Undemeath Your Clothes
Shakira Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're a song written by the hands of God
Don't get me wrong 'cause this might sound to you a bit odd
But you own the place where all my thoughts go hiding
Right under your clothes, is where I find them

Underneath your clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey

'Cause of you, I forgot the smart ways to lie
Because of you, I'm running out of reasons to cry
When the friends are gone, when the party's over
We will still belong to each other

Underneath your clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey

Underneath your clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl
For being such a, hey

I love you more than all that's on the planet
Movin', talkin', walkin', breathin'
You know it's true
Oh baby it's so funny almost don't believe it

As every voice is hangin' from the silence
Lamps are hangin' from the ceilin'
Like a lady tied to her manners
I'm tied up to this feeling

Underneath your clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey

Underneath your clothes
Whoa
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve




For being such a good girl
For being such a good girl

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Shakira's song "Underneath Your Clothes" express deep love, trust, and intimacy between the singer and the person she loves. The opening lines assert that the loved one is like a song written by God himself, and that all the singer's thoughts hide within them. The idea that someone else can hold all of your thoughts is a powerful one, and the image of those thoughts being hidden "underneath your clothes" emphasizes the idea of closeness and physical intimacy.


The chorus repeats the metaphor of an "endless story" beneath the loved one's clothes and asserts that the person is the singer's territory. This territorial language could connote possessiveness, but in this context it feels more like the language of love, suggesting that the singer's partner is her other half, her safe space, and the one who makes her whole. The singer also claims that she deserves all good things for being a "good girl," although the slightly archaic phrasing could open up some interpretation.


The second verse emphasizes the transformative power of this love: the singer no longer feels the need to lie or to cry because of the validation and love she gets from her partner. They belong to each other, even beyond the party and the friends. The third verse reiterates the power and depth of the singer's love - it's more than anything tangible on the planet.


Overall, the lyrics of "Underneath Your Clothes" are beautiful in their imagery, their passion, and their openness to vulnerability. The song expresses a deep sense of love, trust, and intimacy that can be incredibly empowering and transformative.


Line by Line Meaning

You're a song written by the hands of God
I believe that you are so perfect that you were created by a higher power, like a song written by God Himself.


Don't get me wrong 'cause this might sound to you a bit odd
I hope you don't misunderstand me when I say this, because I know it might sound strange to you.


But you own the place where all my thoughts go hiding
Your presence makes me so comfortable that I can reveal my deepest thoughts to you without fear of judgment or criticism.


Right under your clothes, is where I find them
I feel such a close emotional connection to you that even your physical body seems to hold a special place in my heart and mind.


Underneath your clothes There's an endless story There's the man I chose There's my territory And all the things I deserve For being such a good girl honey
Your body represents so much to me - not just a physical form, but a unique and powerful story of life that belongs to me, the man I love and have chosen to be with, and all the sweet rewards I receive for being a loyal and loving partner to you.


'Cause of you, I forgot the smart ways to lie
Your love has made me so honest and transparent that I can't even remember how to be deceitful or manipulative like I used to be.


Because of you, I'm running out of reasons to cry
Your love is so comforting and supportive that it makes it hard for me to feel sad or depressed - you make every day brighter just by being in my life.


When the friends are gone, when the party's over We will still belong to each other
Even when the excitement of socializing and partying is over, we will still remain together, because our love is deeper and more meaningful than any fleeting pleasure or temporary attraction.


I love you more than all that's on the planet Movin', talkin', walkin', breathin' You know it's true Oh baby it's so funny almost don't believe it
My love for you is the greatest thing in the world - greater than all the activity and energy of life, greater than anything else that exists. It's almost hard to believe how strong and real it is.


As every voice is hangin' from the silence Lamps are hangin' from the ceilin' Like a lady tied to her manners I'm tied up to this feeling
Everything else in the world fades away and disappears when I'm with you - all I can feel is the depth and intensity of my love for you, which holds me captive and makes me feel like a lady bound by her own strict code of behavior.


Underneath your clothes There's an endless story There's the man I chose There's my territory And all the things I deserve For being such a good girl honey
Once again, your body represents so much to me - a rich history of life, a man I've chosen to love and be devoted to, and all the rewards and blessings I deserve for being a good and faithful partner to you.


Underneath your clothes Whoa There's the man I chose There's my territory And all the things I deserve For being such a good girl For being such a good girl
I want to emphasize just how much your body means to me - it's not just a physical form, but a representation of our shared love and all the wonderful things that come with it. And I feel so proud of myself for being such a loving and devoted partner to you.

You're a song
Written by the hands of god
Don't get me wrong cause
This might sound to you a bit odd
But you own the place
Where all my thoughts go hiding
And right under your clothes
Is where I find them

Underneath Your Clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey

Because of you
I forgot the smart ways to lie
Because of you
I'm running out of reasons to cry
When the friends are gone
When the party's over
We will still belong to each other

Underneath Your Clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey

I love you more than all that's on the planet
Movin' talkin' walkin' breathing
You know it's true
Oh baby it's so funny
You almost don't believe it
As every voice is hanging from the silence
Lamps are hanging from the celing
Like a lady tied to her manners
I'm tied up to this feeling

Underneath Your Clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey

Buenas noches, las respuestas que le hace al entrevistador, es una indirecta que la cantante le hace a Alejandro Sanz, después que este le envío la canción Amiga Mía,

por sonar en la canción "INDISCRETO", por la otra dedicación "Aquello que me diste", y quiere que Alejandro Sanz se arrepienta (del envío de éstas canciones ), comparándolo con "Aito de La Rúa", y pongo comillas porque buscaba que Alejandro se retractara y se comparara con Gustavo Cerati , Gustavo Cerati la indiferenció ☹️.

