Don't act stupid
Crazy, crazy, crazy
Verse 1
She acts dumb to raise her value
Or: She acts dumb to get what she wants
With me present, she acts like a cat in heat with you
She chatters in your ear to keep you high
She's dying for you, and it's me that you're killing
I stay calm like a corner pigeon
While she drives her BMW next to me
I'm not leaving from here, what's meant for me
Nobody is going to be able to take away from me
Chorus 1
I'm crazy with my tiger crazy, crazy, crazy
I'm crazy with my tiger crazy, crazy, crazy
I'm crazy with my tiger crazy, crazy, crazy
I'm crazy with my tiger
He's for me
And because of you he forgot
Here, 'borró' means he erased his plans / changed his plans / he forgot what he wanted to do
You have everything
And me not a damn thing
He's for me
And because of you he forgot
You have everything
And me not a damn thing
Verse 2
While she pleases you with all your whims
I take you to the pier on a little path
They tell me your girlfriend walks around with a rifle
Because she saw me dancing mambo for you
What, she doesn't allow it?
It's not my fault that you fall in love
While he buys you flowers, I buy condoms
I'm crazy with my tiger
When you try harder, you improve
And look, that's what they say
Chorus 2
I'm crazy with my tiger crazy, crazy, crazy
I'm crazy with my tiger crazy, crazy, crazy
I'm crazy with my tiger crazy, crazy, crazy
I'm crazy with my tiger
Oh my God!
Don't act stupid
What do you drink
Or: What do you buy into?
Crazy, crazy, crazy
Outro
He's for me
And because of you he forgot
You have everything
And me not a damn thing
I'm crazy with my tiger crazy, crazy, crazy
I'm crazy with my tiger crazy, crazy, crazy

SONG MEANING

Shakira’s “Loca” is a cheeky, high-energy showdown set to an infectious merengue-pop beat. Teaming up with Dominican artist El Cata, the Colombian superstar steps into a playful love triangle where two women battle for the same tigre (guy). Shakira laughs at luxury cars and whispered sweet-talk, claiming the man prefers her spontaneous mambo moves, seaside strolls, and unapologetic confidence. While the rival flashes status symbols, Shakira stays “tranquila como una paloma de esquina”—calm as a corner pigeon—because, in her eyes, he is already hers.

Beneath the flirtatious back-and-forth, the song celebrates bold female desire and self-assurance. Repeating “Soy loca con mi tigre,” Shakira turns “crazy” into a badge of freedom, urging listeners to dance without inhibitions and trust their own charisma. Packed with Caribbean slang, sly humor, and irresistible rhythm, “Loca” reminds us that authenticity wins over pretension—and that love, like great music, is best enjoyed when you let yourself go a little “loca.”
