Verse 1
Yes, it's time to hide
From the world, the pain
Under the skin
But I know that I'll be okay
The girls, like me
They land on their feet
I don't want to gamble my luck for you
I can't live with a small "L"
Small 'V' for vivir, like small 'L' to live
Soon I'll be from here
Very very far
Or: Far, far away
Chorus 1
Oh, I'm leaving again
Oh, I leave you, Madrid
Or: Oh, I'm leaving you, Madrid
Your skin routines and your desire to escape
I don't want cowards who make me suffer
Better I say goodbye to your anise-flavored mouth
Verse 2
Yes, it's time to clean
The stains of honey
On the tablecloth
I never could act
Or: I never knew how to act
And my lips look
Dead from thirst
I don't want to leave everything to chance
I understand that I've started to interfere
Soon I'll be from you
Very very far
Chorus 2
Oh, I'm leaving again
Oh, I leave you, Madrid
Your skin routines and your desire to escape
I don't want cowards who make me suffer
Better I say goodbye to your anise-flavored mouth
Chorus 3
Oh, I'm leaving again
Oh, I leave you, Madrid
Your skin routines and your desire to escape
I don't want cowards who make me suffer
Better I say goodbye to your anise-flavored mouth
Chorus 4
Oh, I'm leaving again
Oh, I leave you, Madrid
Your skin routines and your desire to escape
I don't want cowards who make me suffer
Better I say goodbye to your anise-flavored mouth
Oh, I'm leaving you, Madrid, Madrid
To your anise-flavored mouth
To your anise-flavored mouth

SONG MEANING

¡Prepárate para una despedida vibrante! En “Te Dejo Madrid”, Shakira transforma una ruptura en un himno de libertad. Con guitarras pop-rock y su inconfundible voz, la artista colombiana pinta la escena de alguien que hace las maletas y se marcha antes de que la rutina y el miedo la atrapen. Como un gato que siempre cae de pie, la protagonista decide limpiarse “las manchas de miel” del pasado y decirle adiós a esa “boca de anís” que ya solo trae dolor.

El mensaje es claro: a veces la mejor forma de cuidarse es soltar lo que duele. Entre confesiones de orgullo herido y determinación feroz, Shakira celebra la valentía de poner distancia y empezar de nuevo. El resultado es una canción enérgica que invita a cantar a todo pulmón mientras uno se recuerda que siempre hay un nuevo destino esperándonos, muy, muy lejos…
