Shouldn't "Cuando no te importó un pepino tu destino" be translated as, "When you didn't care a bit about your destiny."?
Hey, I'm sorry for my late reply. I just saw your comment!
I chose "didn't give a crap" because I wanted to keep the informal tone that goes with "te importa un pepino". I understand that "giving a crap" is a bit more vulgar than the Spanish phrase we're discussing, but it's the closest informal approximation I could think of.
I understand what you are saying. and, on its own, that is a reasonable translation, but when it comes to the overall beauty and poetry of this song, I don't think it fits in this case, especially because one of Shakira's greatest strengths is her ability to convey a powerful message, without using vulgarity, which the word "crap" is.
Although it is about as slight a vulgarity as possible, I don't think it fits in with Shakira.

*"Think, because iron that remains under the heat is weak."
This was a tricky phrase to translate
It may also be translated to "Think that iron under the heat/fire is always weak" but I chose the latter because it seems to make more sense in context.
# "Women get married / always before 30 / otherwise they'll only get to dress saints..."
To be "left dressing saints" is a saying in Spanish-speaking countries used to talk about a woman will never get married. it’s basically slang for “being an old maid”
$ "And on your 15th birthday you better not forget a fine champagne and to dance the waltz well."
This is a reference to the customary quinceañera party that is so common in Latin American countries. It is a coming-of-age celebration that takes place on a girl's 15th birthday. It involves a huge, often lavish party with the girl's family and friends present. She wears a fancy dress and customarily dances with her father in front of everyone.
Also, music video.
