Un Poco De Amor Lyrics in English by Shakira
Tejiendo redecillas translates to "weaving little nets". It's a beautifully poetic phrase you won't find in many songs.
In the lyrics, Shakira sings, "Tejiendo redecillas para ver si puedo atraparte" (Weaving little nets to see if I can trap you). She uses this vivid metaphor to describe her intricate and delicate attempts to capture someone's affection, like carefully weaving a web to catch her love interest. It's a far more interesting image than simply saying she's trying to win someone over.
Have you ever been in a relationship that feels like a rollercoaster? That's exactly what Shakira is singing about in "Un Poco De Amor." She describes a love that's all over the place: "de vez en cuando lejos / Y de vez en cuando cerca" (sometimes far away / And sometimes close). Her feelings are just as confusing, swinging from one extreme to the other: "De odiarte, a quererte de principio a fin" (From hating you, to loving you from beginning to end). She feels so overwhelmed that she's actively trying to catch this person, admitting she's "Tejiendo redecillas para ver si puedo atraparte" (Weaving little nets to see if I can trap you).
But this isn't just a personal love song. The track has a global message, shouting out cities from "Dublin to Babylon" and "Brasilia to Medellin." The reggae-style vocals call for unity and an end to "di world's segregation." It suggests that this search for connection, this need for "un poco de amor" (a little bit of love), is something that unites everyone, everywhere. It's a powerful reminder that no matter who we are, we're all looking for the same thing.
