She started from scratch to be what they wanted
The dolls and always agreeing
Obedience and tenderness told her
Being rebellious was a man's thing
And the buttons began to pop
And a curve that wasn't there appeared
A neckline instead of the ribbons
And the girl got lost that afternoon
She is a woman because she feels it everywhere
Because Venus told her that time
Don't tell her that she can't, she knows how to scratch when she doesn't want to
And also when she wants it a bit more
She, she
She is a woman because she feels it as she breathes
Her first time was an unforgettable fiasco
That lasted as long as a yawn in an armchair
Without skill sex is so unpleasant
That she was left looking for some explanation
She learned to be subtle from the butterflies
And she met love in disappointment
She was deceived by the same one that sent her roses
She is made of so many mistakes
She is a woman because she feels it everywhere
Because Venus told her that time
Don't tell her that she can't
She knows how to scratch when she doesn't want to
And also when she wants it a bit more
She, she
She is a woman because she feels it as she breathes
She feels the glances among ladies like darts
While they shout: Solidarity
Hangover time at the window
Gray winds, how hard it is to live with the truth
She is neither weak nor an enemy
And love was always the best thing that happened to her
She is a woman because she feels it everywhere
Because Venus told her that time
Don't tell her that she can't
She knows how to scratch when she doesn't want to
And also when she wants it a bit more
She, she, she, she
She is a woman because she feels it as she breathes
She is a woman and she defends herself as she can
It isn't so easy to move around out there
Not an enemy, not tamed, not afraid
It isn't a pamphlet, nor revenge, nor resentment
Just a woman

SONG MEANING

Ricardo Arjona, the storyteller from Guatemala, paints the journey of a girl who grows into her power in “Mujer.” At first she plays the obedient doll, buttoned up to match society’s expectations. One day, though, a missing button and a sudden curve announce the arrival of someone new. Ribbons turn to a neckline, rules snap like elastic, and the girl who dutifully nodded “yes” begins to ask why. Arjona follows her through awkward first love, butterflies that teach subtlety, and a heartbreak that proves love can hurt as much as it heals. Every stumble, every rose from the wrong man, becomes another layer of experience that shapes her.

The chorus celebrates what she finally learns: she is a woman because she feels it in every breath, every room, every Venus-guided instinct. She is neither weak nor anyone’s enemy. She can claw when pushed yet loves harder when she chooses. Arjona nods to the unfair stares, the calls for “solidarity,” and the daily tightrope walk of modern womanhood. Still, the song never slips into bitterness. Instead, it salutes resilience: not a pamphlet, not revenge, just woman—complex, real, and wonderfully unstoppable.
