Like a fly on candy
I looked for tenderness, but I found a mistake
With two pretty eyes
There'll be somebody who thinks that I look for danger
But my wound was your fault, my love
The cure, my own merit
I felt strong, so pretty and such a warrior
Just like an angel that walks on the earth
With lipstick I wrote you in the bathroom
That in all these years you didn't understand that I was
Soft and subtle like a premonition
Dangerous like a hurricane
A ray of light, a volcano, I'm the owner of the wind
And your perfect storm goes away
That the princess got bored of the tale
With your permission I'll change the ending
Just like a dog, happy for no reason
I so hurt and you so unable
To read my silences
I put ice in the half-empty glass
I wouldn't give any more tears for you now
Your spell has already broken
I felt strong, so pretty and such a warrior
Just like an angel that walks on the earth
With lipstick I wrote you in the bathroom
That in all these years you didn't understand that I was
Soft and subtle like a premonition
Dangerous like a hurricane
A ray of light, a volcano, I'm the owner of the wind
And your perfect storm goes away
That the princess got bored of the tale
With your permission I'll change the ending
Soft and subtle like a premonition
Dangerous like a hurricane
A ray of light, a volcano, I'm the owner of the wind
And your perfect storm goes away
That the princess got bored of the tale
With your permission I'll change the ending
Soft and subtle like a premonition
Dangerous like a hurricane
A ray of light, I'm the owner of the wind
Your perfect storm goes away

SONG MEANING

Suave y Sutil invites us into a bold break-up story where sweetness meets raw power. Paulina Rubio sings from the perspective of a woman who once searched for tenderness “como una mosca sobre un caramelo,” only to find disappointment. Realizing her worth, she transforms from wounded lover to unstoppable force: “suave y sutil como un presentimiento, peligrosa como un huracán.” The song layers vivid images – lipstick messages on a bathroom wall, ice on a half-empty glass, a princess rewriting her own fairy-tale ending – to show how heartache can spark fierce self-confidence.

Beyond its catchy pop beat, the track is an anthem of self-reclamation. Rubio’s narrator owns every contradiction: gentle yet volcanic, light yet hurricane-strong, the very “dueña del viento.” By the final chorus she is done shedding tears. The “perfect storm” of a toxic relationship fades, and the heroine strides forward, penning a new finale on her own terms. Suave y Sutil reminds listeners that true strength can be both silky and explosive, and that walking away can be the most powerful move of all.
