Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We could both make fun of distance
Lucky that I love a foreign land for
The lucky fact of your existence
Baby I would climb the Andes solely
To count the freckles on your body
Never could imagine there were only
Ten million ways to love somebody
Le ro lo le lo le
Le ro lo le lo le
Can't you see
I'm at your feet
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal, my dear
Thereover, hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal, my dear
Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
To run for cover when I need it
And these two eyes that for no other
The day you leave will cry a river
Le ro lo le lo le
Le ro lo le lo le
At your feet
I'm at your feet
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal, my dear
Thereover, hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal, my dear
Le ro lo le lo le
Le ro lo le lo le
Think out loud
Say it again
Le ro lo le lo le lo le
Tell me one more time
That you'll live
Lost in my eyes
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal, my dear
Thereover, hereunder
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal, my dear
Thereover, hereunder
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel
The lyrics to Shakira's "Whenever Wherever" are about the universality of love and how it transcends all boundaries, including distance and cultural differences. The first verse talks about how lucky it is that the singer and the person she loves were born far away from each other so that they can make fun of distance and appreciate each other's existence. The second verse speaks about how she would go to great lengths to be with this person, including climbing the Andes just to count the freckles on their body. The chorus asserts that they are meant to be together, no matter where they are, and that they can always play it by ear. She goes on to declare her love for the person, saying that her lips spill kisses like a fountain and that she is grateful that her breasts are small and humble so that he won't confuse them with mountains. She also talks about her strong legs and eyes while making sure that he knows that he has her heart and that whenever he needs her, she'll be there.
