El Tiburón

Laura Leon's song 'El Tiburón' is a vibrant and playful track that uses the metaphor of fishing and sharks to explore themes of attraction, flirtation, and self-empowerment. The lyrics describe a scenario where the protagonist is used as bait to attract 'tiburones' or sharks, which in this context, symbolize men who are drawn to her. The repeated lines 'Para pescar no hay nada igual, que en un moreno señor' suggest that the protagonist is particularly effective in this role, highlighting her allure and desirability.

The song takes a humorous turn as it describes how the protagonist deals with these 'sharks.' When a shark gets too close, she uses a 'golpe de cadera' or a hip movement to send them away, metaphorically putting them in a fish tank. This playful imagery not only adds a fun and cheeky element to the song but also underscores the protagonist's control over her own desirability and interactions. She is not a passive participant but an active player who knows how to handle the attention she receives.

The chorus, with its catchy repetition of 'Tiburon tiburon, primero una provadita y despues el mordiscón,' further emphasizes the playful nature of the song. It suggests a teasing dynamic where the protagonist gives a little taste before pulling back, maintaining a sense of mystery and control. Laura Leon's energetic delivery and the upbeat rhythm make 'El Tiburón' a lively anthem of flirtation and empowerment, celebrating the fun and games of romantic pursuit while asserting the protagonist's agency in the dance of attraction.
