Verse 1

Lucky that in the south you were born

And that we defy the distance

Or: And that we make fun of the distance

Lucky that I've met you

And because of you love foreign lands

I can climb the Andes only

To count your freckles

Lit: To go and count your moles

With you, I celebrate and suffer everything

My joys and my sorrows

You know that I'm at your feet

Chorus 1

With you, my life, I want to live life

And what's left of my life, I want to live with you

With you, my life, I want to live life

And what's left of my life, I want to live with you

Verse 2

Luck that I have sincere lips

To kiss you with more desire

Luck that my breasts are small

And you don't confuse them with mountains

Luck that I inherited firm legs

Or: Lucky that I inherited strong legs

To run if one day it's necessary

And these two eyes that tell me

That they'll cry when you leave

You know that I'm at your feet

Chorus 2

With you, my life, I want to live life

And what's left of my life, I want to live with you

With you, my life, I want to live life

And what's left of my life, I want to live with you

You know that I'm at your feet

And happiness has your name and your skin

Chorus 3

With you, my life, I want to live life

And what's left of my life, I want to live with you

You already know, my life, I'm up to my neck for you

If you feel something like this

I want you to stay next to me

With you, my life, I want to live life

And what's left of my life, I want to live with you

You already know, my life, I'm up to my neck for you

If you feel something like this

I want you to stay next to me

SONG MEANING

Suerte means luck, and Shakira turns that simple word into a joyful shout-out to the universe for bringing two soulmates together. Over vibrant Andean-pop beats she thanks destiny for everything—from being born in the south of the Americas to having the stamina to climb the Andes just to count her partner’s freckles. Each quirky detail becomes proof that the stars conspired in their favor, shrinking distances and turning “foreign lands” into places worth loving.

Beneath the playful lines lies a big, beating heart of devotion. Shakira promises to celebrate and suffer everything at her lover’s side, ready to laugh, cry, run, and live out the rest of her days with them. It is a fun mix of body-positive humor, romantic exaggeration, and global flair that leaves listeners feeling that, with the right person, life itself is an adventure—and luck is on your side.
