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

SONG MEANING

Lo Hecho Está Hecho ("What's Done Is Done") drops us straight into a forbidden late-night rendezvous: a hotel suite, a minibar raid, and chemistry that tastes like sulfur mixed with honey. Shakira paints a vivid picture of irresistible temptation, where danger feels delicious and rules melt away. The song’s pop-rock pulse mirrors the singer’s adrenaline as she walks "on the wild side," fully aware she’s stepping into trouble yet unable to resist the thrill.

Behind the sultry storytelling lies a message many of us know too well: repeating the same romantic mistakes, even when we can see the red flags waving. Shakira playfully owns her pattern of stumbling over the "same old stone," capturing the push-and-pull of desire versus judgment. Still, she finds liberation in accepting that everything — the pleasure, the regret, even the relationship itself — is temporary. The result is a bold anthem about embracing imperfect choices, dancing through the consequences, and recognizing that what’s done… is done.
