"Ciega, Sordomuda" (English: Blind, deaf-mute) is a Latin pop song written and performed by Colombian-born singer Shakira, released as the first single from her 1998 multi-platinum album Dónde Están los Ladrones?.

"Ciega, Sordomuda" reached the number-one spot on Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart for three weeks in 1998. It was a hit all over Latin America, reaching #1 in the charts of every single country. Moreover, it reached the top spot in the Romanian Top 100, in 1999. It also became one of the most successful songs of the 90s. It remains as one of her best-known songs and has been performed several times since its release, most recently during her The Sun Comes Out World Tour.

Also this song was ranked as one of the best songs of the 90's and this song got the 7th place in the 100 greatest songs of the 90's in Spanish, according to VH1.

Music video

The music video begins with a woman, dressed in a wig, with trumpet backings, lip-synching to the song. Soon, the woman is taken away with many other people, including Shakira herself. Shakira meets a man who later dresses as a policeman and they both escape - he is cast as a boyfriend in the video. Shakira hides in a wig store, pretending to be a mannequin, and drives a car blindfolded while the whole city searches for her, blindfolded as well. At the end, the police attack the dance club where the runaways are dancing, but Shakira escapes with the boyfriend. Later, the police find video tapes of Shakira and look at them - some of the scenes are from her 2000 video, "No Creo". Whilst watching, the police tear open their shirts to reveal malfunctioning circuitry beneath.
