Fasten your seatbelt, because Shakira takes us on a whirlwind trip across the globe, sprinkling Spanish and Arabic along the way! In “Ojos Así” the Colombian superstar sings about crossing deserts, seas and even the ends of the earth, only to discover that nothing compares to one unforgettable pair of black eyes. From Bahrain to Beirut, from the North all the way to the South Pole, every dazzling sight fades when she remembers that gaze.
At its heart, the song is a passionate love anthem and a celebration of Shakira’s mixed heritage. The Arabic chorus is a plea to the heavens, asking God to answer her call and let her “live in those eyes.” The fusion of Middle-Eastern melodies with pop-rock guitars mirrors the lyric’s message: no matter how far we travel or how many wonders we see, the most powerful universe can exist inside someone else’s eyes.
