The Secret Love Interest Behind Shakira’s ‘Puntería’ with Cardi B: Meaning, Lyrics in English

Share:

Few figures in the industry are capable of causing earthquakes like Shakira does. The Colombian artist already shook things up by announcing the release of her new studio album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (Women No Longer Cry), which has left no one indifferent.

Her latest studio work takes us on an introspective and painful journey through the breakup of a couple, delving into the feelings left behind by infidelity, lack of trust, monotony, anger, and finally, the attempt at acceptance. In fact, recently on LOS40 USA, we told you the correct order in which to listen to Women No Longer Cry to better understand the story Shakira tells here.

In that process of acceptance and rebirth, the collaboration between Shakira and Cardi B, «Puntería,» was born. Finally, the desire of the Bronx artist to collaborate with the Colombian diva has materialized. «Shakira’s songs make me want my marriage to go wrong,» said the interpreter of «Bodak Yellow» months ago. Now, this song explores the emergence of a new love, as well as the exploration of desire.

«And your hands melt me, your lips drug me Your biceps drive me crazy I never address you, you always arrive on target To my G-spot,» Shakira sings explicitly, in a facet we may not have seen from her before.

With a pink and idealistic aesthetic, embodying what seems to be a Greek myth, the music video also explains the sensual photos that the Colombian singer posted this week alongside «Emily in Paris» actor Lucien Laviscount.

In this case, Lucien plays Shakira’s new romantic interest, whom she literally enchants with a love arrow. If you want to discover more about the story behind the song, here are the lyrics!

‘Puntería’: Translation & Lyrics in English

Intro: Shakira

You have good aim
You know where to give me, so that I am surrendered, surrendered

Verse 1: Shakira

You have style to catch my attention
You throw darts at me, they go straight to the heart
Oh, and no matter how many times I tried
Oh, it’s impossible to avoid you

Chorus: Shakira

You have good aim
You know where to give me, so that I am surrendered
It attacks me where it hurts the most, you don’t suit me
But in your bed or mine, I forget all that

Verse 2: Shakira

Where the eye puts, the bullet puts
I shoot at the target and fall as if nothing had happened
But if you steal two kisses from me
I don’t even think about the third one
I spend all night indecisive
And I wake up with your shirt
I don’t know if I want to stop
And your hands melt me
Your lips drug me
Your biceps turn me on
I never address you
You always arrive permanently
Up to my G point

Chorus: Shakira

You have good aim
You know where to give me, so that I am surrendered
It attacks me where it hurts the most, you don’t suit me
But in your bed or mine, I forget all that
Oh, oh

Verse 3: Cardi B

Belcalis
You have the fast pass
For all my points, not just the G
Give me your fire
Squeeze my buttocks
Although you are not for me
I become a she wolf like Shaki
Crazy, crazy you are, my tiger
Touch, touch me with more desire
So that I never forget about you
She wolf like Shaki
You are my tiger
Bite me hard
Never forget about this ass

Chorus: Cardi B & Shakira

You have good aim
You know how to last me, these fools run out of battery
You throw darts at me and it doesn’t suit me, but I love it
If it’s inside, I’ll be a bitch for you
I know that it will never leave your mind, Cardi B
You have good aim
You know where to give me, so that I am surrendered
It attacks me where it hurts the most, you don’t suit me
But in your bed or mine, I forget all that
Oh, oh
