Verse 1
First of all, I thank you for what we lived
Please, let me speak, don't interrupt me, I ask you
What happened between us, it's over, and it didn't make sense
And if you were confused, now I feel the same
Chorus 1
Surely with time you'll regret
And someday you'll want to knock again on my door
But now
I've decided to be alone
I lost my love halfway
How did you get tired of something so genuine?
Don't try to convince me, I ask you
Because it's already decided, we have what we learned
Verse 2
You wanted to go out and I wanted to stay with you at home
You conquer the world and I just wanted to have you
Not even your friends matched mine
It was easier to mix water and oil
You say that I made you feel like nothing ever was enough for me
And that for me everything was little, insufficient
So you left and left a gap here in my bed
Time passes and I can't get you out of my mind
Chorus 2
Surely with time I'll regret
And someday I'll want to knock again on your door
But now
I must learn to be alone
We lost our love halfway
How did you get tired of something so genuine?
Don't try to convince me, I ask you
Because it's already decided, we have what we learned
Our love broke halfway
How did you get tired of something so genuine?
Don't try to convince me, I ask you
Because it's already decided, we have what we learned

SONG MEANING

“Última” feels like Shakira’s heartfelt final conversation with a former love. She opens by thanking him for what they lived, but quickly moves into a clear-eyed recap of why it fell apart: mismatched dreams, clashing friend groups, and the creeping sense that one partner always wanted more while the other longed for the comfort of home. Over a catchy pop groove, Shakira owns her confusion and pain yet refuses to be talked into another round. Both lovers may one day knock on each other’s doors again, but right now she chooses solitude so the two can keep only what they learned from the journey.

The chorus lands like a bittersweet mantra: love was lost halfway down the road, and that loss still shocks her because it was “tan genuino” – so genuine. By repeating that question, she turns private heartbreak into a universal reflection on how even real, deep connections can fade when life paths diverge. “Última” is at once a goodbye, a self pep-talk, and a reminder that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is walk away, pockets full of lessons, ready to protect your heart until it beats freely again.
