Calle Real Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
como te maltratas por solo un veinte nomas
no te vayas a cansar
y como sigues bella
cuanto tardarás, cuantos hombres irán a gozar, sin piedad
Irradías amor y das calor a almas solas
te encuentro por aquí, por allá, por todas partes
ay que duro princesa
con la vida que llevas
tu no tienes estilo pero a mi tú me matas
Tu no tienes mucho, no tienes corazón, pero tu sonrisa mata ay que dolor, yo sé porque te ví
/Lo sé porque te vi mami, te vi pasar por ahí, con sentimiento de mala
vestida de ropa cara, besos para ti, besos para que me des a mí
/Y mira, si solo fuese una sincera sorpresa mujer
esa soltura de caderas prometen otro placer
/Que dicen los clientes “Mami mueve tu cintura ven y baila ahora”
todos te quieren comprar pa' poderte gozar mulata
Yo loca que pasa
Te vi enamorada ayer y hoy día te veo con otro
Otra vez, vete y camina!
Oye, chiquitica, por donde voy,
te encuentro por aquí, te encuentro por allá, muchacha,
siempre alerta siempre en candela
Te encuentro por aquí por allá, siempre en candela
/Y ahora que pasa contigo
/Siempre en candela mamá
/Vas caminando por las calles sin saber na'
/Figurando aventuras con tanta tu soltura
/Te encuentro por aquí y te encuentro por allá
/Te veo trabajando y con tu vida descontenta
/Eso no era lo que querías eso tenlo en cuenta
/Podrias haber sido mi princesa en otra vida
/Te daría todo lo que tú me lo pidas
Te encuentro por aquí por allá, te encuentro por aquí por allá, siempre en candela
atención lindas mujeres
por favor no caigan en esa trampa vieja
hay muchas injusticias en el mundo
pero las soluciones fáciles no son las mejores
Mucho cuida'o, con esa vida que llevas
The song "Princesa" by Calle Real is a commentary on the life of a woman who is struggling to survive in a world where men view her as nothing more than a commodity. The lyrics describe the harsh reality that many women face in society, where they are judged by their looks and treated poorly by those around them. The song addresses the woman directly, asking her how she can subject herself to such a life, and expressing admiration for her resilience despite the difficulties she faces.
The lyrics suggest that the woman is a sex worker, forced to work for meager wages and provide pleasure to men without receiving anything in return. The singer notes that while the woman may be physically attractive, she lacks a heart, an observation that highlights the superficiality of the way men judge women. He notes that he has seen her with other men, and that she seems to have lost any sense of love or loyalty.
Despite the bleak picture the lyrics paint, the overall message of the song is one of empathy and compassion. The singer recognizes the woman's struggles and acknowledges her bravery in the face of adversity. The repeated refrain of "siempre en candela" (always on fire) suggests that the woman is a fighter, and that she refuses to let the difficult circumstances of her life break her spirit. The song ultimately urges listeners to be mindful of the injustices faced by women like the one described, and to work towards creating a more just and equal society for all.
