Verse 1
In the sand I wrote
What I came to love about you
And hasn't erased it yet
Not even the salt of the sea
Allow me to dream
That you're still here
I still want to be crazy about you
Chorus 1
I'm still alone here in this bar
Everything is missing if you're missing
I imagine your body here
With the moon backlighting it
I'll stay, drinking this toast to your health
Verse 2
I know that at dawn
My tears will fall
And they'll blend in with the rain
Let me continue
Drunk and dreaming here
Knowing that I'm crazy for you
Chorus 2
I'm still alone here in this bar
Everything is missing if you're missing
I imagine your body here
With the moon backlighting it
I'll stay, drinking this toast to your health
I'm still alone here in this bar
Everything is missing if you're missing
I imagine your body here
With the moon backlighting it
And I won't leave
Without toasting to your health
I drink this toast to your health

SONG MEANING

“Loca Por Ti” paints a vivid picture of a lovesick night where Shakira’s narrator clings to memories that refuse to wash away.

On a moon-lit beach she once traced her devotion in the sand, and even the relentless sea has not erased it. Now she sits alone in a bar, glass in hand, toasting the absent lover whose presence could brighten everything she lacks. Each sip fuels a bittersweet fantasy: she imagines that body beside her, backlit by the moon, while she promises herself one more dream before dawn’s tears mingle with the rain. The chorus repeats her solitary ritual—drinking “a tu salud”—turning the bar into a shrine of nostalgia. This catchy Pop track from Colombian superstar Shakira blends Latin warmth with universal heartache, inviting listeners to sway, sing, and feel just as “loca” for love as she does.
