Ricardo Arjona turns admiration into a playful hymn in “Mujeres”. With witty lines and larger-than-life comparisons, the Guatemalan singer imagines God inventing women to cure man’s loneliness, then jokes that if they lived on the moon, rockets would outnumber beach sand. His hyperbole—offering his whole spine just to watch them walk—highlights both devotion and the everyday miracles he sees in women, from their confident stride to their power to inspire.
The chorus drives the message home: “Lo que nos pidan podemos… y si no existe lo inventamos por ustedes.” In other words, for women, men will move mountains or even create new ones. Arjona salutes women as muses who fueled Neruda’s poetry and Picasso’s art, while admitting the dance between machismo and feminism. Ultimately, the song celebrates partnership, reminding listeners that humanity arrived in pairs and should end the story the same way—side by side, with women at the heart of it all.
