Verse 1

I wanna live something new with you

Without thinking where you take me

I'm not afraid of heights

Because when you hold me, you always lift me to the sky

Prechorus 1

You have something, you, you have something, you

You cause a stir when you say something

Something about you, a tiki tiki, something about you

She's causing a scene, the way you dance

Anyway, anyway

We're two eyes of the same dream

We're two branches of the same tree

Chorus 1

We're on the road

Nothing in the trunk

And wherever life takes us

All the beautiful things remain

It stays in your heart

And what's no good is gone, gone, gone

Verse 2

We're foam from the same wave

A wave from the same shore

A shore like those of Tayrona

I'm gonna build you a house in the air

Next to Escalona's

Rafael Escalona was a legendary composer of Vallenato music, a traditional genre from Colombia's Caribbean coast

As the Magdalena flows out

A reference to the Magdalena River, the most important river in Colombia, where the artist Shakira is from

I want to rest in your mouth

If we have something to say, we say it singing

And if we have to cry, then we do it drinking

You and I are the alegre and the llamador drums

We're two 'Ay, ombe!' in a vallenato song

Let it flow

Bridge

The river overflows

Let it flow

Bridge

The tide rises

Let it flow

Bridge

And if they criticize me

Let it flow

Bridge

I don't even feel ashamed

Let it flow

Bridge

I never get involved

Let it flow

Bridge

In other people's lives

Let it flow

Chorus 2

We're on the road

Nothing in the trunk

And wherever life takes us

All the beautiful things remain

It stays in your heart

And what's no good is gone, gone, gone

You're so damn fine, sweetie

And if they criticize me

Let it flow

I don't even feel ashamed

Let it flow

I never get involved

Let it flow

In other people's lives

Let it flow

llamador — caller drum

Llamador literally translates to "caller", but in this context, it refers to a specific hand drum used in Colombian Vallenato and Cumbia music.

In the song, Shakira sings, "Tú y yo somos el alegre y el llamador" (You and I are the 'alegre' and the 'llamador' drums). These two drums form the heart of the rhythm section, and this beautiful metaphor suggests that the couple is an inseparable, perfect pair, creating a beautiful rhythm for life together. It's a wonderfully poetic tribute to Colombia's musical heritage.

Get ready to feel the Caribbean breeze with Shakira and Beele's "ALGO TÚ"! This vibrant song is all about diving headfirst into a new, exciting connection without any reservations. It captures that thrilling feeling of meeting someone who has that special "something"—a spark that makes you want to jump into an adventure with no map or destination. The lyrics express a beautiful trust, saying, “Quiero vivir contigo algo nuevo / Sin pensar hacia donde me llevas” (I want to live something new with you / Without thinking where you’re taking me).

At its heart, the song’s powerful message is simply, “Que fluya” (Let it flow). It’s a call to let the relationship unfold naturally, ignoring outside criticism and living in the moment. The lyrics paint a picture of perfect unity with metaphors like “Somos dos ramas del mismo árbol” (We are two branches of the same tree). It’s also a joyful celebration of the artists’ native Colombia, packed with cultural references to vallenato music and beautiful places like Tayrona Park. It's an invitation to travel light, let life happen, and cherish the journey together.
