Verse 1

If it's a matter of confessing

I don't know how to make coffee

And I don't understand football

I think that once I was unfaithful

I play badly even Parqués

Parqués is a board game

And I never wear a watch

And to be more frank

Nobody thinks about you

The way I do

Even if you don't care

Lit: Even if it gives you the same. Meaning: Even if it doesn't matter to you / you don't care

If it's a matter of confessing

I never sleep before ten

Nor do I shower on Sundays

The truth is that I also

I cry once a month

Especially when it's cold

Prechorus 1

With me, nothing is easy

You should already know

You know me well

Chorus 1

The sky is already tired of seeing the rain fall

And every day that passes is one more like yesterday

I can't find any way to forget you because

Continuing to love you is inevitable

Verse 2

I always knew that it's better

When we have to talk about two

To start with oneself

You'll already know the situation

Here everything is worse

But at least I still breathe

Prechorus 2

You don't have to say it

You aren't going to come back

I know you well

Chorus 2

The sky is already tired of seeing the rain fall

And every day that passes is one more like yesterday

I can't find any way to forget you because

Continuing to love you is inevitable

Outro

I always knew that it's better

When we have to talk about two

To start with oneself

SONG MEANING

“Inevitable” is Shakira’s lively pop-rock confession booth, where she lists all her quirky imperfections—she can’t make coffee, she plays board games badly, she never wears a watch—to show just how human she is. By openly admitting these everyday flaws, the Colombian superstar invites the listener into her private world, turning vulnerability into charm and humor.

Behind the playful self-portrait, however, lies a deeper truth: no matter how many distractions she names or how many rainy days pass, her love for someone who is clearly gone simply will not fade. The chorus delivers the punchline—“seguir amándote es inevitable” (“keep loving you is inevitable”)—reminding us that certain feelings refuse to be scheduled or silenced, just like the weather Shakira keeps mentioning. The song mixes crunchy guitars with heartfelt honesty, creating an anthem for anyone who has ever tried—and failed—to outgrow a love that is stubbornly unforgettable.
