No, no intentes disculparte
No juegues a insistir
Las excusas ya existían antes de ti
No, no me mires como antes
No hables en plural
La retórica es tu arma más letal
Voy a pedirte que no vuelvas más
Siento que me duelas todavía aquí
Adentro
Y que a tu edad sepas bien lo que es
Romperle el corazón a alguien así
No se puede vivir con tanto veneno,
La esperanza que me dio tu amor
No me la dio más nadie,
Te juro, no miento
No se puede vivir con tanto veneno
No se puede dedicar el alma
A acumular intentos
Pesa más la rabia que el cemento
Espero que no esperes que te espere
Después de mis 26
La paciencia se me ha ido hasta los pies
Y voy deshojando margaritas
Y mirando sin mirar
Para ver si así, te irritas y te vas
Voy a pedirte que no vuelvas más
Siento que me duelas todavía aquí
Adentro
Y que a tu edad sepas bien lo que es
Romperle el corazón a alguien así
No se puede vivir con tanto veneno
La esperanza que me dio tu amor
No me la dio más nadie
Te juro, no miento
No se puede morir con tanto veneno
No se puede dedicar el alma
A acumular intentos
Pesa más la rabia que el cemento
No juegues a insistir
Las excusas ya existían antes de ti
No hables en plural
La retórica es tu arma más letal
Siento que me duelas todavía aquí
Adentro
Romperle el corazón a alguien así
La esperanza que me dio tu amor
No me la dio más nadie,
Te juro, no miento
No se puede dedicar el alma
A acumular intentos
Pesa más la rabia que el cemento
Después de mis 26
La paciencia se me ha ido hasta los pies
Y mirando sin mirar
Para ver si así, te irritas y te vas
Siento que me duelas todavía aquí
Adentro
Romperle el corazón a alguien así
La esperanza que me dio tu amor
No me la dio más nadie
Te juro, no miento
No se puede dedicar el alma
A acumular intentos
Pesa más la rabia que el cemento

To me this song is about letting go of all the pain & bitterness from a failed relationship. She is saying that you cannot live with so much venom inside of you and it's heavier on your soul than the weight of cement. Metaphor of course.
It seems as if she was with this guy for a while but he wasn't moving further ahead and she felt like time was going by and she was wasting her time. She says in the song," I hope you don't expect me to wait for you past the age of 26." So, she's telling him to leave her alone because she is vulnerable and does have feelings for him but No, she's got to let him go and let go of the pain but in order for her to do this he needs to disappear from her life.
Make sense? lol
it's basically talking about that no one could live w/so much "posion"..as in pain.
She has this boyfriend she really loves and he betrayed her, she is telling him that she forgive him, but she's not coming back to him because he hurt her so much and she doesn't want to be hurt again. Veneno , poision, i think means that she will not keep that anger ( because whatever he did to her) on her heart, she forgives but doesn't forget.
i love this song is so great and is just the song of my life!!...
I don´t think he betrayed her. I think that he had just fear to become engagued and she was sick of waiting for him to decide and that is why she brakes the relation. When she speaks of poisson is related to te anger that she felt during the relation cause he didn´t want to get more involved with the relation and that maid their relation even more difficult.
such a great song by shakira. i never thought she could reach this level. congratulations and my respect!
The song is sad... the video is emotional and heart-breaking... I love it... watching her cry in the video makes me tear up every time... she is seriously some kind of sorcerer... sorceress.
Probably one of the most beautiful songs written in Spanish i've ever heard. ¡Shakira es simplemente fenomenal!
i loveeee this song its soo beautiful! ¡muy impresionante!
Shakira is a pop artist whatever. But she is a amazing lyricist, especially in spanish. I don't think people understand.
