Fijate Bien Lyrics in English Juanes

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Fijate Bien by Juanes from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
They've taken what you have
They've stolen your daily bread
Verse 1
They've driven you from your lands
And it doesn't seem that it ends here
Verse 1
Stripped of your home
You wander aimlessly in the city
Verse 1
You're the child of nothing
You're the life that leaves
Chorus 1
They're the kids, they're the old
They're the mothers, we're all
Walking
Chorus 1
And don't forget this, no, no, no
Watch carefully where you step
Watch when you walk
Don't let it be that a mine
Blows your feet apart, love
Watch carefully where you step
Watch when you walk
Don't let it be that a mine
Blows your feet apart
Verse 2
I no longer know who's the owner
Of your life and of mine
Verse 2
I only know that there's a tale
That doesn't seem that it ends here
And like they say in the papers
And like they say on TV
And like they say on the radio
That doesn't seem that it ends here
Chorus 2
They're the kids, they're the old
They're the mothers, we're all
Walking
Chorus 2
And don't forget this, no, no, no
Watch carefully where you step
Watch when you walk
Don't let it be that a mine
Blows your feet apart, love
Watch carefully where you step
Watch when you walk
Don't let it be that a mine
Blows your feet apart, please
Watch carefully where you step
Watch when you walk
Don't let it be that a mine
Blows your feet apart, love
Watch carefully where you step
Watch when you walk
Don't let it be that a mine
Blows your feet apart, love
Watch carefully where you step
Watch when you walk
Don't let it be that a mine
Blows your feet apart, love
Outro
Because they aren't going to look for you
And they aren't going to save you
And they won't go, they won't go, no, no
And you aren't going to believe it

SONG MEANING

Imagine having to look down at the ground every few seconds, afraid that the next step could change your life forever. In “Fíjate Bien” Juanes paints that tense reality with urgent guitars and passionate vocals, describing people who have been pushed off their land, stripped of their homes, and forced to wander a city that barely notices them. The verses mention children, elders, and mothers to show that everyone is affected by violence and displacement.

The catchy chorus — “Fíjate bien donde pisas” (“Watch carefully where you step”) — is both a literal warning about hidden land mines and a metaphor for staying alert in a world full of unseen dangers. By repeating the plea, Juanes reminds listeners that governments or authorities may not come to the rescue, so communities must protect one another. The song turns a heavy social message into an energetic anthem, making you tap your foot while thinking hard about the price of conflict.
