A music video for the song was directed by Nahuel Lerena and Eduardo Pinto with whom Torres has worked in previous videos.

With a simple plot, the video begins with Torres sleeping in a bed, where he later begins to dream and finds himself in a forest where the landscape is green with a beautiful lake where everything revolves around the song.

The music video was nominated for the video of the year on the MTV Video Music Awards Latinoamérica 2002.
