This song is very very deep. Shakira is basically saying how everything in the world can go to shit, but the one thing she doesn't want to lose is her lover.
I find this song to be so romantic, yet with all the imagery of loss, death, and destruction it makes for such an interesting song. In a way I feel as though there is a definite contrast between the material and subject matter in this song. On one end you have a lovely song with a lovely melody, but the lyrics are just so dark. I love it!
