Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu piel, tu ropa provoca
Mujer
Tu, que algo quieres decirme
Lo prohíbe tu boca
Mujer
Algo insinúas, dices que no
El que el hombre hereda por siglo, traduce
Y yo se lo que quieres decirme
Yo tengo el dinero
Yo te doy tus pesos
No vendes tu cuerpo
Yo te doy mi sueldo
Se que me haz dicho que no
Que deje de intentarlo
Mujer
Pero también
Yo sé que no tienes por qué saber
Que estás viviendo en un mundo de hombres
Y en este mundo mi palabra es la ley
Y tú sentencia será aceptar que
Algo insinúas, dices que no
El diccionario del amor
El que el hombre hereda por siglos, traduce
Y yo se lo que quieres decir
Yo tengo el dinero
Yo te doy tus pesos
(Mujer)
No vendes tu cuerpo
Yo te doy mi sueldo
The lyrics to Alex Anwandter's "Mujer" depict a woman who is being objectified and sexually harassed by a man who thinks he can use his power and money to control her. The first stanza portrays the woman as "preciosa" and attractive, which provokes her skin and clothes. However, despite her physical appearance, she is someone who wants to speak up but is unable to do so due to societal barriers. The man understands this and feels he can take advantage of her. The woman is giving subtle hints and signals, but the man's interpretation of love is inherited from generations past, which does not leave room for consent or respect. The chorus of the song shows the man saying he has money and can give the woman what she needs, but he is not buying her body, just her time and company. He believes he has control over the situation, and the woman's only option is to accept his advances.
In the second stanza, the man continues to persuade the woman, knowing she has already told him no. He understands that he is living in a world dominated by men, and he has the final say in the matter. The power dynamic between the two is vastly different, and the man's word is the law. The woman is merely expected to succumb to his wishes and not have any say in the matter. The chorus repeats, highlighting further how the man believes he can use his money to control and coerce the woman into being with him.
Overall, "Mujer" depicts a harsh reality that many women face every day, where their voices are ignored, and they are subjected to sexual harassment and objectification. Through the song, Alex Anwandter raises awareness about these issues and encourages listeners to speak out and stand against such toxic behaviors.
