Mujer Con Pantalones
Carlos Ponce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aquella quien confié los secretos de mi almohada
Que no tenga que probarse a cada instante lo que siento
Una dama frente el mundo, why en la intimidad que esa mujer sea puro fuego
La que no deba perfumarse cada dÃa en agua bendita
why que siempre tenga un si al deshojar la margarita
Yo la acepto con excusas why hasta agenda pa' pensarme
A mi me gusta la mujer con pantalones
Que tenga siempre su opinión why sus razones
Que a la hora de amar, sea una ráfaga de viento
Que me arrulle el corazón con sentimiento
A mi me gusta la mujer con pantalones
Mi complemento cuando lleguen decisiones
Ella es todas las que ame en una sola mujer
La que me salva la vida cada dÃa en su querer
Dicen que en cuestión de gustos no hay disgustos
Si me sigue la corriente yo le invento hasta lo absurdo
Si el carácter no anda bien, en el silencio esperare
A que pase la tormenta why en la cama nos podamos entender
A mi me gusta la mujer con pantalones
Que tenga siempre su opinión why sus razones
Que a la hora de amar, sea una ráfaga de viento
Que me arrulle el corazón con sentimiento
A mi me gusta la mujer con pantalones
Mi complemento cuando lleguen decisiones
Ella es todas las que ame en una sola mujer
La que me salva la vida cada dÃa en su querer
En su querer
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
(A mi me gusta la mujer con pantalones)
A mi me gusta la mujer con pantalones
(A mi me gusta la mujer con pantalones)
A mi me gusta la mujer con pantalones
(A mi me gusta la mujer con pantalones)
Que no deje de ser tierna
Ni enseñar un poco de pierna
Cachondita, cosa rica. No me dejes de querer
(A mi me gusta la mujer con pantalones) Asà me gusta
(A mi me gusta la mujer con pantalones) AsÃ, me gusta
(A mi me gusta la mujer con pantalones) Asà me gustan
(A mi me gusta la mujer con pantalones) A mi me gusta
(A mi me gusta la mujer con pantalones) A mi me gusta la mujer
con pantalones
The lyrics of Carlos Ponce's "Mujer Con Pantalones" talk about the kind of woman that he likes. He wants a woman who is confident, independent and doesn't need to prove her love to him constantly. He wants someone who can confide in him and doesn't need to be validated by him. He wants a woman who is a lady in public but a firecracker in private. He wants a woman who doesn't need to perfume herself every day and is confident in her decisions. He will take her excuses and even her planner if she needs it for him to be in her life. Carlos sings about wanting a woman who can be a powerful force in his life and help him make decisions. He wants her to be his complement and the one women that he has ever loved.
The message of the song is that Carlos Ponce wants a strong, independent woman in his life, who he can rely on and who can rely on him. The song is about mutual respect and trust between two equals. "Mujer Con Pantalones" literally translates to "woman with pants," which is a way of saying that Carlos wants a woman who can take charge and make her own decisions, instead of being overshadowed by a man.
