Pienso En Ti Lyrics in English Shakira

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pienso En Ti by Shakira from Spanish to English.
Every day I think of you
I think a little more of you
I tear my reason apart
Something in me gets destroyed
Every day I think of you
I think a little more of you
Every day I think of you
I think a little more of you
Every time the sun comes up
I look for the courage in something
To keep on like this
And I see you even if I don't touch you
I pray for you every night
Dawn breaks and I think of you
And it echoes in my ears
The tick-tock of the clocks
And I keep thinking of you
And I keep thinking

SONG MEANING

"Pienso En Ti" is Shakira’s tender postcard from the heart, sent long before her global superstardom. In this early ballad, the Colombian singer lets us peek into the whirlwind of first love – that dizzy feeling when one person occupies every corner of your mind. Each new sunrise finds her searching for courage, her thoughts looping like the steady tic-tac of a clock. The simple, haunting melody mirrors the lyrics’ intimacy, making the song feel like a private confession whispered just to the listener.

As the verses repeat “Cada día pienso en ti,” we sense how love can be both sweet and consuming. Shakira breaks her “razón,” hinting that logic crumbles when emotion takes the wheel. She prays at night, clings to memories by day, and hears the ticking clocks as a soundtrack to her longing. It is a beautiful snapshot of devotion: vulnerable, persistent, and deeply human. By the final refrain, we understand that thinking about someone can be an act of hope, keeping the flame alive even in their absence.
