Modelo De La Noche
Luisito Carrion Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

De pequeña soñaba con la gran ciudad
Se imaginaba en las tiendas exclusivas
Viajando en autos de lujo apoderada en dinero
Llegar a ser una exquisita modelo
A los catorce se lanzo a la aventura
La realidad se hacia mucho mas cruda
Ese cabur que soñaba
Aquellos cuentos de nada

Se convirtieron en camarera de restaurante
Este trabajo me esta matando y no rinde
Hay una forma mejor yo se que existe
Y se decide a visitar su mas reciente amistad
Que se termina haciendo una oferta irresistible
Te voy a enseñar la forma de hacer dinero - dijo
Con estos instrumentos

Modelo de la noche
Objeto del amor
Capricho de señores
Que alquilan la pasion
A ti por unas horas
Jugando del papel
De todas las señoras
De aquellos hombres fiel
Modelo de la noche
Modelo de la noche

Y aquí termina la historia de nuestra rosandez
Mas conocida como madame matilde
Hoy vive sola en su casa y aunque le sobra la plata
Pues su riqueza la logro compra de amor
Y aquí esta la moraleja de nuestro cuento
Con plata no se compran los sentimientos

Modelo de la noche
Objeto del amor
Capricho de señores
Que alquilan la pasion
A ti por unas horas
Jugando del papel
De todas las señoras
De aquellos hombres fiel
Modelo de la noche
Modelo de la noche

Modelo de la noche
Ella tenia la juventud
Modelo
Con su belleza conquistaba lo que quería
Modelo de la noche
Viajando en autos en autos de lujo
Modelo
Porque esta es la historia de esa modelo
Modelo de la noche
Capricho de señores que alquilan la pasion
Modelo
Porque que modelo, es mi modelo
Modelo de la noche
Porque camarada ya no puede mas
Modelo
Y hoy vive esta sola en su casa de lujo bebiendo champagne y caviar
Pero sin amor, que cosa ah
Madame matilde
Aprieta!

Modelo
Esa es la cruda realidad
Modelo de la noche
Que ayudala que busque en su corazon
Modelo
Buscandole los sentimientos
Modelo de la noche
Que te dicte el corazon
Modelo
Te digo la verdad
Modelo de la noche
Que siempre se debe luchar
Modelo
Y no mirar hacia atras
Modelo de la noche
Mi modelo de la noche
Modelo
Modelo modelo modelo
Modelo de lanoche

Oye camarada
Mi modelo de la noche

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Luisito Carrión's song Modelo de la Noche tell the story of a young girl who dreams of the big city and becoming a model. She leaves home at 14 to pursue her dreams but soon learns that the reality is harsh and she ends up working as a waitress. Feeling frustrated, she visits a friend who introduces her to the world of being a "modelo de la noche," where she becomes an object of desire for men who rent her time and passion for a few hours.
