Amor Gitano

Beyoncé, Alejandro Fernández

About Amor Gitano

"Amor Gitano" (English: "Gypsy Love") is a Latin pop duet by Mexican recording artist Alejandro Fernández and American recording artist Beyoncé. The song contains a mixture of cultures, mostly influenced by the language of Fernández, that is Spanish, and Beyoncé's pop and R&B influences. Along with Jaime Flores and Reyli Barba, Beyoncé wrote the song, while Rudy Pérez and Beyoncé herself produced the song. "Amor Gitano" serves as the theme song of the telenovela El Zorro and it was released on February 12, 2007 during the premiere of the episode of the telenovela. "Amor Gitano" generally received positive reception from music critics. While some of them complimented the vocal exchanges between both artists and the flamenco pop genre of the song, others criticized the song for being somehow offensive due to the stereotypical lyrics. Although it failed to make any impact on the main US Billboard Hot 100 chart, it charted on a few Billboard component charts, peaking at number twenty-three on the US Latin Pop Songs chart. Achieving multi-platinum certifications for ringtones and digital downloads in Spain, the song remained at the top of the Spanish Singles charts for thirteen weeks, becoming Beyoncé's second Spanish chart-topping single, the first being "Beautiful Liar" (2007). As of 2019, "Amor Gitano" is the second best-selling single of all time in Spain.

Ay, ay, y, y ¡Gitana!
Oh, oh oh oh

Ven y quédate conmigo, dame el corazón
Vida mía estoy muriendo lento en mi prisión
Anda dime lo que sientes, quítate el pudor
Y deja de sufrir, escapa con mi amor
Después te llevaré hasta donde quieras
Sin temor y sin fronteras, hasta donde sale el sol
Contigo soy capaz de lo que sea
No me importa lo que venga, porque ya sé a donde voy

Soy tu gitano, tu peregrino
La única llave de tu destino
El que te cuida más que a su vida
Soy tu ladrón

Soy tu gitana, tu compañera
La que te sigue, la que te espera
Voy a quererte aunque me saquen el corazón
Y aunque nos cueste la vida
Y aunque duela lo que duela
Esta guerra la ha ganado nuestro amor
Esta guerra la ha ganado nuestro amor

Yo nací para tus ojos, para nadie más
Siempre voy a estar en tu camino
Alma de mi alma, corazón de tempestad
Dime por dónde ir, después te llevaré hasta donde quieras
Sin temor y sin fronteras, hasta donde sale el sol
Contigo soy capaz de lo que sea no me importa lo que venga
Porque ya sé a donde voy

Soy tu gitano tu peregrino
La única llave de tu destino
El que te cuida más que a su vida, soy tu ladrón

Soy tu gitana, tu compañera
La que te sigue la que te espera
Voy a quererte aunque me saquen el corazón
Y aunque nos cueste la vida
Y aunque duela lo que duela
Esta guerra la ha ganado nuestro amor

Uuh y aunque nos cueste la vida y aunque duela lo que duela
Esta guerra la ha ganado nuestro amor (whoa, oh oh, oh oh oh)
Nuestro amor, nuestro amor (whoa, oh oh, oh oh oh)
Nuestro amor
