About Ciega, Sordomuda

"Ciega, Sordomuda" (English: Blind, deaf-mute) is a song recorded by Colombian singer Shakira for her fourth studio album Dónde Están los Ladrones? (1998). It was written by Estéfano, and Shakira. It was released on September 7, 1998, as the lead single from the album. "Ciega, Sordomuda" is a Latin pop song, with prominent influences of mariachi, and the lyrics express her clumsy feeling when the person that she loves is near; she doesn't pay attention to their signals because she is completely blinded. The song reached the number-one spot on Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart for three weeks in 1998, becoming the first single of Shakira to do so. It was also a hit all over Latin America, reaching #1 in the charts of every single country. It also became one of the most successful Latin pop songs of the 1990s. It remains as one of her best-known songs and has been performed several times since its release, most recently during her The Sun Comes Out World Tour. The song's accompanying music video, directed by Gustavo Garzón, was shot on a beach in California, and features the singer being chased by policemen in a nightclub, where the plot takes a turn toward surreal.

Se me acaba el argumento
Y la metodología
Cada vez que se aparece frente
A mí tu anatomía

Por que este amor ya no entiende
De consejos, ni razones
Se alimenta de pretextos
Y le faltan pantalones
Este amor no me permite
Estar en pie
Por que ya hasta me ha quebrado
Los talones
Aunque me levante volveré a caer
Si te acercas nada es útil
Para esta inútil

Bruta, ciega, sordomuda
Torpe, traste y testaruda
Es todo lo que he sido
Por ti me he convertido
En una cosa que no hace
Otra cosa mas que amarte
Pienso en ti día y noche
Y no se como olvidarte
Cuántas veces he intentado
Enterrarte en mi memoria
Y aunque diga ya no más
Es otra vez la misma historia
Por que este amor siempre sabe
Hacerme respirar profundo
Ya me trae por la izquierda
Y de pelea con el mundo

Si pudiera exorcizarme de tu voz
Si pudiera escaparme de tu nombre
Si pudiera arrancarme el corazón
Y esconderme para no sentirme
Nuevamente

Bruta, ciega, sordomuda
Torpe, traste y testaruda
Es todo lo que he sido
Por ti me he convertido
En una cosa que no hace
Otra cosa mas que amarte
Pienso en ti día y noche
Y no se como olvidarte

Ojerosa, flaca, fea desgreñada
Torpe, tonta, lenta, nécia, desquiciada
Completamente descontrolada
Tu te das cuenta y no me dices nada
Se me ha vuelto
La cabeza un nido
Donde solamente tu tienes asilo
Y no me escuchas lo que te digo
Mira bien lo que vas a hacer conmigo

Bruta, ciega, sordomuda
Torpe, traste y testaruda
Es todo lo que he sido
Por ti me he convertido
En una cosa que no hace
Otra cosa mas que amarte
Pienso en ti día y noche
Y no se como olvidarte

Bruta, ciega, sordomuda
Torpe, traste y testaruda
Es todo lo que he sido
Por ti me he convertido
En una cosa que no hace
Otra cosa mas que amarte
Pienso en ti día y noche
Y no se como olvidarte

Bruta, ciega, sordomuda
Torpe, traste y testaruda
Es todo lo que he sido
Por ti me he convertido
En una cosa que no hace
Otra cosa mas que amarte
Pienso en ti día y noche
Y no se como olvidarte
