Verse 1
My days without you are so dark
So long, so gray
My days without you
My days without you are so absurd
So bitter, so hard
My days without you
My days without you don't have nights
If one appears
It's useless to sleep
My days without you are a waste
The hours don't have a beginning or end
Chorus 1
So lacking in air
So full of nothing
Useless junk
Trash on the floor
Flies in the house
Verse 2
My days without you are like a sky
Without silver moons
Or traces of sun
My days without you are just an echo
That always repeats
The same song
Chorus 2
So lacking in air
So full of nothing
Useless junk
Trash on the floor
Flies in the house
Verse 3
Kicking the stones
I'm still waiting for you to come back to me
I'm still searching in the faces of the elderly
Pieces of a child
Hunting for reasons that make me believe
That I'm still alive
Or: That I still can find life in me
Biting my nails
Drowning in tears
Missing you so much
Outro
My days without you
My days without you
My days without you
How the days without you hurt

SONG MEANING

Shakira, the proudly Colombian pop icon, opens a window into raw heartache with “Moscas En La Casa.” In this song, every day without her loved one feels colorless and heavy: the sky loses its moon and sun, hours blur together, and useless junk piles up while flies buzz in the silent rooms. These vivid images turn an empty house into a powerful symbol of her inner emptiness.

Yet beneath the melancholy there is a pulse of hope. Shakira confesses that she is still waiting, still searching familiar faces for a trace of the childlike joy love once gave her. By mixing everyday details—bitten nails, kicked stones—with grand, poetic comparisons, she reminds us how absence can make the simplest moments feel endless. “Moscas En La Casa” is a beautifully bittersweet anthem about longing, showing how even the quietest spaces can echo loudly when someone you love is gone.
