Verse 1
Where are you, sweetheart?
Yesterday I looked for you
Between the ground and the sky, my heaven
And I didn't find you
I can think
That you run away from me
Because my silence a hunch tells me yes
Where are you, sweetheart?
Come come back for me
Because my life becomes a mess if you're not here
I want to think
That you won't be late
Because there's nobody else on this planet whom I can love
Chorus 1
Where are you, sweetheart?
Yesterday I looked for you
Where are you, sweetheart?
And I didn't find you
Verse 2
Where are you, sweetheart?
You left from here
Oh, searching for who knows what things so far from me
I can think and I keep thinking
That you won't be late
Because on this planet there's nobody else whom I can love
Chorus 2
Where are you, sweetheart?
Yesterday I looked for you
Where are you, sweetheart?
And I didn't find you
Verse 3
I looked for you in the closet
In the alphabet
Underneath the car
In the black, in the white
In the history books
In magazines and on the radio
I looked for you in the streets
Where your mother
Where your mother (is)
In Botero's paintings
Fernando Botero Angulo was a Colombian figurative artist and sculptor
In my purse
In two thousand religions
I looked for you even in my songs
Chorus 3
Where are you, sweetheart?
Yesterday I looked for you
Where are you, sweetheart?
And I didn't find you
Verse 4
I looked for you in the closet
In the alphabet
Underneath the car
In the black, in the white
In the history books
In magazines and on the radio
I looked for you in the streets
Where your mother
In Botero's paintings
In my purse
In two thousand religions
I looked for you even in my songs
I looked for you in the closet
In the alphabet
Underneath the car
In the black, in the white
In the history books

SONG MEANING

¿Dónde estás, corazón? is Shakira’s heartfelt Pop-Rock cry for a love that has suddenly vanished. Over an infectious guitar-driven beat, the Colombian superstar paints the picture of someone wandering between “el suelo y el cielo” (the ground and the sky), feeling life twist into knots without her missing partner. Each chorus repeats the urgent question “Where are you, my heart?”, capturing that mix of panic and determination we feel when the person who anchors us disappears.

What makes the song so vivid is Shakira’s playful yet desperate scavenger hunt. She looks for her lover in every imaginable corner:

  • inside a closet and the alphabet
  • under the car, in black and white
  • history books, radio songs and glossy magazines
  • the streets, her coin purse and even two thousand religions

This whimsical list of hiding places turns heartbreak into an adventure, highlighting both her creativity and her refusal to give up. In the end, Dónde Estás Corazón is a passionate reminder that real love leaves a space nothing else can fill, no matter how far or wide you search.
