Loca por Ti
Shakira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lo que te llego amar
Y aún no lo borra
Ni la sal de el mar
Permíteme soñar
Que todavía estas aquí
Aun quiero seguir loca por ti
Sigo sola aquí en este parque
Falta todo si faltas tu
Imagino tu cuerpo aquí
Con la luna a contra luz
Me quedare, bebiendo esta copa a tu salud
Se que al amanecer
Mis lagrimas caerán
Y entre la lluvia se confundirán
Déjame continuar
Ebria y soñando aquí
Sabiendo que estoy
Loca por ti
Sigo sola aquí en este parque
Falta todo si faltas tu
Imagino tu cuerpo aquí
Con la luna a contra luz
Me quedare, bebiendo esta copa a tu salud
Sigo sola aquí en este parque
Falta todo si faltas tu
Imagino tu cuerpo aquí
Con la luna a contra luz
Y no me iré, sin antes brindar a tu salud
Me bebo esta copa a tu salud
The lyrics to Shakira's "Loca por Ti" express the intense longing and yearning for a past lover. The song opens with the lines "En la arena escribí, lo que te llego amar" which translates to "In the sand, I wrote what I loved about you." This suggests a romantic setting where the singer and her lover had spent time together, perhaps on a beach vacation. The following lines "Y aún no lo borra, ni la sal de el mar" translate to "And still, the sea's salt water hasn't washed it away." This line further emphasizes the strength of the singer's feelings towards her past lover, as it suggests that not even the powerful forces of nature can erase their memories together.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "Sigo sola aquí en este parque, falta todo si faltas tu, imagino tu cuerpo aquí con la luna a contra luz" which translates to "I'm still alone in this park, everything is missing if you're not here, I imagine your body here with the moon backlighting." These lines express the deep emptiness felt by the singer in the absence of her lover, and the vivid imagery used creates a strong visual of their love floating in the air, as if the singer can see it in the night sky.
The final lines "Me bebo esta copa a tu salud" express the singer's desire to toast to her lover's health, suggesting a final farewell to their love. Overall, "Loca por Ti" is a deeply emotional song about the intensity of past love and the long-lasting memories that remain despite the passage of time.

Le dedico esta canción a mi prometido que hace 6 meses perdió la vida por salvarme en un accidente automovilístico.. 😞 10 años de relación, 5 meses faltaron para nuestra boda y aún sigo enamorada de él, con mi alma destrozada sigo adelante por él.
