Verse 1
I run out of arguments
And the methodology
Every time that it appears
In front of me your anatomy
Because this love doesn't understand anymore
Advice nor reasoning
It feeds on excuses
And it lacks courage
Lit: And it's missing pants
Prochorus 1
This love doesn't allow me to stay standing
Because it has even broken my heels
And even if I get up, I'll fall again
If you get close nothing is useful for this useless
If you get close nothing is useful for this useless (person / me)
Chorus 1
Stupid, blind, deaf-mute, clumsy, awkward, stubborn
It's all that I've been
Because of you I've become
In a thing that doesn't do anything more than loving you
Or: In something that does nothing other than love you
I think of you day and night
And I don't know how to forget you
Verse 2
How many times I've tried
To bury you in my memory
And even if I say no more
It's the same story again
Because this love always knows
How to make me breathe deeply
It already brings me to the left
And fighting with the world
Prechorus 2
If I could exorcise myself from your voice
If I could escape from your name
If I could tear out my heart
And hide to not feel again
Or: And hide so as not to feel again
Chorus 2
Stupid, blind, deaf-mute, clumsy, awkward, stubborn
It's all that I've been
Because of you I've become
In a thing that doesn't do anything more than loving you
I think of you day and night
And I don't know how to forget you
Verse 3
Baggy-eyed, skinny, ugly, disheveled
Clumsy, dumb, slow, foolish, deranged
Completely out of control
You realize it and don't tell me anything
You see that my head has become a nest
Where only you have asylum
And you don't listen to what I say
Look carefully at what you're going to do with me
Chorus 3
Stupid, blind, deaf-mute, clumsy, awkward, stubborn
It's all that I've been
Because of you I've become
In a thing that doesn't do anything more than loving you
I think of you day and night
And I don't know how to forget you
Chorus 4
Stupid, blind, deaf-mute, clumsy, awkward, stubborn
It's all that I've been
Because of you I've become
In a thing that doesn't do anything more than loving you
I think of you day and night
And I don't know how to forget you
Stupid, blind, deaf-mute, clumsy, awkward, stubborn
It's all that I've been
Because of you I've become
In a thing that doesn't do anything more than loving you
I think of you day and night
And I don't know how to forget you
Stupid, blind, deaf-mute

SONG MEANING

Ciega, Sordomuda is Shakira’s fiery confession of being helplessly, almost comically, in love. With her trademark mix of wit and vulnerability, the Colombian superstar lists a whirlwind of flaws—“bruta, ciega, sordomuda” (foolish, blind, and mute)—to show how love can strip us of logic, pride, and even common sense. Each verse piles on vivid images of obsession: broken heels from running back, sleepless nights filled with a single name, and a mind that has become a one-person sanctuary. The pounding pop-rock beat mirrors the rush of emotions, while the playful wordplay lets listeners laugh at the drama they secretly know too well.

At its heart, the song is a humorous take on the universal struggle between head and heart. Reason offers advice, but passion refuses to listen, feeding on flimsy excuses and dragging the singer into the same romantic loop again and again. Shakira’s exaggerated self-portraits—dark-eyed, skinny, disheveled—celebrate how messy love can be, yet her voice bursts with empowerment, turning personal chaos into an anthem for anyone who has ever felt ridiculous for loving too much.
