2007 single by Shakira
"Hay Amores" (English: "There Are Loves") is a song recorded by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira for the extended play (EP) and soundtrack Love in the Time of Cholera (2008). The song was written by her for the Mike Newell-directed 2007 film adaptation of Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez's 1985 novel Love in the Time of Cholera. Brazilian film score composer Antônio Pinto produced the song and composed it with Shakira.[1] Shakira was initially offered a role by the producers of the movie to take part as the main protagonist. However, she refused the offer and accepted to collaborate with the musical team due to her friendship with García Márquez. "Hay Amores" is a romantic and elegiac bolero song, a music genre born in the late 1800s.[2] Lyrically, the song inscribes the kind of love that only grows fonder as time passes by. The song has won a Premios Nuestra Tierra award in the Best Movie Soundtrack category.
