Something

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quend je regarde dans tes yeux, je vois qu'un Dieu existe
C'est pas dur d'y croire
Before I met you I wasn't terribly lucky
Every prince charming lost charm after twelve
But then you came and made the past look so funny
Put my old sadness to sleep on a shelf
If this was meant to be
Don't condemn me to be free
And even if we never marry
I will always love you, baby, childishly
'Cause something, you've got something I can't resist
Things are what they will be when I look into your eyes they say to me
That God still exists
And there's something, you've got something I can't resist
Things are what they will be when I look into your eyes they say to me
That God still exists
You make me believe
You make me believe
I love the temperature and smell of your body
And the shape of your lips and the size of your nose
I love that everything you say is so funny
Plus you're the best kisser that I've ever known
You've seen the way I am
Without makeup, without clothes
And you accept me like nobody
And I will always love you baby
With eyes closed
'Cause something, you've got something I can't resist
Things are what they will be when I look into your eyes they say to me
That God still exists
And there's something, you've got something I can't resist
Things are what they will be when I look into your eyes they say to me
That God still exists
You make me believe
You make me believe
Quand tu, quand tu me prends dans tes bras
Quend je regarde dans tes yeux
Je vois qu'un Dieu existe, c'est pas dur d'y croire
And there's something, I believe
There's something, I believe
There's something
I believe, I do
You make me believe
In this song, Shakira sings about her love for someone who has given her hope and helped her believe in love again. She uses French in the beginning of the song, which translates to "When you, when you take me in your arms, when I look into your eyes, I see that a God exists. It's not hard to believe." This shows the strong emotional connection she has with the person and how their presence makes her believe in a higher power.
She then goes on to say that before meeting this person, she wasn't lucky in love and every prince charming she encountered eventually lost their charm. However, this person made all of her past sadness and disappointment disappear. She expresses her love for their physical features, their sense of humor, and how they accept her for who she is.
The chorus repeats the phrase "something you've got something I can't resist" and how looking into their eyes confirms the existence of God. Shakira believes in the power and magic of their love, and that it was meant to be. She ends the song by stating that this person has made her believe in love again.
