Peligro
Shakira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
pelo suelto y bronceador.
Con mi 'Walkman' amarillo,
toalla, arena en mi oído
aire negro, vuelto yo.
Cuando pasas ¿qué se yo? [¡Yo, yo, yo!]
Siento conmoción qué no...
me hago la distraída,
delatando al corazón.
Y me pongo mis 'Jeans'
y corro, corro
no me sigas ¡no, no ,no!
No sé como decaí
en tus ojos
de arenas movedizas,
siento todo.
Y aquí en la cuerda floja
estoy ¡qué horror!
No sé como es que puede
ser tan bello,
tan divertido
un trueno en mi cielo
y miedo será que esto es amor.
Peligro, peligro. [Peligro]

The lyrics of Shakira's song Peligro describe a moment of intense attraction and vulnerability. Shakira paints a vivid picture of lounging in the sun with her hair down, listening to music on her yellow Walkman and feeling carefree. However, this idyllic moment is interrupted when the object of her desire, referred to only as "you," enters the scene. Shakira feels a shock and tries to play it cool by acting distracted, but her heart betrays her. She describes feeling like she's on a tightrope, full of fear and uncertainty.
As the song progresses, Shakira expresses confusion about how she ended up falling for this person who seems to be a thunderstorm in her sky. She feels the danger of being in love, hence the repeated warning of "peligro" or danger. The chorus drives this point home, as Shakira pleads with "you" not to follow her as she runs away from her feelings. Overall, the lyrics of Peligro capture the raw emotion of being swept up in a sudden romantic attraction and the fear that comes with it.

Creería que esta canción podría ser un éxito en el 2020, sería chevere que ella tomara alguna de sus primeras canciones y las relanzará.
