Verse 1
Let's clarify because it's getting dark
Let's stop already the foolishness
We leave - already - of - stupid things
We've been fighting for a couple of months
And I've already told you many times
I try to start a conversation
But you don't give me even a bit of your attention
You always want to do what you want
You want - always - to do - it - that - you - it gives - the - desire
But you want to fix everything in bed
Chorus 1
But don't think that, babe
I like it
Me gusta translates directly as 'it pleases me'
When I have you as God brought you into the world, naked
Where did so much evil and so much sexiness come from?
From - where - came out - so much - evil - and - so much - greatness
I like it
What you tell me, but I know that they're excuses
There's no doubt
You say that you love me but I feel that you use me
Verse 2
And it's that the problems are resolved in the bed
And - it's - that - in - the - bed - are resolved - the - problems
But perfect love only is seen in novels
And when I talk to another, you complain to me
But you alone are who pushes me away
You don't measure your words and you hurt me
And if you leave me and you go, it's because you want to
It's not fair anymore that you sweeten my ear
So that in the end you don't fulfil anything with me
Chorus 2
But don't think that, babe
I like it
When I have you as God brought you into the world, naked
Where did so much evil and so much sexiness come from?
Ricura technically comes from the word rich, meaning rich or great. It can also mean sweetness or sexiness
I like it
What you tell me, but I know that they're excuses
There's no doubt
You say that you love me but I feel that you use me
Verse 3
Before you filled the house with roses
And now it just lives full of your things
You wore perfume when I went to visit you
And now you don't even buy a razor to shave
You took me to dinner, then to cinema and to dance
You bought me so much that your card was going to explode
Tarjeta means a debit card / credit card. This is useful vocabulary for tourist visits
And now you spend time on the street
And here with me you forget the details
Outro
I never want to lose you
Do your part, my love
Let's talk about it for both of us
I never want to lose you
Do your part, my love
Let's talk about it for both of us

SONG MEANING

“Me Gusta” splashes bright, tropical reggaeton colors on a not-so-perfect love story. Shakira and Puerto Rican star Anuel AA play a couple who has slipped from roses and candlelit dates into endless arguments. They still share fiery chemistry - “en la cama se resuelven los problemas” - but every time the lights come on, the same issues reappear: careless words, fading effort, and the nagging feeling of being used.

Behind the catchy beat, the lyrics paint a tug-of-war between passion and resentment. Shakira calls out the lost romance (no more dinners, no more perfume) while Anuel insists that the spark is still alive. Together they show that true love needs more than bedroom quick fixes; it needs communication, respect, and equal effort. The song is a rhythmic reminder that if you want the “me gusta” moments to last, you have to talk, listen, and keep the details alive.
