Verse 1

In the suite, sixteen

What begins doesn't end

From the mini bar, to Eden

In very bad company

Prechorus 1

It was that taste on your skin

Of sulfur mixed with honey

So I got angry and went for a walk on the wild side

I thought, don't look at me like that

I already know what you want from me

That we don't have to be obvious here

For a bad guy like you, there isn't a body that can handle it

Chorus 1

What's done is done

I stumbled again

With the same stone that was always there

It feels so good, everything that is bad

And with you, it's never enough

Verse 2

How was it? What happened?

That impatient night

They went to call from the reception

When they complained about room seventeen

Prechorus 2

It can't be anything normal

To end up choosing so badly

In matters of men, I'm an expert always repeating my mistakes

Or: When it comes to men, I'm always an expert at repeating my mistakes

There's no worse blindness

Than not wanting to see

When you kept the ring inside your pocket and let it go

Chorus 2

What's done is done

I stumbled again

With the same stone that was always there

It feels so good, everything that is bad

And with you, it's never enough

Verse 3

I never felt so out of place

Never so much slipped out of my control

But everything in this world is temporary

You are, and so am I

I never felt so out of place

Never so much slipped out of my control

But everything in this world is temporary

And I don't decide that

Chorus 3

What's done is done

I stumbled again

With the same stone that was always there

It feels so good, everything that is bad

And with you, it's never enough

It feels so good, everything that is bad

azufre — sulfur

Azufre literally means "sulfur," a chemical element often associated with brimstone and hell. It's a very unusual and dramatic word to find in a pop song, making it instantly memorable.

Shakira uses it to create a powerful metaphor, singing about a taste on the skin of "azufre revuelto con miel" (sulfur mixed with honey). This striking image perfectly captures the song's theme: a dangerous, toxic attraction that is also irresistibly sweet and tempting.

Have you ever made the same mistake twice, knowing full well it was a mistake the first time? That's exactly what Shakira is singing about in this song. She describes a wild night in a hotel room with someone who is definitely bad news, a taste of "azufre revuelto con miel" [sulfur mixed with honey]. She knows what's coming, but decides to take a "caminar por el lado salvaje" [walk on the wild side] anyway. The whole thing gets so out of hand that the people in the next room complain to the hotel reception!

The chorus is a classic Spanish expression: "Lo hecho está hecho / Volví a tropezar / Con la misma piedra que hubo siempre" [What's done is done / I stumbled again / over the same stone that was always there]. She admits she's an expert at repeating her mistakes with men, but she also knows why. It's because "Se siente tan bien todo lo que hace mal" [Everything that's bad feels so good]. It's a fun, self-aware song about giving in to temptation, even when you know you probably shouldn't.
