Lo Que Más
Shakira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y mis ganas de siempre buscarte
Pedacito de amor delirante
Colgado de tu cuello un sábado de lluvia a la cinco de la tarde
Sabe Dios, cómo me cuesta dejarte
Y te miro mientras duermes, más no voy a despertarte
Es que hoy se me agotó la esperanza
Eres lo que más he querido
En la vida lo que mas he querido
Eres lo que más he querido en la vida
Lo que más he querido
Cuántas veces quise hacerlo bien
Y pequé por hablar demasiado
No saber dónde, cómo, ni cuándo
Todos estos años caminando juntos
Ahora no parecen tanto
Sabe Dios, todo el amor que juramos
Pero hoy nada es lo mismo
Ya no vamos a engañarnos
Es que soy, una mujer en el mundo
Que hizo todo lo que pudo
No te olvides ni un segundo
Que eres lo que más he querido
En la vida lo que más he querido
Eres lo que más he querido en la vida
Lo que más he querido
The lyrics of Shakira's song Lo Que Más speak about the complexities of a relationship that has endured for years, but is now at a point where all hope has almost been lost. The song begins with Shakira reflecting on how many times their modesty and her persistent desire to be with the other person had saved them. She talks about how they have shared a passionate and overwhelming love for each other, and how she once hung on to this love on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Shakira then admits that leaving the other person is an extremely difficult task for her. While the other person is sleeping, she watches them, but does not want to wake them up. However, Shakira has now given up hope, and realizes that the love they once shared is not enough to sustain their relationship anymore.
Moving further, Shakira talks about how she has always wanted to do things right, but often ended up talking too much and making things more complicated. Despite the length of their relationship, Shakira says that time seems to have passed by quickly. She then reflects on the love they had promised each other, but now realizes that nothing is the same anymore, and they cannot deceive themselves any longer. Shakira admits to being just another woman in the world, who tried her best, but now wants the other person to remember that they are what she has loved the most in her life.
Overall, the lyrics of Lo Que Más express the pain of lost love, the passing of time, and the tragic realization that even the most passionate of loves can come to an end.

Hace dos años terminó mi relación con la persona que creí era el amor de mi vida y con el que planeaba el resto de mi vida. Le dediqué esta canción y sentía que me moría. Hoy volví a escucharla para recordarme que sí se sale de esos huecos de dolor, y que si a alguien le sirve leerlo sepa que sí hay vida y amor después del amor.
