Verse 1

I never thought that love would hurt like this

When it's buried in the middle of a no and yes

It's one day her and another day me

You're leaving me without a heart and with zero reason

Or: You're leaving me heartless and without reason

Chorus 1

I warn you, I announce to you that today I quit

Your dirty business

You know that I'm vaccinated against you

Kick proof

Because of you, I stayed like Mona Lisa

Without tears and without a smile

May heaven and your mother take care of you

I'm leaving

It will be better like this

Verse 2

I know that to forget you isn't a simple matter

You stuck in my body like a knife

But everything that enters must come out

Those who are will have to leave

Starting with me

Chorus 2

I warn you, I announce to you that today I quit

Your dirty business

You know that I'm vaccinated against you

Kick proof

Because of you, I stayed like Mona Lisa

Without tears and without a smile

May heaven and your mother take care of you

I'm leaving

Verse 3

Maybe you're not the one for me

I don't know how to live now

Loving like this

It's so pathetic, neurotic, satirical, psychotic

You don't see it, tango isn't for three

I've been planning to escape and it comes out in reverse

Or: I've been planning my escape and it backfires on me

But I'm going to try again and again, I'm going

Chorus 3

I warn you, I announce to you that today I quit

Your dirty business

Because of you, I stayed like Mona Lisa

Without tears and without a smile

I warn you that I'm vaccinated against you

And I don't care about anything

May heaven and your mother take care of you

I'm leaving it will be better like this

Outro

I'm leaving, I already left

It's better like this

May heaven and your mother take care of you, I'm leaving

It will be better like this

SONG MEANING

In Te Aviso, Te Anuncio (Tango), Shakira turns a breakup into a fiery dance of self-liberation. Over a tango-flavored pop-rock groove, she paints the pain of loving someone who keeps her dangling between yes and no. Each line drips with drama: she feels a knife-sharp wound, ends up as expressionless as the Mona Lisa, and declares herself vaccinated against his dirty tricks. The imagery is vivid, the mood is intense, and the music mirrors that push-and-pull with its swirling, almost theatrical energy.

Yet the core message is pure empowerment. The Colombian superstar finally says Enough!—she resigns from his "business deals", wishes him well with the help of heaven and his mother, and walks away to reclaim her heart. It is a bold reminder that leaving a toxic love might hurt, but staying hurts more. Shakira’s clever wordplay and passionate delivery make the song both a cathartic anthem and a catchy Spanish lesson about self-respect.
