Empezó de cero a ser lo que querían
She started from scratch to become what they wanted
Las muñecas y dar siempre la razón
The dolls and always giving in to reason
La obediencia y la ternura le decían
Obedience and tenderness were what they spoke of
Ser rebelde era un asunto del varón
Being rebellious was a matter for the boys
Y empezaron a romperse los botones
And the buttons began to pop off
Y una curva que no estaba apareció
And a curve that wasn’t there suddenly appeared
Un escote en lugar de los listones
A neckline instead of ribbons
Y la niña aquella tarde se perdió
And that girl got lost that afternoon
Es mujer porque lo siente en todas partes
She is a woman because she feels it everywhere
Porque Venus se lo dijo aquella vez
Because Venus told her that time
No le digan que no puede, sabe arañar cuando no quiere
Don't tell her she can't, she knows how to scratch when she doesn't want to
Y también cuando lo quiere un poco más
And also when she wants it a little more
Ella
She
Ella
She
Ella es mujer porque lo siente al respirar
She is a woman because she feels it when she breathes
Su primera vez fue un fiasco inolvidable
Her first time was an unforgettable fiasco
Que duró lo que un bostezo en un sillón
That lasted as long as a yawn in a chair
Sin pericia el sexo es tan desagradable
Without skill, sex is so unpleasant
Que quedó buscando alguna explicación
That she was left searching for some explanation
Ser sutil se lo aprendió a las mariposas
Being subtle, she learned from the butterflies
Y el amor lo conoció en la decepción
And love met him in disappointment
La engañó el mismo que le mandaba rosas
He deceived her, the same one who sent her roses
Está hecha de tanta equivocación
She is made of so many mistakes
Es mujer porque lo siente en todas partes
She is a woman because she feels it everywhere
Porque Venus se lo dijo aquella vez
Because Venus told her that time
No le digan que no puede, sabe arañar cuando no quiere
Don't tell her she can't, she knows how to scratch when she doesn't want to
Y también cuando lo quiere un poco más
And also when she wants it a little more
Ella
She
Ella
She
Ella es mujer porque lo siente al respirar
She is a woman because she feels it when she breathes
Siente como dardos las miradas entre damas mientras gritan solidaridad
Feel the gazes like darts between ladies while they shout solidarity
Tiempo de resaca en la ventana, vientos grises
It's hangover time at the window, gray winds
Qué difícil es vivir con la verdad
How hard it is to live with the truth
Ella no es ni débil ni enemiga
She is neither weak nor an enemy
Y el amor fue siempre lo mejor que le pasó
And love was always the best thing that happened to her
Es mujer porque lo siente en todas partes
She is a woman because she feels it everywhere
Porque Venus se lo dijo aquella vez
Because Venus told her that time
No le digan que no puede, sabe arañar cuando no quiere
Don't tell her she can't, she knows how to scratch when she doesn't want to
Y también cuando lo quiere un poco más
And also when she wants it a little more
Ella
She
Ella
She
Ella
She
Ella
She
Es mujer porque lo siente al respirar
She's a woman because she feels it with every breath
Es mujer y se defiende como puede
She's a woman and defends herself as best as she can
No es tan fácil desplazarse por ahí
It’s not so easy to move around out there
Ni enemiga, ni domada, ni con miedo
Neither an enemy, nor tamed, nor afraid
No es panfleto, ni venganza, ni rencor
It's not a pamphlet, nor revenge, nor resentment
Solo mujer
Just a woman
