debajo de esas dos cejas
debajo de esas dos cejas
que bonitos ojos tienes
ellos me quieren mirar
pero si tu no los dejas,
pero si tu no los dejas
ni siquiera parpadear
besar tus labios quisiera
besar tus labios quisiera
malagueña salerosa
y decirte
niña hermosa
que eres linda y hechicera
que eres linda y hechicera
como el candor de una rosa
y decirte niña hermosa
que eres linda y hechicera
que eres linda y hechicera
como el candor de una rosa
como el candor de una rosa
In Alejandro Algara's song, La Malagueña, the singer expresses his admiration for the beauty of a woman's eyes. The opening lines, "que bonitos ojos tienes/debajo de esas dos cejas" (what beautiful eyes you have/underneath those two eyebrows), is a compliment that sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer cannot help but be captivated by the woman's eyes, as he states, "ellos me quieren mirar, pero si tu no los dejas, ni siquiera parpadear" (they want to look at me, but if you don't let them, not even to blink). The singer is expressing his desire to gaze into her eyes and be lost in them, but he needs her permission to do so.
As the song continues, the singer shifts his attention to wanting to kiss the woman and tell her how beautiful she is. The lyrics, "malagueña salerosa/besar tus labios quisiera/y decirte niña hermosa/que eres linda y hechicera" (charming Malaga woman/I want to kiss your lips/and tell you beautiful girl/that you are pretty and enchanting), express the singer's desire to be with the woman and express his admiration for her beauty. The repeated phrase, "como el candor de una rosa" (like the innocence of a rose), reinforces the idea that the woman's beauty is pure and captivating.
Overall, La Malagueña is a song about the beauty and allure of a woman, and the singer's desire to be with her. The lyrics capture the essence of romantic attraction and the longing to be close to someone.
