Senorita
Ariel Rot Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Andaba medio perdido
Yo no sabía qué hacer
Sin trabajo, sin amigos
Sin nada para beber

Amontonaba problemas
No podía resolver
Ese ritmo cuesta abajo

Cuando te vi aparecer

Y dije
Ayúdeme, señorita
Ayúdeme, por favor

Al tercer día de ayuno
Fui a pedirle ayuda al señor
Y sentí que se reía
Al terminar mi oración

Andaba medio perdido
Ya no sabía qué hacer
Sin trabajo, sin amigos
Sin trabajo, sin amigos
Sin nada para beber

Y yo le dije

Ayúdeme, señorita
Ayúdeme, por favor

Overall Meaning

In Ariel Rot's song Señorita, the singer is in a state of confusion and desperation. He is lost, with no job, no friends, and nothing to drink. He has a pile of problems that he cannot seem to solve and is feeling the downhill rhythm of his life. However, all of that changes when he sees a woman, referred to as "señorita," appear before him. He pleads with her to help him: "Ayúdeme, señorita / Ayúdeme, por favor." The chorus repeats this phrase as the singer describes his state of disarray.

Later in the song, the singer turns to prayer for help. After three days of fasting, he goes to ask for guidance from God, but feels as if God is laughing at him. He emphasizes once again that he is lost and without direction, with no way of solving his problems.

The lyrics of Señorita express the universal feeling of being lost and in need of help. The singer's desperation and plea for assistance is relatable to anyone who has been in a similar position. The use of the word "señorita" as a symbol of hope and guidance adds a touch of romanticism to the song, while the disappointment with God's response to his prayer adds a layer of complexity and introspection.
