Verse 1

These weeks without seeing you

They seemed like years to me

I wanted to kiss you so much

That my lips hurt

Look what fear made us

Do stupid things

It left us deaf and blind

So many times

Chorus 1

And one day after the storm

When you least expect it, the sun comes out

By adding so much, you lose count

Because one and one are not always two

When you least expect it, the sun comes out

Verse 2

I cried for you to the extreme

Of what was possible

When I believed I was

Invincible

There's no evil that lasts a hundred years

Nor a body that endures it

And the best always waits

Ahead

Chorus 2

And one day after the storm

When you least expect it, the sun comes out

By adding so much, you lose count

Because one and one are not always two

When you least expect it, the sun comes out

Chorus 3

And one day after the storm

When you least expect it, the sun comes out

By adding so much, you lose count

Because one and one are not always two

And one day after, and one day after

The sun comes out

Chorus 4

And one day after the storm

When you least expect it, the sun comes out

By adding so much, you lose count

Because one and one are not always two

When you least expect it, the sun comes out

Did you like this lyrics translation?

invencible — invincible

Invencible means "invincible" or "unbeatable". It's a powerful adjective used to describe someone who cannot be conquered or defeated.

In the song, Shakira reflects on a moment of extreme vulnerability, singing "Cuando creía que era invencible" (When I thought I was invincible). She uses this word to contrast her past belief in her own toughness with the painful reality of heartbreak, making it a poignant and relatable moment in her journey towards healing and seeing the sun rise again.

Shakira's "Sale El Sol" is a huge burst of optimism after a really tough time. The song starts with some intense feelings of separation, like in the line, "Tanto te quise besar / Que me duelen los labios" (I wanted to kiss you so much / that my lips hurt). It seems fear caused a lot of problems, making the people in the song "sordos y ciegos" (deaf and blind) and leading them to make mistakes.

But the whole point of the song is that this bad time is over. The main idea is right in the chorus: "Y un día después de la tormenta / Cuando menos piensas sale el sol" (And one day after the storm / when you least expect it, the sun comes out). It’s a powerful reminder that things will get better, even when it feels impossible. Shakira uses old sayings to make her point, like "No hay mal que dure cien años" (There's no evil that lasts a hundred years), to say that all bad situations have an end. This is a song for anyone who needs to remember that the best is still to come.
