[Beyonce]
Ven y quédate conmigo
Dame el corazón
Vida mía estoy muriendo lento en mi prisión

[Alejandro]
Anda dime lo que sientes, quitate el pudor
Deja de sufrir, escapa con mi amor
Después te llevare hasta donde quieras sin temor y sin fronteras
Hasta donde sale el sol.

[Beyonce]
Contigo soy capaz de lo que sea
No me importa lo que venga
Porque ya se a donde voy

[Alejandro]
Soy tu gitano, tu peregrino
La única llave de tu destino
El que te cuida más que a su vida
Soy tu ladrón

[Beyonce]
Soy tu gitana, tu compañera
La que te sigue, la que te espera
Voy a quererte aunque me saquen el corazón

[Alejandro]
Y aunque nos cueste la vida

[Beyonce]
Y aunque duela lo que duela

[Alejandro]
Esta guerra la ha ganado nuestro amor

[Beyonce]
Esta guerra la ha ganado nuestro amor

[Beyonce]
Yo nací para tus ojos, para nadie más
Siempre voy a estar en tu camino

[Alejandro]
Alma de mi alma, corazón de tempestad
Dime por donde ir
Y después te llevare hasta donde quiero
Sin temor y sin fronteras
Hasta donde sale el sol.

[Beyonce]
Contigo soy capaz de lo que sea
No me importa lo que venga
Porque ya se a donde voy

[Alejandro]
Soy tu gitano, tu peregrino
La única llave de tu destino
El que te cuida más que a su vida
Soy tu ladrón

[Beyonce]
Soy tu gitana, tu compañera
La que te sigue, la que te espera
Voy a quererte aunque me saquen el corazón.

[Alejandro]
Y aunque nos cueste la vida

[Beyonce]
Y aunque duela lo que duela

[Alejandro]
Esta guerra la ha ganado nuestro amor

[Beyonce] Y aunque nos cueste la vida
[Alejandro] Y aunque duela lo que duela

[Beyonce] Esta guerra la ha ganado
[Both] Nuestro amor

About"Amor Gitano" (English: "Gypsy Love") is a latin pop duet by Mexican recording artist Alejandro Fernández and American recording artist Beyoncé. The song contains a mixture of cultures, mostly influenced by the exotic language of Fernández, that is Spanish, and Beyoncé's pop and R&B influences. Along with Jaime Flores and Reyli Barba, Beyoncé wrote the song, while Rudy Pérez and Beyoncé herself produced the song. "Amor Gitano" serves as the theme song of the telenovela El Zorro and it was released on February 12, 2007 during the premiere of the episode of the telenovela.

"Amor Gitano" generally received positive reception from music critics. While some of them complimented the vocal exchanges between both artists and the flamenco pop genre of the song, others criticized the song for being somehow offensive due to the stereotypical lyrics. Although it failed to make any impact on the main US Billboard Hot 100 chart, it charted on a few Billboard component charts, peaking at number twenty-three on the US Latin Pop Songs chart. Achieving multi-platinum certifications for ringtones and digital downloads in Spain, the song remained at the top of the Spanish Singles charts for thirteen weeks, becoming Beyoncé's second Spanish chart-topping single, the first being "Beautiful Liar" (2007). "Amor Gitano" is ranked at number one on the list of best-selling singles in Spain.

The song was written by Reyli Barba, formerly of the band Elefante, who has worked with Fernández on multiple occasions. Additional writing was done by Jaime Flores and Beyoncé. "Amor Gitano" was produced by Beyoncé as well as Rudy Perez. Labeled as inappropriate for those under the age of 14, the song features negative stereotyping of Romani or Gypsy people. The entire song is sung in Spanish; the English translation of the title is "Gypsy Love".

The song contains hints of flamenco pop and strong lyrics dominate the entire track. After opening with "traditional flamenco sounds and generic Gypsy Kings-style guitarra riffs", "Amor Gitano" adds hints of pop music. As the song progresses, it transcends into a ballad, demonstrating romance, excitement and extreme emotions. "Amor Gitano" is completely dominated by flamenco guitars which is interlaced with alternating vocals. With what has been described as a "thrilling blend of the stars" by James P. Steyer of Common Sense Media, both Beyoncé and Fernández exchange "heated declaration of love and passion." Lyrically the song contains a broader, melodramatic concept of love with Beyoncé and Fernández exchanging words between verses, for instance in one part, Fernández sings "I'm your gypsy, your pilgrimage" and Beyoncé replies "I'm your thief, I'm going to love you even if they tear my heart out."
