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

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.
