“I’m going to heal your grieving soul, I’m going to leave you as good as new” is heard in the chorus of ‘January Day’ by Shakirabut who was that soul in pain that she wanted so badly to repair? According to conspiracy theories, it is nothing more and nothing less than a former real partner of the singer: the Argentine businessman, Antonio de la Rúa.

As you surely know, that relationship did not prosper, since Shakira married the former soccer player, Gerard Piqué, and they had two children. But after her controversial divorce, Shaks is making a comeback in the field of love because “she has a great time being single.” In addition to being linked to several famous names on casual terms, rumors recently surfaced that her former love might be having a revival, as he was seen attending one of her shows in Mexico during ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour’ singing none other than the song it inspired, and his eyes radiated a heartwarming nostalgia.

Lyrics to ‘January Day’ by Shakira

I met you one day in January
With the moon on my nose
And how I saw that you were sincere
In your eyes I got lost
What a clumsy distraction
And what a sweet feeling
And now that we walk through the world
Like Aeneas and Benitin
I already found several scratches on you
What did they do to you there?
but my crazy love
He is your best doctor

I’m going to heal your grieving soul
I’m going to leave you like new
and everything will happen
Soon you will see the sun shine
You more than anyone deserve to be happy

You’ll see how they heal
Little by little your wounds
You’ll see how it goes
The same life to decant the salt that is left over in the sea

And although you have been a foreigner
Even in your own country
If I say to you: «How do you say?»
You still say, «What do you say?»
And you cry with emotion hearing a bandoneon

And even if you seem confused with that slow walk
I know the reason that makes your heart ache
That’s why I wanted to make you this song

You’ll see how they heal
Little by little your wounds
You’ll see how it goes
The same life to decant the salt that is left over from the sea
You’ll see how they heal
Little by little your wounds
You’ll see how it goes
The same life to decant the salt that is left over from the sea

The scenes that represent this Latin anthem of romance in Spanish include the author walking on the shore of a beach with a relaxed look very much in the style of the 2000s of baggy jeans, a gray tank top and a purple hoodie while think about that love that steals your breath.
