Music video
A music video, directed by Ambrogio Lo Giudice with the collaboration if the Italian actress Maria Mazza, was shot in 1998 in Italy.[2]
In the beginning of the video, Alejandro stands on a rooftop and starts to sing. It is early in the morning thus people slowly start to wake up from sleep. In the middle of the video, one old man calls the cops to arrest Alejandro. Cops arrived but he didn't care, he didn't stop singing. While all the people were busy watching Alejandro, a girl wakes up and leaves her house. At the end of the video, the aforementioned girl goes to see her boyfriend. They stare at each other and at last they kiss.
