Un Poco de Amor
Shakira Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Roots me again
So come listen to di one
Mi a go' mash up on di plan
Now dis, now dis is a message from di alluland

Hoy es un día de aquellos
En que miro hacia el cielo
Tratando de descifrar el que estés
De vez en cuando lejos
Y de vez en cuando cerca
Unas veces subir y otras caer

Y yo
Cuando tú te me acercas no respondo de mis actos
Siento que aquí voy
De odiarte, a quererte de principio a fin
Buscando un poco de amor

You gotta rock it out and rock it in
From Dublin to Babylon
Buscando un poco de amor
Jump it out and jump it in (ah-ah)
From Kingston to Providenceland
Buscando un poco de amor

Hay cosas en la vida
En que no encuentras salida
Y ante tus ojos se cierra el telón
Y tapas la boquilla
Del volcán que se hace lava
Que hace mil años esta aquí dentro

Y yo
Tejiendo redecillas para ver si puedo atraparte
Y aquí voy
Colando la masilla en medio de este trópico mortal
Roots and creation, come again

So mi guardian, mi guardian mi lift up di plan
Now everybody a go' do dis one
Like in down di Caribbean
San Andrés, Providence Island

Live it up, make it love sensation
Say goodbye to di world's segregation
Dis a di age of di new generation
Lift it up to di high revelation

Y aquí voy
Tejiendo redecillas para ver si puedo atraparte
Y aquí estoy
Colando la masilla en medio de este trópico mortal
Todo por un poco de amo (buscando un poco de amor)

We gotta rock it out and rock it in (hey-yeah)
From Dublin to Babylon
Buscando un poco de amor
Jump it out and jump it in
Jump it out and jump it in (jump it out and jump it in)
From Brasilia to Medellin
Buscando un poco de amor

Rock it out and rock it in (oh, yeah)
From Aruba to Panama
Buscando un poco de amor (por un poquito de tu amor)
Jump it out and jump it in
From Kingston to Providenceland
Buscando un poco de amor (from Kingston to Providenceland)

You gotta rock it out and rock it in (oh-hey)
From Dublin to Babylon
Buscando un poco de amor (por un poquito de tu amor)
Jump it out and jump it in (oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah)
From Brasilia to Medellin
Buscando un poco de amor

Rock it out and rock it in (oh, oh, yeah)
From Aruba to Panama




(Buscando un poco de amor) (por un poquito de tu amor)
We gotta rock it out and rock it in

Overall Meaning

The song "Cazador De Amor" by Shakira is a mix of English and Spanish lyrics that talk about the search for love. In the opening lines, Shakira sings about being rooted again and mash up on the plan, which could be interpreted as her refreshing her perspective and taking a new approach to finding love. She then sends a message from "di alluland" (a fictional place) to encourage listeners to lift up the plan and come together for a love sensation. The chorus continues with Shakira singing about looking up at the sky to decipher if her love interest is near or far, and that despite sometimes hating him, she ultimately wants love.


The rest of the song continues with the theme of seeking love, with Shakira mentioning that sometimes in life we feel like there's no escape, but that we have to keep searching for love. The lyrics express determination to make the most of life despite obstacles and a desire to connect with others. The song ends with Shakira encouraging listeners to rock it out and jump it in from various places around the world in search of love.

Tengo 40 años, y está música me recuerda mi época adolescente, dónde salíamos del colegio en grupo y reproducir el casette de pies descalsos, hermosas canciones, evolucionas te , pero aún disfruto su música
