Sale el Sol by Shakira is a song about the power of resilience and hope in the face of adversity. The lyrics tell the story of a difficult period of time, where the singer felt like years had passed without seeing her beloved, and how they had made mistakes due to fear. However, the song ultimately conveys a message of optimism, as it reminds us that after the storm, the sun will always rise again. The chorus emphasizes this idea, as it speaks of how, when we least expect it, the sun will come out, and that no matter how much we add up, one plus one does not always equal two.

These weeks without seeing you
They seemed like years to me
I wanted to kiss you so much
That my lips hurt
Look what fear made us
Do stupid things
It left us deaf and blind
So many times
Chorus 1
And one day after the storm
When you least expect it, the sun comes out
By adding so much, you lose count
Because one and one are not always two
When you least expect it, the sun comes out
Verse 2
I cried for you to the extreme
Of what was possible
When I believed I was
Invincible
There's no evil that lasts a hundred years
Nor a body that endures it
And the best always waits
Chorus 2
And one day after the storm
When you least expect it, the sun comes out
By adding so much, you lose count
Because one and one are not always two
When you least expect it, the sun comes out
When you least expect it, the sun comes out
Chorus 3
And one day after the storm
When you least expect it, the sun comes out
By adding so much, you lose count
Because one and one are not always two
And one day after, and one day after
The sun comes out
Chorus 4
And one day after the storm
When you least expect it, the sun comes out
By adding so much, you lose count
Because one and one are not always two
When you least expect it, the sun comes out
