Simultaneously with the publication of the video clip, Shakira shared an emotional message on Instagram dedicated to her children, who are the main theme of the third song she published after the separation from the former Spanish footballer.

“This year Milan wrote songs that made me cry with emotion and Sasha spent hours at the piano, discovering her voice,” he begins.

“They both shared alongside me in the studio and hearing this song dedicated to them asked me to take part. They have heard and interpreted it by themselves and for themselves, with the passion and sentiment of those who carry music inside”, continues Shak.

And it ends: “Milan and Sasha, it’s so nice to see how they spread their wings to start making their dreams come true! There is nothing that makes me feel more fulfilled than being his mother.

What does the letter say?

The lyrics of the song are not centered this time, like the session with Bizarrap- in his bad relationship with his ex. Most of the lines of his ballad are dedicated to her two sons.

“You taught me that love is not a scam, and that when it’s real it doesn’t end. I tried not to see myself cry, not to see my fragility, but things aren’t always as we dream them…”, sings Shakira in a verse.

“All I want is your happiness. And be with you. Your smile is my weakness. Loving you serves as an anesthesia to pain,” she says in another.

What does acrostic mean?

According to the Royal Spanish Academy, an acrostic is a poetic composition made up of lines whose initial, middle or final letters form a word or phrase.

There are several types of acrostics, depending on where the word or phrase in question is formed: They can be with initial letters, in the middle or at the end.

Another, but with the word “bird”, can be: “TO Sometimes I wonder which animal is what / vComing from the skies come down and / ANDin its sublime flight it draws its step…”.
