I had totally forgotten about this, thanks for reminding me.

I love this song, and I love the Flemmish quivering and throaty vibrations in Shakira's voice. Her hips have not done service to her beautiful voice...she has alot of talent besides those hips, but who can help but be mesmerized by them! Thank you so much for posting this, it's truly beautiful. The lyrics are exceptionally beautiful...and heart-wrenching.
The reason the film came and went without much notoriety is because it wasn't very good. Unfortunately, since the novel is one of GGM's best novels. I am not sure if getting the DVD is worth it, except that the movie does have some beautiful scenes since it was filmed on location.

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.
