To love you I need a reason
And it's hard to believe that there's not another one
Than this love
So much is left over
Inside this heart
That even though they say
That the years are wise
The pain is still felt
Because all the time that I spent next to you
Wove its thread inside me
And I learned to steal seconds from time
You made me see the sky even deeper
Next to you I think I gained more than three kilos
With your many sweet kisses spread around
You developed my sense of smell
And it was because of you that I learned to love cats
You lifted my shoes off the cement
So that we both could escape flying for a while
But you forgot one final instruction
Because I still don't know how to live without your love
And I discovered what a rose means
You taught me to tell white lies
So that I could see you at improper hours
And to replace words with looks
And it was because of you that I wrote more than a hundred songs
And I even forgave your mistakes
And I learned more than a thousand ways to kiss
And it was because of you that I discovered what it is to love
What it is to love
What it is to love
What it is to love
What it is to love

SONG MEANING

Antología is Shakira’s heartfelt scrapbook of first love. The Colombian superstar looks back on a relationship that shaped every sense: taste, smell, sight, touch, even time itself. Line by line she lists the little miracles her partner awakened – from teaching her to savor roses and rescue cats to inspiring more than a hundred songs. Each memory is sweet, playful, and deeply personal, showing how love can color every corner of life.

Yet beneath the warm nostalgia pulses a quiet ache. After celebrating all she gained, Shakira admits she never received the final lesson: how to live without that love. The track balances gratitude and sorrow, reminding us that the same experiences that make love magical also make separation painful. Antología is both a thank-you note and a confession, inviting listeners to treasure their own “firsts” while recognizing the lasting threads they leave in the heart.
