Intro

I've been a while without seeing you and I'm still here

And not a day passes that I don't think of you

I've been a while without seeing you

Or: I haven't seen you for a while

Tell me if you still love me and remember me

Verse 1

And what has happened to you

A while ago you left, you forgot to call me

Or was it just a mistake?

Did you also forget those moments or do you long for

When we laughed together on the waves?

I who have always believed you my friend

Now I don't know

I feel like you never have been

You've left with your absence a void in me

Chorus 1

I've been a while without seeing you and I'm still here

And not a day passes that I don't think of you

I've been a while without seeing you

Tell me if you still love me and remember me

Verse 2

And your excuse is that you're too busy

But better to speak frankly

Lit: But better to speak with pants removed ;)

Tell me if I perhaps made some mistake

You, who are a man of a certain delicacy

And you never took well my complaints

And I demanded a little more than necessary

But I miss you and I don't think you know how much

Chorus 2

I've been a while without seeing you and I'm still here

And not a day passes that I don't think of you

I've been a while without seeing you

Tell me if you still love me and remember me

Verse 3

In my dreams, I continue imagining that

I still see the sun shining on your skin

And friends ask

If you'll come back to me

And we'll surf together like yesterday

Chorus 3

I've been a while without seeing you and I'm still here

And not a day passes that I don't think of you

I've been a while without seeing you

Tell me if you still love me and remember me

I've been a while without seeing you

SONG MEANING

Get ready to ride an emotional wave! In Tiempo Sin Verte, Colombian pop icon Shakira sings from the lonely shoreline of a stalled relationship. She has spent “tiempo sin verte”—a long time without seeing you—yet her thoughts crash in daily like tides she cannot hold back. She wonders if you still care, or if life’s “busyness” is just a polite cover-up. With playful references to surfing together and laughing over the ocean, the song blends summer memories with the sting of silence, capturing the push-and-pull between fond nostalgia and present-day doubt.

Beneath its catchy pop groove lies a heartfelt confession: Shakira’s narrator feels ghosted by someone she once trusted as a friend, maybe more. She questions her own missteps, calls for honest talk, and confesses that the emptiness you left feels bigger than the sea. It is a bittersweet anthem for anyone who has ever hit “pause” on life while waiting for a call that never comes, all while replaying sun-kissed memories that refuse to fade.
