Silvia

Tu mirada

Que se enfoque y no vea pa' tras

Tu mirada

Que se enfoque y no vea pa' tras

The way that she walks in the room

Is the scent of perfume

Is the river of love that she weeps

She is the keeper of vision

A muse with ambition

A face for the cinema screen

Confident quiet bravado

And next to the bed, keeps a gun and her rosary beads

A star for today or tomorrow, a heart that knows sorrow

With hands that could throw you a feast

Ay que bonita la mujer, la-da

She went from Cuba down to Panama

El Tamborito con el na-na-na

En su casita calling, ven pa' ca

Cannot place her

'Cause she running and she running

Cannot take her

You know she's clever and she's cunning

Now we bustin'

And we bustin'

And we bustin'

No, we cannot replace her

Tu mirada

Tu mirada

Mujer ha venido a buscar, nunca ha venido a —

Mujer ha venido a buscar, nunca ha venido a —

Mujer–

Ay que bonita la mujer, la-da

She went from Cuba down to Panama

El Tamborito con el na-na-na

En su casita calling, ven pa' ca

Es la reina de su barrio

Su brujería if you know, you know

She will tell you if you listen close

Esa es Silvia, no te metas, no

Mujer ha venido a buscar, nunca ha venido a —

Mujer ha venido a buscar, nunca ha venido a —

Mujer ha venido a buscar, nunca ha venido a —

Mujer ha venido a buscar, nunca ha venido a — Eh
