Verse 1

These weeks without seeing you

They seemed like years to me

I wanted to kiss you so much

That my lips hurt

Look what fear made us

Do stupid things

It left us deaf and blind

So many times

Chorus 1

And one day after the storm

When you least expect it, the sun comes out

By adding so much, you lose count

Because one and one are not always two

When you least expect it, the sun comes out

Verse 2

I cried for you to the extreme

Of what was possible

When I believed I was

Invincible

There's no evil that lasts a hundred years

Nor a body that endures it

And the best always waits

Ahead

Chorus 2

And one day after the storm

When you least expect it, the sun comes out

By adding so much, you lose count

Because one and one are not always two

When you least expect it, the sun comes out

Chorus 3

And one day after the storm

When you least expect it, the sun comes out

By adding so much, you lose count

Because one and one are not always two

And one day after, and one day after

The sun comes out

Chorus 4

And one day after the storm

When you least expect it, the sun comes out

By adding so much, you lose count

Because one and one are not always two

When you least expect it, the sun comes out

Did you like this lyrics translation?

invencible — invincible

Invencible means "invincible" or "unbeatable". It's a powerful adjective used to describe someone who cannot be conquered or defeated.

In the song, Shakira reflects on a moment of extreme vulnerability, singing "Cuando creía que era invencible" (When I thought I was invincible). She uses this word to contrast her past belief in her own toughness with the painful reality of heartbreak, making it a poignant and relatable moment in her journey towards healing and seeing the sun rise again.

“Sale El Sol” (The Sun Comes Out) is Shakira’s bright Pop-Rock reminder that even the darkest heartbreak has an expiration date. Singing to someone she once feared losing, the Colombian superstar admits how pain, doubt, and “stupid mistakes” left her sorda y ciega—deaf and blind to hope. Yet, just like the sky after a storm, a single moment can change everything: suddenly the clouds part, the lips stop trembling, and the sun peeks through.

With bold guitars and anthemic drums pushing the lyrics forward, Shakira celebrates resilience: no sorrow lasts a hundred years, no body can cry forever, and love does not obey simple math (“uno y uno no siempre son dos”). Her message is clear and energizing: keep going, because when you least expect it, the sun will rise again and something better will be waiting ahead.
