We love the Shakira now However, We do not want to forget its musical beginnings. This artist, over the years, has managed to make us cry, dance and comfort us for our failed love story.
Now she is a historic musical icon, but, What was that song with which the world was announced? In chain dial we tell you the ‘Big Bang’ of the wolf.
What song did Shakira get known to?
It’s about ‘I’m here‘, The single that marked a milestone in the Barranquillera race, consolidating it as one of the most influential Latin artists. It was released in 1995 as the main theme of his album ‘Barefoot‘ and quickly became a success in Latin America and the Hispanic market in the United States.
The composition, like production, was in charge of Shakira and Luis Fernando Ochoa. His emotional lyrics and his melody, which fuses Latin pop elements, Latin rock and alternative rockthey resonated with the public, making it A Hymn of Lost Love. The music video, in which Shakira is seen playing the guitar in a melancholic atmosphere, complemented the emotional journey of the song.
The meaning and lyrics of ‘I’m here’
This song exemplifies The complexity of overcoming a break. The artist goes through thoughts of recovering lost lovewith a letter full of pain and desire they feel after putting an end to a love story.
Full letter:
Already, I know you won’t come
Everything that was, time left behind
I know you won’t return
What happened to us will never repeat
A thousand years will not reach me
To erase and forget
And now I’m here, wanting to convert
The fields in city, mixing the sky with the sea
I know I let you escape, I know I lost you
Nothing can be the same
A thousand years can reach
(A thousand years can reach)
So you can forgive
I’m here, wanting you
Drowning between photos and notebooks
Between things and memories
I can’t understand
I’m going crazy
Changing a foot for my face
Tonight for the day and that
I can do nothing
The letters I wrote, I never sent them
You won’t want to know about me
I can’t understand how silly I was
It is a matter of time and faith
A thousand years with others, a thousand more
Are enough to love
If you still think about me
You know I’m still waiting for you, Yeh
I’m here, wanting you
Drowning between photos and notebooks
Between things and memories that
I’m going crazy
Changing a foot for my face
Tonight for the day and that
I’m here, wanting you
I’m here
I’m going crazy
I’m here, wanting you
Drowning
(Crazy)
