Tu Boca Lyrics in English Shakira

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tu Boca by Shakira from Spanish to English.
Something floats
In the air
Like a premonition
You know that your mouth
Is the destiny of my skin
And my other religion
That and so much
Give me a sign
The waiting devours me, don't quench my thirst
With seawater
That which doesn't do good
Can only do harm
Your mouth knows it
Thing it touches
Thing that burns
You ask so much of me
That it's impossible
To avoid the temptation
You are a thing
Irresistible
And your mouth my addiction
That and so much
I'll let myself burn
By the fire in your laugh
Hearing the sound of your breathing
That which doesn't do good
Can only do harm
Your mouth knows it
Thing it touches
Thing that burns
It's nobody's fault
Thing it touches
Thing that burns
Your mouth knows it
Thing it touches
Thing that burns
It's nobody's fault
Thing it touches
Thing that burns

SONG MEANING

“Tu Boca” is Shakira’s playful confession of an attraction so intense it feels almost supernatural. From the very first line, something mysterious floats in the air like a premonition, warning that the singer’s destiny is sealed by her lover’s lips. She calls that mouth her “other religion,” highlighting how kisses become both sacred ritual and irresistible addiction. Every touch is compared to fire — cosa que toca, cosa que arde — and ordinary water “from the sea” cannot quench the thirst this passion creates.

The song dances between pleasure and danger, suggesting that what does not do good “can only do harm,” yet Shakira willingly surrenders to the heat. The chorus repeats like a hypnotic spell, emphasizing the uncontrollable chemistry that ignites whenever these two meet. Ultimately, “Tu Boca” is an energetic ode to the thrilling moment when desire overpowers reason, turning a simple kiss into a blaze that no one can, or wants to, put out.
