No me crucifiques
Con los clavos del amor mi morena
No soy de tu propiedad mi reina
Y no voy a ser tu esclavo

Si siempre te amé
Por estar atado al corazón
No voy a ser el otro eslabón

De tu colección de esclavos

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Mujer hermosa
Eres una reina peligrosa
Eres las espinas de una rosa
Me matas amor

Mujer hermosa
Eres una reina peligrosa
Eres las espinas de una rosa
Mas no voy a ser tu esclavo

Eres una reina
Una princesa del amor
Donde pierdo entre tus muslos la razón
Mujer eres magia negra

No no no no no no no

Mujer hermosa
Eres una reina peligrosa
Eres las espinas de una rosa
Me matas amor

Mujer hermosa
Eres una reina peligrosa
Eres las espinas de una rosa
Me matas amor

Ay no quiero ser esclavo del amor
Ay yo quiero escaparme del dolor
Ay no se qué hacer
No se no se hey

Mujer hermosa
Eres una reina peligrosa
Eres las espinas de una rosa
Me matas amor

Mujer hermosa
Eres una reina venenosa
Eres las espinas de una rosa

Oye me bien pero jugarte yo no soy tu esclavo

Sépalo bien pero óyemelo bien
Eres una rosa una rosa filosa

Sépalo bien pero óyemelo bien
Óye óye óye óye óye
