Lyrics

Era tan rojo el color de sus labios,
que era difícil librarse su encanto,
era evidente su forma perfecta,
bajo las luces de la pasarela.
Solo un rubor se escuchaba a su paso,
era el misterio jugando al aplauso,
el corazón palpitando despacio,
siempre luciendo el vestido con garbo.
Y… como una maniquí,
con los ojos perdidos
con rastro de astío,
fingiendo sentir,
se engañaba al reir…
Y… la elegancia en su facha,
modelando la falsa y estúpida farsa,
que compran las damas de la sociedad.
Y… corazones de moda,
persiguiendo la onda bañada de encanto,
luciendo otro trazo con nombre en francés.
Y… tanto lujo en exceso,
y al perfume del ego poniéndole
precio al valor de su cuerpo,
como novedad… como novedad…
Era tan rojo el color de sus labios,
que era difícil librarse su encanto,
era evidente su forma perfecta,
bajo las luces de la pasarela.
Con la virtud que sus padres le han dado,
se cotizó su llanto en el mercado,
solo le falta un detalle en la cuenta,
que un día funcione por fín… su cabeza.
Y… la elegancia en su facha,
modelando la falsa y estúpida farsa,
que compran las damas de la sociedad.
Y… corazones de moda,
persiguiendo la onda bañada de encanto,
luciendo otro trazo con nombre en francés.
Y… tanto lujo en exceso,
y al perfume del ego poniéndole
precio al valor de su cuerpo,
como novedad… como novedad…

Lyrics translation

It was so red the color of her lips,
that it was hard to get rid of his charm,
his perfect form was evident,
under the lights of the catwalk.
Only a blush was heard in his footsteps,
it was the mystery playing to applause,
heart beating slowly,
always wearing the dress gracefully.
And ... like a mannequin,
with lost eyes
with a trace of astyus,
pretending to feel,
he was fooling himself by laughing…
And ... elegance in its face,
modeling the false and stupid farce,
that the ladies of society buy.
And ... fashionable hearts,
chasing the wave bathed in charm,
wearing another stroke with a French name.
And ... so much excess luxury,
and the perfume of the ego putting
price to the value of your body,
as a novelty ... as a novelty…
It was so red the color of her lips,
that it was hard to get rid of his charm,
his perfect form was evident,
under the lights of the catwalk.
With the virtue his parents have given him,
his crying was quoted on the market,
only one detail is missing on the account,
may one day finally work ... your head.
And ... elegance in its face,
modeling the false and stupid farce,
that the ladies of society buy.
And ... fashionable hearts,
chasing the wave bathed in charm,
wearing another stroke with a French name.
And ... so much excess luxury,
and the perfume of the ego putting
price to the value of your body,
as a novelty ... as a novelty…
