According to Shakira, “Coconut Tree” is a very personal song. It narrates the story of how she met Gerard Pique. When they were starting their relationship. They took a plane to disappear from the map for a couple of days, so they went to an island. “Coconut Tree” describes that magical moment in he...
[Verse 1]
We hid on a plane
Flying across the sky
Searching for islands where we could land
Too far away to be found
We took off our clothes and danced like if we'd gone mad
Took a dip in the ocean
To wash away all the sand
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not alone
Not anymore this time
I found my love
[Chorus]
Under a coconut tree
Where we created a universe
Hiding from all of that
Where nothing mattered but you and me
Make it like it used to be
Give me a time machine
With you and I riding on a dream
Only you and me
Under a coconut tree
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
[Verse 2]
It's like we designed the anatomy of a dream
As crazy in love as we'd ever be
Inside a fantasy
Under the stars
Floating above the sea
And we were lost like
We always dreamed to be
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not alone
I say to myself
I found my home
[Chorus]
Under a coconut tree
Where we created a universe
Hiding from all of that
Where nothing mattered but you and me
Oh, make it like it used to be
Give me a time machine
With you and I riding on a tree
Only you and me
Under a coconut tree
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
[Bridge]
Oooh
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Outro]
We hid on a plane
Flying across the sky
Searching for islands where we could land
