Y la quinta avenida peinaba tus rizos de sol

Festejar en la luna te vio

agapantos — agapanthus (lily of the Nile)
Agapantos refers to the Agapanthus flower, also known as the lily of the Nile. It's a beautiful and somewhat uncommon word to find in song lyrics, making it stand out.
In the song, Juan Luis Guerra sings, "Para que pintes tus flores como Monet agapantos" (So you can paint your flowers like Monet agapanthus). This line not only introduces a specific, elegant flower but also makes a sophisticated artistic reference to Claude Monet, adding a layer of cultural richness to the lyrics.
