it's never enough with this person. There is a cycle of desire and disappointment that seems to play out repeatedly.
The bridge introduces a new layer of reflection to the song. The singer admits to feeling like they are out of place, as if they have lost control of their own life. They seem to be acknowledging that what they are doing is not sustainable, and that nothing is permanent - not the passion they feel, not the mistakes they make, not the people they are with. In the end, they have to accept that they don't have all the power in their own life, as evidenced by the phrase "and in that, I don't decide".
