The song charted in a number of countries, and Spanish version “Gitana ” topped in U.S Latin Radio Play and put her in first place for most number-ones among female artists and also topped the Colombia charts and Mexican Single Charts. “Gyspy” received positive reviews from the critics. Due to “Gitana”‘s absence from the album, it was announced that the album will be re-released in Latin America and Spain with “Gitana” included in the tracklisting. “Gypsy” and “Gitana” were sent to radio stations around the world on 22 February,2010.Īs done with previous singles from the album, there is a Spanish version, released mainly to Latin America and Spain, named “Gitana” (English: Gypsy). He is also the minor character because when Shakira is dancing and singing he’s just sat watching her.“Gypsy” is a song by Colombian singer Shakira and it was released as the fourth single (although it serves as the 3rd single in each country) of her album “She Wolf”. For example, at the beginning of the music video there is distance between them however as the video and the song progresses they get closer and have close-ups of their faces together.īefore they are seen to be getting along, Nadal is filmed looking through a wire fence which could symbolise him not getting through to her or the words in the song.
There are other camera movements that show the relationship between Shakira and Nadal.
She said that she chose Rafael Nadal to be in the video because they can identify with each other as they were both travelling from a young age and working for their life goal. There is also a Spanish version of the song as there are with most of her music. She also said that ‘gypsies are travellers of life always absorbed in different cultures and learning from them’ and this is quite like her as she grew up in Columbia. The lyrics of the song represent Shakira’s life as she travelled around a lot as a child and so that’s where the metaphor of ‘gypsy’ comes from.
