Verse 1

Had I known that it was going to be the last time

I'd have enjoyed you more, but I didn't take advantage of you

And because of believing that you didn't have an expiration date

I saved kisses for later, I was left with the desire

I would lie if I say that seeing my photos with you doesn't hurt me

Because they hurt

If I don't look for you it's because I also have my pride

Don't think that I don't miss you, because I miss you

Chorus 1

Another night that I spend without seeing you

Another night that I pretend to be strong

I deleted your number, and for what? If I already know it

I erased your number, and why? If I already know it (by heart)

I don't forget you no matter how it seems

Verse 2

I try to forget you, but this she-wolf loses control

I spend time with him and then with your name alone I kill myself

I feel like a caged lioness, it's so hard to stay quiet

You have me with a scratchy head, with a scratchy head

Or: You have my head spinning, my head spinning

If you want I'll show up

Tell me where, when, and how

If you want I'll show up

Tell me where, how

Chorus 2

Another night that I spend without seeing you

Another night that I pretend to be strong

I deleted your number, and for what? If I already know it

I don't forget you no matter how it seems

Verse 3

If you want I'll show up

Tell me where, when, and how

If you want I'll show up

Tell me where, how

Chorus 3

Another night that I spend without seeing you

Another night that I pretend to be strong

I deleted your number, and for what? If I already know it

No matter how it seems

SONG MEANING

La Fuerte brings Shakira’s unmistakable passion together with Bizarrap’s pulsating pop beat to paint a vivid picture of heartbreak that refuses to stay quiet. The narrator looks back at a love she took for granted, admitting she would have savored every moment “si hubiera sabido que iba a ser la última vez.” Now, every night without her ex feels endless as she tries to “hacerse la fuerte” – playing tough, deleting his number, even flirting with someone new – yet her mind keeps roaring like a caged lioness.

Behind the catchy chorus lies a tug-of-war between pride and longing. She wants to reach out (“Dime dónde, cuándo y cómo”), but her ego holds her back, leaving her stuck between desire and dignity. Shakira’s fierce vocals capture that inner conflict, while Bizarrap’s production turns the emotional struggle into an anthem for anyone who has ever tried to act strong while secretly missing someone. Listen closely and you’ll feel both the fire of regret and the unstoppable urge to reconnect – a reminder that even the boldest hearts sometimes break and beg to be mended.
