Music video

There are three different music videos for the song.

The first one, for the original version, was released in July, 1997. It was directed by Benny Corral and mostly shot in a Mexican casa where Thalia walks around, sleeps in various places (a hammock, a large bed and a chair) and interacts with various typically Mexican props (such as a sombrero and several cacti).

The second version was released for the European remix version of the song in 1998. It features Thalia as the sales clerk at a truck stop in the desert and a lot of dance.

In 2001 Thalia re-released the song (with a new mix) as a single for the album “Con Banda”. A third music video was made and features several traditional and iconic elements from the mexican culture.
