A long list of appointments! Shakira debuted in the corridos tumbados genre with “The boss”his most recent success in collaboration with Ruled Force. With just over a day of release, this unique song has attracted the attention of locals and strangers due to the hints that the Barranquilla native sent towards her former in-laws.
The new melody by Shakira and Fuerza Regida continues to give something to talk about due to the discoveries that manage to be found. Although we recently learned of the tribute that the native of Barranquilla paid to her nanny Lili Melgar, we were also able to learn some of the phrases that the singer said towards the father of her ex-boyfriend Gerard Piqué.
In the letter you can read: “They say that it lasts more than a hundred years, but my ex-father-in-law is still there and has not set foot in a grave.”making a clear reference to Joan Piqué, father of the former athlete”, while for the woman who takes care of her children, Shaki had much more compassionate lyrics. “Lili Melgar, this song is for you, because they didn’t pay you compensation”he intoned.
At the moment it is clear that the “Wolf” was referring to the untimely dismissal that her nanny suffered at the Piqué house. However, this would not be the first time that Shakira would directly name other people in her musical works. Do you remember any other appointment in the extensive repertoire of the Latin performer?
WHO ARE THE PEOPLE THAT SHAKIRA NAMES IN HER SONGS?
Throughout her career, Shakira decided to use the names of several people close to her to write several of her songs or simply change part of the original lyrics to introduce her name. Therefore, we present you a list of some people to whom the Colombian paid tribute or named in one of her songs.
GERARD PIQUÉ
Being their most high-profile and long-lasting relationship, it was obvious that Piqué’s name was going to lead this list. From compliments to her physique or demonstrations of love for her, the 46-year-old performer wrote some songs for the former soccer player such as “Loca” (2010): “I am crazy about my tiger, he is for me”“Dare” (2014): “Without your blue eyes, I would die.”“The Bicycle” (2017): “If one day you show Piqué the Tayrona, he won’t want to go to Barcelona” and “I fell in love” (2017): “With you I would have ten children, let’s start with a couple.”
But not everything was love on the part of the Barranquilla woman, because since mid-2022, there were high-caliber appointments in “Te Felicito” (2022): “I congratulate you, how well you act, I have no doubt about that, you continue in your role” and “Music Sessions BZRRP 53″ (2023): “I only make music, sorry if I splash you.”
CLARA CHÍA MARTÍ AND HER MOTHER-IN-LAW
Another named in his latest songs is Clara Chía Martí, Gerard Piqué’s new girlfriend. She was named in “Music Sessions BZRRP 53” (2023): “CLEARLY not what it sounds like” and “She is CLEARLY just like you.”.
Curiously, in said session with the Argentine producer we also witnessed the appointment of his mother-in-law. “You left me as a neighbor to my mother-in-law and with the Treasury debt.”
MILAN AND SASHA
Her two little children could not be missing from “Acróstico” (2023), one of the most emotional songs in the Colombian’s career. Curiously, as the name of this single indicates, she used the initials of her children’s names to express lyrics of great depth.
“You taught me that love is not a scam, and that when it is real it does not end.
I tried not to let you see me cry, to not see my fragility, but
Things are not always as we dream them,
Sometimes we run, but we don’t arrive
Never doubt that I will be here.”Shakira wrote for her firstborn.
“Only one plate broke, not all the dishes, and although I don’t know how to turn the other cheek,
Learning to forgive is wise, let only love come from those lips,
If things are damaged, they are not thrown away, they are repaired, the problems are faced and faced.
You have to laugh at life,
Even though the wounds hurt”dedicated to her youngest son.
Óscar ULLOA
The singer’s first love lasted around 4 years and served as inspiration for several of the songs on the album “Piesd Descalzos”. Thus, at the end of her relationship with Ulloa, Shakira made her feelings towards Ulloa very clear in “Antología” (1996): “Because all the time I spent with you, it left its thread woven inside me. “You made me see the sky even deeper”.
ANTONIO DE LA RÚA
Before formalizing her relationship with Gerard Piqué, the Latin artist had a media relationship with Antonio de la Rúa, a renowned Argentine businessman.
La “Loba” dedicated her song “Days of January” to Buenos Aires: “I met you one day in January.”as well as “Sale el sol”, which was key to demonstrating his break with de la Rúa: “These weeks without seeing you seemed like years to me. “I wanted to kiss you so much, my lips hurt.”
