Son Tus Perjumenes Mujer

Lupillo Rivera's "Son Tus Perjumenes Mujer" is a passionate ode to the allure and captivating essence of a woman, expressed through the metaphor of her perfume. The song's title, which translates to 'It's your perfumes, woman,' sets the stage for a sensory journey that highlights the intoxicating effect a woman's presence can have on a man. Rivera uses the word 'sulibellan,' which is not standard Spanish but suggests a sense of overwhelming enchantment or bewitchment, to describe the impact of the woman's scent on him.

The lyrics proceed to describe the woman's attributes using vivid and evocative imagery. Her eyes are compared to those of a hummingbird ('colibrí'), suggesting a lively and mesmerizing gaze. Her lips are likened to blooming petals, and her breasts to honey-filled jars, both images conjuring a sense of natural beauty and sweetness. The term 'chucaro,' referring to her body, suggests something wild and untamed, adding to the allure and mystery of the woman's physical presence. Each verse returns to the refrain about her perfumes, emphasizing the continuous and inescapable pull of her charm.
