"Te Dejo Madrid" (English: "I leave you Madrid") is a song written by Colombian singer Shakira describing her love for the city of Madrid, the capital of Spain. The music video for it featured the singer as a bullfighter. It was featured on her English breakthrough album "Laundry Service". Although it was released as a single in a lot of European countries in 2001, it wasn't released in the United States.

"Te Dejo Madrid" was very successful, as it reached the number-one spot in several Latin countries such as Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, and others. But the song did not repeat its success with the Hispanic-Americans, since it reached a peak position of forty-five in "Billboard"'s Hot Latin Tracks.

Music video

The music video for "Te Dejo Madrid" is infamously remembered for the lawsuit that famous Spanish bullfighter Julián López Escobar (El Juli) filed against Shakira, for using footage of his performances without his permission. [ [http://www.mtv.es/mtv.es/noticias/index.jhtml?id=30015083 "El Juli Vs Shakira"] . MTV Spain. Retrieved March 31, 2007.] In the music video, Shakira is seen lying on a bed and in front of a mirror in a bull fighting costume. The television shows scenes from a bull fighting performance. It shows Shakira then running to the stadium, where these performances are recorded, with a pair of large scissors. When she arrives, there is a man, who is the bull fighter, inside the ring (who is pictured through out the video as maybe her lover) who is looking in the mirror at himself. Shakira flips the mirror around so she is facing the bull fighter. Shakira is shown with a bull mask on and she is portrayed as the bull. They come face to face and she touches his lips, but turns away and plays the harmonica solo. The video ends with Shakira cutting off her long hair in the mirror and putting on a bull fighter's hat.

Live performances

*In 2003 and 2004, Shakira performed the song live on her "Tour of the Mongoose". However, the song was performed only on the Spanish-speaking countries which were visited for the tour.

*In 2006 and 2007, Shakira performed the song on every concert of her "Oral Fixation Tour".
