'La Bicicleta', an iconic song by Carlos Vives and Shakira, has a clear reference to the Spanish defender Gerard Piqué. However, it seems that the lyrics were modified to avoid mentioning the football player.
In this way, Vives would have shown his support for the interpreter of 'Monotonía', avoiding mentioning his former partner Piqué and his native Barcelona. This was how the samario changed some verses that the singer would have dedicated to the football player like: "He likes the house more, that the hours don't pass. He likes Barranquilla, he likes Barcelona."
Instead of this clear allusion to the places of origin of the former couple, he sang: "He likes it when she dances alone, he likes the house more that the hours don't pass. He likes Barranquilla (...)" modifying the original phrase and adding an interesting gesture. Check it out:
This simple gesture said a lot about Carlos Vives' position regarding the separation of Shakira and Gerard Piqué. This detail earned him several applause and cheers from the Bogota audience, who clearly also support the Colombian singer.
The viral video that informed thousands of TikTok users about this action became popular in a few hours, reaching over 128k likes and also surpassing a thousand comments. Finally, like the live audience, many of the users pointed out the good gesture and what it represents in the friendship of both artists.
