*sigh* why don't they write more songs like this...
Thanks for the tip. Don't you hate it when they take a great story, and mess it up? They did the same thing with 'House of the Spirits' - Isabel Allende's wonderful story. She is another favorite Latin American writer - I've read most of her work. I didn't see the movie. There was not one Latin actor in the movie - just knowing that was enough to know that they f***ed it up. Altho, I think Meryl Streep was in it. And all due respect to Ms. Streep - one of my favorite actors - I would not waste my time or money on that one. And what a shame - that is such an outstanding story!!

The song is beautiful, I have the movie track and this one has always been my favorite. Shakira's voice is amazing, but you are right, it is often overlooked because of her other many attributes.
As for the lyrics...yes they are.
