Soltera Lyrics Translation – Shakira
The performer sings about breaking free from old routines and embracing self-confidence. A standout line, ‘I’ve got the right to misbehave just to have a good time,’ captures the song’s carefree spirit. Shakira uses vivid details like beach days and summer vibes to paint a picture of liberation.
Salí pa’ despejarmeI went out to clear my head,
Y ya cansada de estar apagada, decidí prendermeand tired of feeling dull, I decided to light up.
Cambié de amigos porque los que estaban solo hablaban de élI changed my friends because the ones I had only talked about him.
A las malas me tocó aprender, que no tengo nada que perderI had to learn the hard way that I’ve got nothing to lose,
Y como ellos, tambiénand just like them, I’m going for it too.
Yo tengo derecho de portarme mal pa’ pasarla bienI’ve got the right to misbehave just to have a good time.
Estoy suelta y ahora puedo hacer lo que quieraI’m free now and I can do whatever I want.
Se pasa rico solteraLife’s so good when you’re single.
Yo tengo derecho de portarme mal pa’ pasarla bienI’ve got the right to misbehave just to have a good time.
Estoy suelta y ahora puedo hacer lo que quieraI’m free now and I can do whatever I want.
Se pasa rico solteraLife’s so good when you’re single.
El día está pa’ bote, playaThe day’s perfect for a boat and the beach,
Y para pasarme de la raya (Ah-ah)and for crossing the line.
En la arena sobre la toalla (Ah-ah)On the sand, lying on the towel,
Ese plancito nunca falla-lla-llathat little plan never fails.
Esta nena tiene fansThis girl has fans,
Y el corazón partío, como Sanz (Ah-ah)and a broken heart, just like Sanz ‘referencing the famous song by Alejandro Sanz’.
Muchos son los que me tiran, pero pocos son los que me danMany are the ones who hit on me, but few are the ones who catch my eye.
Soy selectiva, poca trayectoria, normalI’m selective, with little history, which is normal.
Por razones obvias, al amor le cogí fobiaFor obvious reasons, I’ve developed a phobia of love.
Perro que me escriba, pantallazo y pa’ su noviaAny ‘cheater’ who messages me gets screenshotted and sent to his girlfriend.
Nadie va a decirme cómo me debo comportarNobody’s going to tell me how I should behave.
Pueden opinarThey’re welcome to share their opinions.
Pero yo tengo derecho de portarme mal pa’ pasarla bienBut I’ve got the right to misbehave just to have a good time.
Estoy suelta y ahora puedo hacer lo que quieraI’m free now and I can do whatever I want.

Con vista al mar reservé el hotelI booked a hotel with a view of the sea.
Ya me prendí con un solo coctelI’m already fired up with just one cocktail.
Me puse poca ropa pa’ mostrar la pielI put on some revealing clothes to show some skin.
La abeja reina está botando mielThe queen bee is dripping with honey.
