En Tus Pupilas Lyrics in English Shakira

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song En Tus Pupilas by Shakira from Spanish to English.
Intro
When you, when you hold me in your arms
(French)
When I look into your eyes
(French)
I see that God exists
(French)
It's not hard to believe it
(French)
Before meeting you the world was flat
Even if you dispute it, Mr. Galilei
And I got tired of kissing frogs in vain
But I never found Prince Charming
And then you showed up giving me back my faith
Without poems and without flowers
With flaws, with mistakes but still standing
Chorus 1
And I feel something in you, something between the two of us
That makes me insist
When I look into your pupils I know that God didn't stop existing
And I feel something in you, something between the two of us
That makes me insist
When I look into your pupils I know that God didn't stop existing
You make Him live
You make Him live
Life is a collection of memories
But nothing like your memory either
From the roundness your lips have
To the smell of your hair, to the color of your skin
Don't think that you will leave and I'm going to resign myself
You're the best thing that has happened to me
Between the worldly and the sacred and even more
Chorus 2
And I feel something in you, something between the two of us
That makes me insist
When I look into your pupils I know that God didn't stop existing
And I feel something in you, something between the two of us
That makes me insist
When I look into your pupils I know that God didn't stop existing
You make Him live
You make Him live
Outro
When you, when you hold me in your arms
(French)
When I look into your eyes
(French)
I see that God exists
(French)
It's not hard to believe it
(French)
And I feel something in you
And I feel something in you
And I feel something in you, something in you

SONG MEANING

“En Tus Pupilas” is Shakira’s heartfelt celebration of a love so powerful it reshapes her entire worldview. Switching playfully between Spanish and French, the Colombian superstar sings that when she’s held in her lover’s arms and looks into their eyes, she literally sees proof that God exists. Before this relationship, life felt flat and disappointing – she jokes that even Galileo would have insisted the world was round, yet to her it seemed two-dimensional. After kissing one frog too many, she had nearly given up on fairy-tale endings, only to discover that real love can arrive without roses or perfect polish, full of charming flaws that still stand tall.

The song overflows with vivid memories: the curve of her partner’s lips, the scent of their hair, the color of their skin. These details form a treasure chest of moments that outshine anything else she has lived. Shakira insists she will not “resign herself” to losing this person, calling them the best thing that has ever happened to her, somewhere between the ordinary and the divine. Every time she gazes into those pupils, her faith is renewed, and the presence of something higher comes alive again. In short, this is an exhilarating ode to love as a spiritual awakening, reminding us that the right pair of eyes can make the whole universe sparkle.
