[edit] Music video

Two different music video were made for the song. One was directed by Simon Brand, and was released in Latin American countries. This video shows Shakira in a farm playing her guitar and sitting in a chair singing in the winter.

The other music video was directed by Christophe Gstalder and was released in European countries. This particular video shows Shakira walking around a house (presumably hers), singing while sitting on a couch, some frames of this version also show burning things like her guitar.
