PERFUME DE GARDENIAS
Alejandro Fernández Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Perfume de gardenias
Tiene tu boca
Bellísimos 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 un 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 un místico candor

Perfume de gardenias
Tiene tu boca




Perfume de gardenias
Perfume del amor

Overall Meaning

"Perfume de Gardenias" is a romantic ballad by Alejandro Fernández that was released in 2007 as part of his album "Viento a Favor." The song is about a woman who is described as having the sweet scent of gardenias on her lips and a beautiful radiance in her eyes. Her laughter is like a melody, her hair moves like waves in the sea, and her body is comparable to that of the goddess Venus or Cibeles. The lyrics also emphasize the purity and mysticism in her personality that adds to her overall beauty.


The use of gardenias as a metaphorical reference in the song is significant since the flower has been perceived as a symbol of purity, love, and innocence. The song's writer, Bobby Capo, was known for his creativity in writing lyrics, and in this song, he masterfully complements the Spanish melody with powerful phrases to create Anne to this woman’s beauty. The song's slow and passionate tempo, as well as the soft and delicate music, enhance the mood and add to the overall romance.

Que nostalgia. Mi madre se llama gardenia y mi papá le dedicó esta canción toda su vida que estuvo a su lado. Todos los momentos especiales siempre bailaban su canción abrazados. Mi padre descansa ya, y mamá todavía escucha esta canción como el primer día que mi papá se la dedicó. Esos momentos siempre vivirán en mi. Hermosa interpretación.
