Shakira portrays a woman who is in pain over her cheating lover and is tired of crying over his betrayal. Alejandro Sanz, who sings on this with Shakira, plays the regretful boyfriend who wants her back, and tries to persuade her that infidelity is a forgivable offense. Both agree that this love hurts them - it's "torture." Shakira is telling him that she has cried over him too long and it would be best if they just said their goodbyes, while Alejandro won't let go and is expressing how he needs her in his life.
The American release of this album featured a remix as a bonus track, along with an acoustic version of "La Pared."
This song holds the record for longest run at #1 on the Hot Latin Songs. The cut led for 25 weeks in 2005. Enrique Iglesias' "Bailando" trumped Shakira's tune in October 2014 when it clocked up its 26th week at the summit.
