Perfume De Gardenias
Wisecräcker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Perfume de gardenias
tiene tu boca
bellísimos destellos
de luz en tu mirar.
Tu risa es una rima
de alegres notas
se mueven tus cabellos
cuál ondas en el mar.
Tu cuerpo es una copia
de Venus de Citeres
que envidian las mujeres
cuando te ven pasar.
Y llevas en tu alma
la virginal pureza,
por eso es tu belleza
de un místico candor.

Perfume de gardenia
tiene tu boca
perfume de gardenia,
perfume del amor.

Tu cuerpo es una copia
de Venus de Citeres
que envidian las mujeres
cuando te ven pasar.
Y llevas en tu alma
la virginal pureza,
por eso es tu belleza
de un místico candor.

Perfume de gardenia
tiene tu boca




perfume de gardenia,
perfume del amor.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Wisecräcker's song "Perfume de Gardenias" describe the beauty and allure of a woman through the use of vivid sensory imagery. The opening line "Perfume de gardenias tiene tu boca" sets the tone for the rest of the song, likening the woman's mouth to the sweet scent of gardenias. The song goes on to describe the woman's physical beauty, comparing her to the goddess Venus and noting the envy she inspires in other women. However, the lyrical focus is not solely on the woman's appearance - her laughter is likened to music and her soul is described as possessing a mystical purity. The repeated refrain "perfume de gardenia" emphasizes the idea that the woman embodies the essence of love.


The imagery in the lyrics of "Perfume de Gardenias" is particularly evocative. The comparison of the woman's hair to waves on the sea and her body to the statue of Venus evoke a sense of timeless beauty and grace. The emphasis on the scent of gardenias is also striking, suggesting a heady, intoxicating quality to the woman's presence. Through these poetic images, the song creates an impression of a woman who is both physically and spiritually captivating.
