Verse 1

Today is one of those days

When I look towards the sky

Trying to decipher who you are

From time to time far away

And from time to time nearby

Sometimes rising and sometimes falling, and I

When you come near me, I can't control my actions

I feel like here I go

From hating you, to loving you from beginning to end

Looking for a little bit of love

Verse 2

There are things in life

Where you can't find a way out

And before your eyes, the curtain closes

And you cover the mouth

Of the volcano that becomes lava

That has been for a thousand years here inside, and I

Weaving nets to see if I can catch you

And here I go

Straining the putty in the middle of this deadly tropic

Verse 3

And here I go

Weaving nets to see if I can catch you

And here I am

Straining the putty in the middle of this deadly tropic

All for a little bit of love

Looking for a little bit of love

Looking for some love

SONG MEANING

“Un Poco De Amor” is Shakira’s sun-soaked invitation to chase that spark of affection wherever it may hide. Mixing Spanish lyrics with Caribbean-flavored English chants, she turns the song into a global road trip—name-checking Dublin, Kingston, Panamá, Medellín, and more—while reggae guitars and playful beats keep the journey bouncing. The verses reveal her emotional roller-coaster: some days she feels sky-high, other days she crashes, yet the desire for even a little bit of love keeps her moving. Her imagery of weaving nets and plugging volcanoes shows both the tenderness and the urgency of wanting someone close.

In the chorus, Shakira widens the lens from personal longing to collective hope. “Rock it out and rock it in,” she urges, as if love were a rhythm the entire world can dance to. By calling for unity and “saying goodbye to the world’s segregation,” she reminds us that—despite distance, doubt, or cultural borders—we are all searching for the same simple thing. Packed with positive vibes, the song celebrates how music can dissolve barriers and turn the quest for connection into a joyous, border-hopping party.
