Peligrosa María
Los Suaves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sábado a la noche sali a pasear.
Con mis amigos fui al "Whisky Bar".
Alli conocí a una chica, María.
La recordare mientras viva.

La cosa a l principio funcionó muy bien,
Charlamos en la barra y luego fuimos a bailar.
Ya de madrugada, en el cuarto del hotel,
Le di lo que quería lo que venia a buscar.

No sabía lo que me esperaba.
No sabía lo que me esperaba.
No sabía que la llamaban.
Peligrosa María
Peligrosa María
Peligrosa María
Peligrosa María.

Al despedirnos sonreía
Esperaba, dijó, que la recordaría
También me deseo mucha suerte
Y yo como un tonto me marche muy alegre.

Al día siguiente lo tenía irritado.
¡Ay que horror! estaba colorado
Dos mil "pelas" gaste en penicilina.
Seguro que me acuerdo de María.

Ahora entiendo sus palabras
Ahora entiendo sus miradas
Ahora se porque la llamaban
Peligrosa María
Peligrosa María




Peligrosa María
Peligrosa María.

Overall Meaning

The Los Suaves song "Peligrosa María" tells the story of a man who meets a mysterious woman named María at a bar one Saturday night. They hit it off and end up going back to a hotel room together, where he gives her what she came for. However, the next day he wakes up with a terrible infection and realizes that María may not have been who he thought she was. As he reflects on the experience, he realizes that she was known as "Peligrosa María" or "Dangerous María" for a reason.


The song's lyrics offer a cautionary tale about the dangers of casual encounters and the importance of being careful when it comes to sexual relationships. The singer's lack of knowledge about María's past and reputation leads to him contracting an STI and regretting his decision to be with her. The repetition of her nickname throughout the chorus adds to the ominous tone of the song, highlighting the fact that María's danger was well-known to others.


Overall, "Peligrosa María" is a powerful commentary on the complexities of sexual relationships and the risks involved in engaging in them without taking the necessary precautions. It serves as a reminder to listeners to be mindful of their own sexual health and to approach these situations with caution and sensitivity.
