Venus
Caridad Cuervo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey, Venus, oh, Venus
Venus, if you will
Please send a little girl for me to thrill
A girl who wants my kisses and my arms
A girl with all the charms of you
Venus, make her fair
And take the brightest stars up in the skies
And place them in her eyes for me
Venus, goddess of love that you are
Surely the things I ask
Can't be too great a task
Venus, if you do
I promise that I always will be true
I'll give her all the love I have to give
As long as we both shall live
Hey, Venus, oh, Venus
Make my wish come true
In the song "Venus", Caridad Cuervo is addressing the Roman goddess of love and beauty. She is requesting that Venus send a girl to her who she can love and cherish, someone who is just as charming as Venus herself. Cuervo describes this girl as having "sunlight in her hair" and "stars in her eyes", giving her an ethereal and otherworldly quality. Cuervo is so desperate for this girl to come into her life that she promises to love her forever and never betray her.
Throughout the song, Cuervo is not just singing to Venus, but to the power of love itself. She admires the way Venus can make people feel and is hoping that love can bring her the girl she desires. The lyrics are sweet and romantic, but also show the desperation and longing that can come with wanting someone.
Additionally, the chorus of "Hey, Venus, oh, Venus" is a catchy and memorable hook that adds to the overall charm of the song. The simplicity of the lyrics combined with the upbeat melody make it a classic pop song that has endured through the years.
