The lyrics to Shakira's song "No Joke" speak of love and heartbreak. The singer asserts that she will never die, implying the strength of her love, and insists that this declaration is no joke. She expresses the pain she feels as her lover leaves with her heart. While she can live without him, she says she'll obey the original and asks a single question, which remains unspoken. She then tells her lover to believe in love as it is no joke, and she's got to learn this. However, the pain of heartbreak continues to weigh on her as she seeks to mend her heart, but her lover never lets her go even as she tries to find a way to move on. In this difficult situation, she has got the love connection with him, but he only asks a single question, which is not revealed in the song. In the end, she declares that she's alright, but it's not her fault that she hasn't been able to let her lover go, who cannot run or hide from her.
The interpretation of the lyrics shows the depth of feeling and emotion that Shakira conveys in her music. It is apparent from the lyrics that she has moved on from a relationship, but the pain lingers on. Even though she's trying to find new ways to deal with it, she admits that it's not easy to forget, and the love that she feels is deep and everlasting. Shakira's energy and conviction make the song a powerful statement on relationships, love and heartbreak.

Me conozco todas las canciones de shakira, de la a a la z. No puedo creer que nunca nunca escuché está canción, ni sabía de su existencia. No sé si sentirme mal por eso o feliz porque tengo una nueva canción para escuchar de ella❤️❤️

Cómo deseo que Shakira sacará algo así, como lo hizo Dua con futura nostalgia, influencias de los 80 y 90 y se deje ya de tanta mamada de regeton, si ella se lo propone puede hacer un tremendo álbum pop/electro/80 y 90 con un poco de rock y onda disco
