Perfume De Gardenias
La Sonora Santanera Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Perfume de gardenias
Tiene tu boca
Bellìsimos destellos de luz en tu mirar

Tu risa es una rima
De alegres notas
Se mueven tus cabellos
Cual ondas en la mar

Tu cuerpo es una copia de venus



De Cibeles que envidian las mujeres
Cuando te ven pasar

Y llevas en tu alma
La virginal pureza
Por eso es tu belleza de místico candor

Perfume de gardenias
Tiene tu boca
Perfume de gardenias
Perfume del amor

Tu cuerpo es una copia
De venus de Cibeles
Que envidian las mujeres
Cuando te ven pasar

Y llevas en tu alma
La virginal pureza
Por eso es tu belleza
De místico canto

Perfume de gardenias
Tiene tu boca
Perfume de gardenias
Perfume del amor

on El Ladrón

The song "El Ladrón" by La Sonora Santanera tells the story of a woman who wakes up in the middle of the night to find a thief in her room. The singer is very scared and trembling as the thief points something at her. The thief orders her to get out of bed, and the singer complies, but instead of stealing anything, the thief justo faints. The song then repeats the chorus, which calls the thief to come and rob the singer.

The lyrics of the song showcase a humorous take on a common fear of being robbed at night. The thief in the story turns out to be quite incompetent, fainting instead of carrying out the robbery. The repeated chorus almost taunts the thief, calling him to come and try to rob the singer again. The upbeat music adds to the light-hearted tone, creating a fun and entertaining song.
