Hembra Mia
Luis Eduardo Aute Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En tu animal insolencia,
Hembra mía,
Hembra mía,
Tu desden de tibia cera
Me flagela con espinas,
Hembra mía.
Tan plácidamente ajena,
Hembra mía,
Hembra mía,
Cómo explicarte la lenta
Soledad de mi agonía,
Hembra mía.
Cuando te pienso desnuda,
Ahora que ya no me esperas,
Hembra mía,
Hembra mía,
Duelen tanto los planetas
De esa noche que respiras,
Hembra mía.
Cuando te pienso desnuda
En otro abrazo, perversa,
Hembra mía,
Hembra mía,
Qué sabrán las sordas piedras
Que se ríen y me miran,
Hembra mía.