Y Alejandro Sanz terminó idealizando a ésta cantante. 😞...
Es que Al .Sanz le dedicó (consumió como cada persona eso que canta sobre ...la potencia de "su"voz..., los pies con que camina...), pero es porque ella estaba otra vez mintiendo con hacerse pasar por Mary Jane, es decir, por Alanis Morissette https://youtu.be/HYHx5NlUlZk , no solo por la "fogosidad de la odalisca 🐖".

•¿ ! Confesará esta cantante haberse dedicado a ROBARLE y PLAGGEARLE TODO hasta los VIDEOS a ALANIS MORISSETTE ! ? (Se sonrió, y dijo "Donde están los ladrones").


Considera que ganar en la vida, consiste en Robar y Mentirle a la gente.
Ya como actríz le iba mal, y no triunfaba, como cantante nadie le compraba nada, hasta que en 1995, Alanis Morissette hace Disco Platino con en Álbum Jagged Little Pill, https://youtu.be/Jne9t8sHpUc y la Canción Ironic, y desde tal año, la de Barranquilla mezcló a "Marimar", la descalza de la playa de Barranquilla,

con su "idea de plaggear cada canción a Alanis Morissette.💰🎶💰🎶💰https://youtu.be/GFW-WfuX2Dk
Desde entonces le llama "Suerte", a todo en la Vida, y suena bastante ENGAÑOSA y es por seguir con mentiras respecto a la denominación "descalza".
I hope You Will Know about this "Star''.👎


No es lo mismo,"...pata pila en la playa...
A Descalza, mujeres transparentes como María Carey. A quién también le robó.✓ (Video Original https://youtu.be/7hohL24K0Cg

Empezó, además una Guerra de "Autenticidad", en contra de una imitadora de Freddie Mercury, y envío vídeos de una millonaria inversión en una Auto-Victimización desde el año 2005, en donde imita peor a Alanis Morissette, respecto a la canción Mary Jane de Alanis.

Desde allí se enojó por ser Alejandro Sanz, a quién había "indiferenciado", el que estaba dispuesto a mentir por "Amor" a esta cantante. Y enviaron en su interminable Guerra, "Fijación Oral". Todavía espera las disculpas Amy Lee, 🧐 a quién también le sacó hasta el vestido en el año 2006.https://youtu.be/5anLPw0Efmo

1995 Jagged Little Pill: ALANIS MORISSETTE:
... What's the matter Mary Jane, yooooooooouuuuuuuurrrrr, voice...🎶🎵🎼🤸✍️🎶❤️
1998 ALEJANDRO SANZ:
... ojalá pudiera mandar en el alma...
...llenarte LOS BOLSILLOS-ella- de guerras ganadas...
...tu piensas que estoy dando las noticias...
...Amiga mía..
.-

María Carey es la ANTÍTESIS de ésta artista ridícula.
Y Shhakira le roba bastante en los últimos 15 años. https://youtu.be/5j3WB2y4bI8 (Simplemente, loooovely❤️❤️❤️💕❤️💞❤️!

Es grave que aconseja llamarle SUERTE, a toda esa horrible forma de mal Obrar. Aquí se vé clarito además a qué más le llama "suerte"

@Celebritiesstory-_life123

Translation to Spanish
Eres una canción
Escrito por las manos de Dios
No me malinterpretes
Esto puede sonar un poco extraño para ti
Pero tú eres el dueño del lugar
Donde todos mis pensamientos se esconden
Y justo debajo de tu ropa
Es donde los encuentro

Debajo de tu ropa
Hay una historia interminable
Ahí está el hombre que elegí
Ahí está mi territorio
Y todas las cosas que merezco
Por ser una chica tan buena, cariño

Por tu culpa
Olvidé las formas inteligentes de mentir
Por tu culpa
Me estoy quedando sin razones para llorar
Cuando los amigos se hayan ido
Cuando termine la fiesta
Todavía nos perteneceremos el uno al otro

Debajo de tu ropa
Hay una historia interminable
Ahí está el hombre que elegí
Ahí está mi territorio
Y todas las cosas que merezco
Por ser una chica tan buena, cariño

Te amo más que todo lo que hay en el planeta
Movin 'hablando' caminando 'respirando
Sabes que es verdad
Oh nena, es tan gracioso
Casi no lo crees
Como cada voz cuelga del silencio
Lámparas cuelgan del techo
Como una dama atada a sus buenos modales
Estoy atado a este sentimiento

Debajo de tu ropa
Hay una historia interminable
Ahí está el hombre que elegí
Ahí está mi territorio
Y todas las cosas que merezco
Por ser una chica tan buena, cariño
