Original Lyrics of Soltera by Shakira
Intro: Shakira
¡Shaka!
Salí pa’ despejarme
Y yo cansada de estar apagada, decidí prenderme
Cambié de amigos porque los que estaban solo hablaban de él
A las malas me tocó aprender que no tengo nada que perder
Y como ellos también
Coro: Shakira
Yo tengo derecho de portarme mal pa’ pasarla bien
Estoy suelta y ahora puedo hacer lo que quiera
Se pasa rico soltera
Yo tengo derecho de portarme mal pa’ pasarla bien
Estoy suelta y ahora puedo hacer lo que quiera
Se pasa rico soltera, ah (Shaka)
Verso 1: Shakira
El día esta pa’ bote, playa
Y para pasarme de la raya (Ah)
En la arena sobre la toalla (Ah)
Ese plancito nunca falla, -lla, -lla
Esta nena tiene fans
Y el corazón partío’ como Sanz (Ah)
Muchos son los que me tiran
Pero pocos son lo que me dan
Soy selectiva, poca trayectoria
Normal, por razones obvias
Al amor le cogí fobia
Perro que me escriba, pantallazo y pa’ su novia
Pre-Coro: Shakira
Nadie va decirme cómo me debo comportar
Pueden opinar
Coro: Shakira
Pero yo tengo el derecho de portarme mal pa’ pasarla bien
Estoy suelta y ahora puedo hacer lo que quiera
Se pasa rico soltera
Yo tengo derecho de portarme mal pa’ pasarla bien
Estoy suelta y ahora puedo hacer lo que quiera
Se pasa rico soltera, ah
Verso 2: Shakira
Con vista al mar reservé el hotel
Ya me prendí con un solo cocktail
Me puse poca ropa pa’ mostrar la piel
La abeja reina está botando miel
Refrán: Shakira
Aún huele a verano aquí
¿Qué tiene de malo?
Si eso es para usarlo
Y mi cuerpo está diciendo
Coro: Shakira
Yo tengo derecho de portarme mal pa’ pasarla bien (¡Shaka!)
Estoy suelta y ahora puedo hacer lo que quiera
Se pasa rico soltera, ah, ah, ah
Refrán: Shakira
Aún huele a verano aquí
¿Qué tiene de malo?
Si eso es para usarlo
Y mi cuerpo está diciendo
Aún huele a verano aquí
Y eso es para usarlo, sí
Hoy algo me gano aquí
¡Ay! (Shaka)
Outro: Shakira, Anitta, Danna Paola & Lele Pons, Todas
Oh-oh-oh, se pasa rico soltera
Y ahora las lobas
Tengo derecho de portarme mal pa’ pasarla bien
Estoy suelta, ahora puedo hacer lo que quiera
Ay, qué rico
Se pasa rico soltera
Mira qué rico
Ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay, ay
Tengo derecho de portarme mal
Pa’ pasarla bien
Estoy suelta y ahora puedo hacer lo que quiera
Se pasa rico soltera
Uh-uh
Tengo derecho de portarme mal pa’ pasarla bien
Pa’ que ese cabrón, cuando me vea, le duela
Se pasa rico soltera
Tengo derecho de portarme mal pa’ pasarla bien
Pa’ que ese cabrón, cuando me vea, le duela
Se pasa rico soltera
English Lyrics of Soltera by Shakira
Intro: Shakira
Shaka!
I went out to clear my mind
And I got tired of being turned off, decided to turn myself on
I changed my friends ’cause the ones I had only talked about him
I had to learn the hard way that I have nothing to lose
And just like them
Chorus: Shakira
I also have the right to be bad in order to have a good time
I’m free now, and I can do whatever I want
Being single is great
I have the right to be bad in order to have a good time
I’m free now, and I can do whatever I want
Being single is great, ah (Shaka)
Verse 1: Shakira
Thе day is for partying, the beach
And for crossing the linе (Ah)
On the sand, on the towel (Ah)
That little plan never fails
This girl has fans
And a broken heart like Alejandro Sanz (Ah-ah)
There are many who hit on me
But few who give it to me
I’m selective, little experience
Normal, for obvious reasons
I developed a phobia of love
Any fuckboy who messages me gets a screenshot for his girlfriend
Pre-Chorus: Shakira
No one will tell me how I should behave
They can give their opinions
Chorus: Shakira
But I have the right to be bad in order to have a good time
I’m free now, and I can do whatever I want
Being single is great
I have the right to be bad in order to have a good time
I’m free now, and I can do whatever I want
Being single is great, ah
Verse 2: Shakira
I reserved the hotel with an ocean view
I’m already turned up after just one cocktail
I put on little clothes to show my skin
The queen bee is dripping honey
Refrain: Shakira
It still smells like summer here
What’s wrong with that?
It’s meant to be used and
My body is saying
Chorus: Shakira
I have the right to be bad in order to have a good time (Shaka!)
I’m free now, and I can do whatever I want
Being single is great, ah, ah, ah
Refrain: Shakira
It still smells like summer here
What’s wrong with that?
It’s meant to be used and
My body is saying
It still smells like summer here
And it’s meant to be used, oh yes
Today, I’m getting something here
Oh! (Shaka)
Outro: Shakira, Anitta, Danna Paola & Lele Pons, Both
Oh-oh-oh, being single is great
And now the she-wolves
I have the right to be bad in order to have a good time
I’m free now, and I can do whatever I want
Oh, how nice
Being single is great
Look how nice
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
I have the right to be bad in order to have a good time
I’m free now, and I can do whatever I want
Being single is great
Ooh-ooh
I have the right to be bad in order to have a good time
So that that jerk feels pain when he sees me
Being single is great
I have the right to be bad in order to have a good time
So that that jerk feels pain when he sees me
Being single is great
