Where is the heart? (Donde estas corazón?)

Shakira · Other Songs - Shakira

Verse 1:
Where are you Love?
Yesterday I looked for you;
on the floor, and in the sky, Dearest,
and I couldn't find you.
I can't think that you're hiding from me
Because the voice inside is sincere;
It says 'yes'
Where are you Love?
Come, return for me;
my life knots like an eight
if you're not here with me.
I want to think
that you won't falter
becuase there is no one else
that exisits on this planet,
that I could ever love.

Chorus:
Where are you Love?
I looked for you yesterday.
Where are you Love?
And I didn't find you.

Verse2:
Where are you Love?
You left here
Looking for who-knows what
so far away from me,
and I think,
and continue to think,
that you won't falter,
becuase there is no one else
that exisits on this planet,
that I could ever possibly love.

I looked for you in the chest,under the car, in black,
in white, in history books, in magazines, in the radio.
I looked for you in the streets, your mothers house,
in squares, in my coin bank, in 2,000 religons, i even
looked for you in my songs.

Where is the heart? (Donde estas corazón?)

Shakira's 'Where is the heart?' (Donde estas corazón?) stands as a poignant exploration of longing and emotional vulnerability, blending her signature Latin pop sensibilities with a melodic structure that emphasizes raw feeling. Released during a period where she was refining her bilingual approach to songwriting, the track showcases her ability to weave Spanish and English seamlessly, creating a universal appeal that transcends linguistic barriers. The recording captures the essence of her early-to-mid career, where she began to move beyond pure dance-pop into more introspective territory, setting the stage for her later global dominance. While not always associated with a specific major album release, the song reflects the thematic depth found in her broader discography, focusing on the universal search for connection and the pain of separation. It remains a testament to her skill in crafting music that resonates deeply with listeners seeking emotional authenticity.
