Shakira’s “Amarillo” is a beautiful expression of love and admiration towards her husband, Gerard Piqué. The song reflects the way he brings vibrant colors into her life, allowing her to see the world through a different lens. The lyrics talk about the special qualities that make Piqué so unique and how she can’t help but be drawn to him.

[Verse 1]
¿Qué será lo que fabricas tú?
¿Lo que te hace tan especial?
Cuando hablo o pienso en ti
Es imposible ser imparcial
No es un daño de la percepción
Tampoco falta de sentido común
Te has vuelto todo y más allá
El mundo lo sabe, no es ningún tabú

Throughout the song, Shakira describes the undeniable connection she feels towards Piqué. She expresses how she yearns for him when he’s not around and how she idolizes him. It’s a testament to the depth of her love and the impact he has on her life.

[Chorus]
Amarillo, me tienes en los bolsillos
Morado, ya me olvidé del pasado
En rojo, por que me sangran los ojos de llorarte
Cuando no estás a mi lado
Celeste, cuésteme lo que me cueste
Dorado, porque no pienso perderte
Tu amor es un arco iris de colores
Y me muero por tenerte

The chorus of the song beautifully captures Shakira’s emotions. She compares her love for Piqué to a rainbow of colors, showcasing the vast range of emotions she experiences with him by her side. It’s evident that her love for him knows no bounds.

The title of the song, “Amarillo,” which translates to “Yellow” in English, symbolizes brightness and happiness. Through this song, Shakira beautifully depicts the joy and fulfillment she finds in her relationship with Piqué.

As a fan, I appreciate the poetic nature of Shakira’s lyrics and the heartfelt emotions she conveys through her music. “Amarillo” serves as a reminder of the power love has to bring colors into our lives.

Listening to this song, I can’t help but feel a sense of warmth and happiness. It reminds me of the love I have in my own life and how it brings vibrancy to my everyday experiences. Whether it’s a loved one, a passion, or a simple moment of joy, embracing the colors of life can truly make a difference.

So the next time you find yourself listening to “Amarillo” by Shakira, take a moment to appreciate the love and beauty that surrounds you. Let the colors of life paint your world and cherish the relationships that make it all worthwhile.
