Shakira & Bizarrap – La Fuerte (English Translation) Lyrics
[Lyrics to “La Fuerte” – The Strong One]
[Verse 1]
If I had known it would be the last time
I would have enjoyed you more, but I didn’t take advantage of you
And for believing that you had no expiration date
I saved kisses for later, I was left with the desire
I would be lying to you if I said that seeing my photos with you doesn’t hurt me
Because they hurt
If I don’t look for you it’s because I also have my pride
Don’t think that I don’t miss you, because I miss you (Rrr)
[Chorus]
Another night I spend without seeing you
Another night that I act strong
I deleted your number, and for what? Yes I already know
I don’t forget you no matter how much I pretend (that I pretend)
[Verse 2]
I try to forget you, but this she-wolf gets the urge
I hang out with him and then I kill myself in your name alone
I feel like a caged lioness, it’s so hard to stay silent
You have me with a scratchy head, with a scratchy head
[Pre-Chorus]
If you want I’ll show up
Tell me where, when and how
If you want I’ll show up
Tell me where, how
Another night I spend without seeing you
Another night that I act strong (Prr)
I deleted your number, and for what? Yes I already know
I don’t forget you no matter how I much pretend, how much I pretend[Interlude: Shakira]
How much I pretend
[Pre-Chorus]
If you want I’ll look out
Tell me where, when and how
If you want I’ll look out
Tell me where, how
[Chorus]
Another night I spend without seeing you
Another night that I act strong
I deleted your number, and for what? Yes I already know, eh
No matter how much I pretend (How much I pretend)
[Outro]

La Fuerte by Shakira & Bizarrap
“La Fuerte” by Shakira & Bizarrap delves into the emotions of longing, regret, and resilience in the aftermath of a breakup or a lost relationship. Let’s break down the key lyrics and their meanings to understand the overarching themes and messages presented in the song.
In the first verse, the singer expresses regret for not fully appreciating their partner when they had the chance. The lines “De haber sabido que iba a ser la última vez Te hubiera gozado más, pero no te aproveché” talk about missing the opportunity to cherish the moments with their loved one. There’s a sense of remorse for taking things for granted.
The reference to storing kisses for later and being left with unfulfilled desires symbolizes the pain of not being able to express love and affection openly. The lyrics “Guardé besos pa’ despué’, con las ganas me quedé” depict a yearning that remains unfulfilled.
The chorus highlights the struggle to appear strong and move on despite still feeling the emotional weight of the past relationship. The repeated lines “Otra noche más que paso sin verte, Otra noche más que me hago la fuerte” emphasize the internal conflict between wanting to forget and being unable to. The action of deleting the ex-partner’s number, yet still knowing it by heart, symbolizes the difficulty of truly letting go.
The second verse portrays the internal battle of trying to move on while constantly being reminded of the lost love. The mention of feeling like a caged lioness unable to stay silent and the repeated line “con la cabeza rayá'” suggests the overwhelming thoughts and torment caused by lingering feelings.
The pre-chorus and interludes show a willingness to remain open to reconnecting with the ex-partner if they desire. The lines “Si tú quieres yo me asomo, Dime dónde, cuándo y cómo” reflect a willingness to engage despite the pain involved.
The song’s outro by Bizarrap signals the end of the emotional journey presented in the lyrics.
Overall, “La Fuerte” delves into the complexities of heartbreak, resilience, and the struggle to move on while still being attached to the past. The song captures the raw emotions of regret, longing, and the facade of strength in the face of a broken relationship. Its significance lies in its exploration of human vulnerability and the difficulty of letting go of a love that lingers despite efforts to appear strong and unaffected.
