“En Tus Pupilas” is Shakira’s heartfelt celebration of a love so powerful it reshapes her entire worldview. Switching playfully between Spanish and French, the Colombian superstar sings that when she’s held in her lover’s arms and looks into their eyes, she literally sees proof that God exists. Before this relationship, life felt flat and disappointing – she jokes that even Galileo would have insisted the world was round, yet to her it seemed two-dimensional. After kissing one frog too many, she had nearly given up on fairy-tale endings, only to discover that real love can arrive without roses or perfect polish, full of charming flaws that still stand tall.
The song overflows with vivid memories: the curve of her partner’s lips, the scent of their hair, the color of their skin. These details form a treasure chest of moments that outshine anything else she has lived. Shakira insists she will not “resign herself” to losing this person, calling them the best thing that has ever happened to her, somewhere between the ordinary and the divine. Every time she gazes into those pupils, her faith is renewed, and the presence of something higher comes alive again. In short, this is an exhilarating ode to love as a spiritual awakening, reminding us that the right pair of eyes can make the whole universe sparkle.
