Verse 1
Oh the women, the women, the women
Man, what a thing, the women
They are the ones who have my soul in torment
Ruined and without calm because they don't love me anymore
Ruined and without calm because they don't love me anymore
Tell them, buddy Juanes
Verse 1
And my friends of love and partying
Man, what a thing, my friends
Now they're resentful because they don't understand
How ungrateful, the women destroyed me
How ungrateful, the women destroyed me
Chorus 1
Oh, what a thing, the women, because they destroyed me
Oh, what a thing, the women, because they destroyed me
What will become of poor Juanes without money and without affection?
What will become of Juan Esteban without money and without affection?
Verse 2
And now I keep from some very flowery time
Here in my chest scars
And now I find myself sad without money and affection
And thrown into oblivion, by those that I loved so much
And thrown into oblivion, by those that I loved so much
But I have to find a girl
Who loves me and understands me
Because sincere hearts still exist
And not just money, it's complete happiness
And not just money, it's complete happiness
Chorus 2
Oh, what a thing, the women, because they destroyed me
Oh, what a thing, the women, because they destroyed me
What will become of poor Carlos without money and without affection?
What will become of Carlos Vives without money and without affection?
Chorus 3
Oh, what a thing, the women, because they destroyed me
Oh, what a thing, the women, because they destroyed me
What will become of poor Carlos without money and without affection?
What will become of Carlos Huertas without money and without affection?
Without money and without affection, what will become of poor Carlos?
What will become of poor Carlos, without money and without affection?

SONG MEANING

From the first accordion notes, “Las Mujeres” plunges us into a whirlwind of playful heartbreak. Carlos Vives and Juanes trade verses like two buddies on a barstool, sighing ¡qué vaina las mujeres! as they list the damage: empty pockets, wounded pride, and friends who simply do not understand. Every chorus is a cheeky reminder that lost love can sting even more than an empty wallet.

Still, beneath the good-natured grumbling lies true vallenato optimism. The singers swear they will keep searching for a woman who cares about heart, not cash, proving that sincere affection is still out there if you keep dancing. The track turns romantic misfortune into a sing-along celebration of laughter, resilience, and the unbreakable hope of finding real love.
