Señora de la Noche
Alberto Beltrán Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sin rumbo y sin amor
caminas por las calles aumentando tu dolor.
señora de la noche
los que te ven sufrir
se burlan y desprecian tu manera de vivir.
la vida y los humanos
ni si quiera pronuncian tu nombre original.
señora de la noche
te humillan sin razon
se olvidan que tu tienes como todas corazòn...
la vida y los humanos
te han hecho tanto mal
ni si quiera pronuncian tu nombre original.
señora de la noche
te humillan sin razon
se olvidan que tu tienes como todas corazòn...
In the song "Señora de la Noche", Alberto Beltrán addresses a woman who is walking aimlessly and without love through the streets at night, increasing her pain. Despite her isolation and loneliness, people who see her suffering mock and belittle her way of life. The singer notes that life and humans have inflicted so much harm upon her that they do not even bother to use her original name, and she is humiliated without cause. However, he also acknowledges her humanity and capacity for love, reminding listeners that she, like everyone, has a heart.
This song is a poignant critique of the stigmatization and marginalization of vulnerable, often misunderstood populations. The woman symbolizes those who are ostracized because of their circumstances, such as poverty, addiction, or mental illness. The lyrics emphasize the cruelty and hypocrisy of society, which criticizes those who are struggling and fails to acknowledge their innate worth and resilience. Despite the darkness of the subject matter, the song offers a glimmer of hope by acknowledging the woman's inherent humanity and capacity for empathy and love.
