About Te Dejo Madrid

"Te Dejo Madrid" (English: "I Leave You Madrid") is a song recorded by Colombian singer Shakira for her fifth studio album, Laundry Service (2001). It was written by the singer about the city of Madrid, the capital of Spain. The music video for it featured the singer as a bullfighter. Although it was released as the fifth single from the album in several European countries in 2002, it was not released in the United States. "Te Dejo Madrid" was very successful in Italy and Spain, but the song did not repeat its success in Latin America, as it reached a peak position of forty-five in Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks.

Si ya es hora de esconder
Del mundo el dolor
Bajo la piel
Más se que estaré bien
Los gatos como yo caen de pie
No quiero
Jugar mi suerte por ti
No puedo
Con V pequeña vivir
Pronto estaré de aquí
Muy muy lejos

Ay me voy otra vez
Ahí te dejo Madrid
Tus rutinas de piel
Y tus ganas de huir
Yo no quiero cobardes
Que me hagan sufrir
Mejor le digo adiós
A tu boca de anís

Si ya es hora de limpiar
Las manchas de miel
Sobre el mantel
Yo nunca supe actuar
Y mis labios se ven
Muertos de sed

No quiero dejarlo todo a lazar
Entiendo
Que he comenzado a estorbar
Pronto estaré de ti
Muy muy lejos

Ay me voy otra vez
Ahí te dejo Madrid
Tus rutinas de piel
Y tus ganas de huir
Yo no quiero cobardes
Que me hagan sufrir
Mejor le digo adiós

A tu boca de anís
