quiero ser santa
Alaska Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Azotada y flagelada
Levitar por las mañanas
Y en el cuerpo tener llagas
Quiero estar acongojada
Alucinada y extasiada
Tener estigmas en las manos
Quiero ser santa
Quiero ser beata
Quiero ser santa
Quiero ser beata
Quiero estar martirizada
Y vivir enclaustrada
Quiero ser santificada
Viajar a Roma y ver al Papa
Quiero que cuando me muera
Mi cuerpo quede incorrupto
Que todos los que me vean
Queden muertos ¡del susto!
Quiero ser santa
Quiero ser beata
Quiero ser santa
Quiero ser beata
In the song "Quiero ser Santa", Alaska expresses a desire to become a Saint, by describing the extreme physical and spiritual experiences that she wants to go through. She wants to be canonized, which means officially declared as a Saint by the Catholic Church, and to endure physical torture, like being whipped and having open wounds on her body. She also wants to have religious experiences, like levitation, and to see supernatural phenomena, like stigmas, which are the wounds similar to those suffered by Jesus on the cross, that appear on the hands, feet, and side of some Saints.
Moreover, Alaska wants to live a life of sacrifice and devotion, by being constantly sad, hallucinating, and ecstatic, and by renouncing worldly pleasures, by living in a convent, and by suffering for her beliefs. She also desires to be recognized by the Church, by going to Rome and meeting the Pope, and to leave an eternal legacy, by having her body remain uncorrupted after her death, which is a sign of sanctity. However, the song also shows a sense of irony and sarcasm, as Alaska seems to be mocking the extreme religiosity and the obsession with Saints, that often characterizes the Catholic tradition.

Está canción suena muy New Wave y Synth para mí ellos fueron los más modernos de todos los grupos españoles de aquellos años.
