Review

In this song, Enrique talks about disappointing your couple and losing them. He tells us how different and cold things can be. He only can beg for forgiveness.

In the video, we watch Enrique arriving home in the middle of a rainy night, he enters the home desperate to find his girl, but he does not. Then, we see Enrique trying to rescue her from the sea. Some flashbacks from their relationship appear, but we do not know if she is okay. Later, we start to watch her not blinking; however, at the end of the video, she ends up being good again.

Spanish learners can practice Direct Object, Possesives, Positive and Negative Imperatives with this great song.
