Muñeca Rota
Eva Ayllón Lyrics

De los ojos negros
No eres ni siquiera
La sombra de ayer
Hoy vives un mundo
De desilusiones
Envuelta en la niebla
De tu atardecer
Con tu traje lila
Con tu sombrerito
De flores extrañas
Siendo el terciopelo
De sus marimoñas
Mucho menos suave que el de
Tus pestañas
Recuerdas la vida
Los unió un instante
Y la misma vida
Trazó dos caminos
Tu trepas la cumbre
De los desengaños
Yo bajo la cuesta
De los desatinos
Muchachita ingenua
Seguiré admirando
El muy gracioso
Que había en tus dengues
Y te veré siempre
Con tu traje lila
Con tus marimoñas y tus berendengues
Muñeca
Muñeca preciosa
Que fuiste un conjunto de miel
Nieve y Rosa
Muñeca
Muñeca divina
Era una cascada tu voz
Cristalina
Quién deshizo el alma
De tus berendengues
Quién
Quién quebró tu espejo
Quién
Quién rasgó tu mota
Ay!
Hay en la tristeza
De tu desencanto
Toda una tragedia de muñeca rota
Quién deshizo el alma de tus berendengues
Quién
Quién quebró tu espejo
Quién
Quién rasgó tu mota
Ay!
Hay en la tristeza
De tu desencanto
Toda una tragedia de muñeca
Rota
The song "Muñeca Rota" by Eva Ayllón is a sad tribute to a young innocent girl who has faced many disillusionments and hardships in her life. The lyrics describe her as having black eyes and a fragile appearance, and lament the fact that she has lost the charm and gracefulness that she once possessed. The song paints a picture of a broken doll that was once beautiful and enchanting but has since lost its luster and become damaged. The singer reminisces about the moment when their paths crossed and how life led them on different trajectories with one climbing to the heights of success and the other descending into a spiral of misfortunes.
The lyrics also speak of the girl's attire that is now adorned with strange flowers and marimosas that are not as soft as her lashes might have been. The singer then asks who might have destroyed the girl's spirit and shattered her dreams. The song implies that although she may appear strong on the outside, inside, she is a shattered toy that has suffered from the trials and tribulations of life.
