"Whenever, Wherever" is a pop song written by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira for her first English album, Laundry Service (2001). It is the second most successful song in her career, behind only Hips Don't Lie (2006), the seventh most successful song since 1999 and the sixty-fourth most successful song in music history (According to Media Traffic). There is also a version of Whenever, Wherever in the Spanish language, Suerte, meaning 'luck'. The song is composed in the key of C# minor and takes heavy influence from Andean music, including the charango and panpipes in its instrumentation
Lyrics:
[Verse 1] Lucky you were born that far away so We could both make fun of distance Lucky that I love a foreign land for The lucky fact of your existence Baby, I would climb the Andes solely To count the freckles on your body Never could imagine there were only Ten million ways to love somebody [Pre-Chorus] Le ro lo le lo le, le ro lo le lo le Can't you see? I'm at your feet [Chorus 1] Whenever, wherever We're meant to be together I'll be there and you'll be near And that's the deal, my dear Thereover, hereunder You'll never have to wonder We can always play by ear But that's the deal, my dear [Verse 2] Lucky that my lips not only mumble They spill kisses like a fountain Lucky that my breasts are small and humble So you don't confuse them with mountains Lucky I have strong legs like my mother To run for cover when I need it And these two eyes that for no other The day you leave will cry a river [Pre-Chorus] Le ro lo le lo le, le ro lo le lo le At your feet I'm at your feet [Chorus 1] Whenever, wherever We're meant to be together I'll be there and you'll be near And that's the deal, my dear Thereover, hereunder You'll never have to wonder We can always play by ear But that's the deal, my dear [Bridge] Le ro le le lo le, le ro le le lo le Think out loud, say it again Le ro lo le lo le lo le Tell me one more time That you'll live Lost in my eyes [Chorus 2] Whenever, wherever We're meant to be together I'll be there and you'll be near And that's the deal, my dear Thereover, hereunder You've got me head over heels There's nothing left to fear If you really feel the way I feel [Chorus 2] Whenever, wherever We're meant to be together I'll be there and you'll be near And that's the deal, my dear Thereover, hereunder You've got me head over heels There's nothing left to fear If you really feel the way I feel
