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.
