Mujer nocturna

El Soldado's song 'Mujer nocturna' delves into the complex and multifaceted nature of a mysterious woman who embodies the night. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a figure who is both enchanting and elusive, symbolized by her 'white gala dress' and described as an 'amulet of sleepless nights.' This woman seems to be a source of both comfort and turmoil, a duality that is captured in the line 'you will always tremble in my chest.' The use of the term 'zorrita embustera' (little lying fox) adds a layer of deceit and cunning to her character, suggesting that she is not easily understood or trusted.

The second verse shifts focus to the societal interactions and struggles this woman faces. She is 'handled by boys and girls,' indicating a life of constant scrutiny and judgment. Despite these challenges, she remains a 'banquet of night and candles,' a source of allure and fascination. The phrase 'and faces of stone' implies that those around her are often unfeeling or indifferent, further isolating her. The recurring line 'Burlando al corazon, contigo pan y cebolla' (Mocking the heart, with you bread and onions) suggests a relationship that is both simple and profound, filled with basic sustenance and emotional complexity.

In the final verse, the song takes a more introspective turn. The woman's 'captivating silhouette' and 'sweetness' are acknowledged, but there is also a sense of weariness in her 'tired feet from a firm rhythm.' The singer hopes that she will not leave him, but if she does, it will be in old age. This verse reflects on the passage of time and the enduring impact this woman has had on the singer and his companions. The closing lines reiterate the theme of enduring hardship together, 'with you bread and onions,' emphasizing a bond that transcends material wealth and societal expectations.
