Pies Descalzos track listing

"Pies Descalzos, Sueños Blancos" (English: Bare Feet, White Dreams) is the third single of Shakira's third album, Pies Descalzos (1996). Written and composed by her, "Pies Descalzos, Sueños Blancos" talks about all the rules that the human race has invented since Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit. It is a social satire in both the lyrics and the music video.[citation needed]

There is a Portuguese version called Pés Descalços

The song was performed in the latter half of Shakira's Oral Fixation Tour.

[edit] Music video

The music video was directed by Gustavo Garzón. The video shows an upper class masquerade ball, an image often used to represent the personas people wear in society. A door opens that shows Shakira singing and also shows images of all the rules that society has created from the past to now. There is also Portuguese version of this song, called "Pés Descalços".
