Alejandro Algara Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

que bonitos ojos tienes
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
malagueña salerosa
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 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.
