Mujer Contra Mujer

Ha*Ash's song 'Mujer Contra Mujer' delves into the complexities and societal challenges faced by a same-sex female couple. The lyrics poignantly describe the subtle yet profound moments of intimacy between two women, highlighting the simplicity of their love with the line 'Nada tienen de especial, dos mujeres que se dan la mano.' This seemingly ordinary act of holding hands takes on a deeper meaning when done in secrecy, 'por debajo del mantel,' symbolizing the hidden nature of their relationship due to societal judgment.

The song further explores the internal and external conflicts the couple faces. They disguise their love as friendship when in public, 'Lo disfrazan de amistad, cuando sale a pasear por la ciudad,' to avoid scrutiny and prejudice. The differing opinions within the relationship are also touched upon, with one woman feeling that their love is wrong, while the other resigns to the reality of their situation, 'Una opina que aquello no está bien, la otra opina que qué se le va a hacer.' This highlights the internalized homophobia and societal pressure that can strain such relationships.

The chorus, 'Y lo que opinen los demás está de más, quién detiene palomas al vuelo, volando a ras de suelo, mujer contra mujer,' serves as a powerful declaration of defiance against societal norms. The metaphor of pigeons flying close to the ground represents the couple's love striving to soar despite being weighed down by societal constraints. The song ultimately champions the idea that love should be free from judgment, and the opinions of others are irrelevant when it comes to genuine affection and connection between two people.
