Verse 1
Tell me what happened to you, why do I notice you cold?
Your kisses don't taste anymore how they tasted
Or: Your kisses no longer taste like they used to
You continue sleeping in my bed, but I feel it empty
Tell me what happened to you, you're not the same as before
It seems that for you this is not important
Or: It seems like this isn't important to you
There are things in life so obvious that it's not even necessary to say
Chorus 1
It's noticeable when one loves, but when one doesn't, it's more noticeable
Before you came without calling, now without warning you leave
It's noticeable when one loves, but when one doesn't, it's more noticeable
You don't need to pretend anymore, if
You put the end in brackets
This can't continue anymore
You put the end in brackets
Verse 2
Your mouth denies what your gaze says
Your hands don't warm up when you touch my skin
That way of kissing doesn't taste like anything
Or: That way of kissing tastes like nothing
The one embracing you is me, but you're thinking about him
Or: I'm the one hugging you, but you're thinking of him
And you already gave up on it
Just be honest, I ask you
I prefer the truth to living with your shared lips
It's hurting me and you don't know how much
Because of you, the room froze
Every word hurts me, I don't think that I'll recover
Chorus 2
It's noticeable when one loves, but when one doesn't, it's more noticeable
Before you came without calling, now without warning you leave
It's noticeable when one loves, but when one doesn't, it's more noticeable
You don't need to pretend anymore, if
You put the end in brackets
This can't continue anymore
You put the end in brackets

SONG MEANING

Shakira teams up with Grupo Frontera to turn a painful breakup into an irresistible pop-regional fusion. In “(Entre Paréntesis)” we step inside a relationship that has gone ice-cold: kisses have lost their flavor, hugs feel empty, and one partner is already day-dreaming about somebody else. The phrase “pusiste el final entre paréntesis” (you put the ending in parentheses) paints a clever picture of love that is technically still on the page, yet everyone can see it is over.

Through catchy melodies and heartfelt Spanish lyrics, the song invites listeners to recognize the unmistakable signs that affection has faded. Shakira’s emotive vocals plead for honesty, while Grupo Frontera’s norteño groove keeps the track lively enough to dance away the tears. It is a bittersweet reminder that, in love, what is unsaid can shout the loudest.
