Verse 1
I'm afraid that if
It's about you
Or: If it relates to you
I'm going to repeat
The same mistake as yesterday
And as it's natural
Or: And of course
It usually happens
And there's no blind person worse
Than the one who doesn't want to see
Prechorus 1
Here I am defeated
Almost convinced that trying is useless
And I say, what's happening with me?
Or: And I say, what's wrong with me?
My worst punishment is that wherever you go
You know, you know that I'm going
Chorus 1
I never remember to forget you
I never learned how to let you go
My world spins like this, around you
Or: My world revolves like this, around you
I only remember one part
And I don't remember to forget you
And I don't remember to forget you
Verse 2
I jump off the train
I fall into your trap
And I step again on the stone that I stepped on
And my heart breaks again
And there's no deaf person worse
Than the one who doesn't want to hear
Prechorus 2
I'm here defeated
And almost convinced that there's nobody more foolish
Here than me
I'm dying for your mouth on my mouth
And I try everything everything everything everything and no
Chorus 2
I never remember to forget you
I never learned how to let you go
My world spins like this, around you
I only remember one part
And I don't remember to forget you
Verse 3
I could lie
Kill or die
Even something much worse
Force destiny, lose my way
Just to not lose your love
And everyone tells me not to waste
That time proves them right
The day will arrive
That there will be another in my life
(When) there will be another (man) in my life
Who loves me more and better
Chorus 3
I never remember to forget you
I never learned how to let you go
My world spins like this, around you
I only remember one part
And I don't remember to forget you
My world spins like this, around you
I only remember one part
And I don't remember to forget you

SONG MEANING

Shakira’s "Nunca Me Acuerdo De Olvidarte" is a playful yet painfully honest confession of being caught in an endless loop of love-induced amnesia. The Colombian superstar sings about knowing she is about to trip over the same stone, fall into the same net and let her heart shatter again, but she still dives in headfirst. She admits there is “no one more foolish” than herself, because every attempt to walk away is erased the moment her world starts spinning around that irresistible someone.

The song doubles as an anthem for anyone who has tried all the self-help tricks, listened to friends’ advice and sworn they were done, only to return with the next heartbeat. Shakira’s lyrics flirt with extremes—she would “lie, kill or die” to keep the romance alive—making it clear that obsession can feel both thrilling and torturous. Wrapped in an Alternative groove, the track turns a cycle of heartbreak into a danceable confession, reminding listeners that sometimes the hardest lesson to learn is simply how to forget.
