Maria de la O
El Matador Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
pa mis capricho monea
y pa mi cuerpo lusirlo
mantone bordao, vestío de sea.
La luna que yo pía
la luna que me da.
Que pa eso mi payo habiya más parné
que tiene un surtán.
- me disen arguna al verme lusí -,
y no saben, probes,
la envidia que ellas me causan a mí.
María de la O!
Que desgrasiaíta, gitana tú ere
teniéndolo tó.
Te quiere reí,
y hasta los ojitos los tienes morao
de tanto sufrí.
Mardito parné
que por su curpita dejaste ar gitano
que fue tu queré.
Castigo de Dió
Castigo de Dió
é la crusesita que lleva a cuesta
María de la O
Para su sé fui el agua
para su frío candela
y pa sus cliso gitano un sielo d'amore con luna y estreya.
Queré como aquer nuestro
no hay en el mundo dó
mardito dinero que así de su vera
ya a mí m'apartó!
Será más que reina!
- me dijo a mí er payo y yo lo creí
mi vía y mi oro
daría yo ahora por sé lo que fui.
María de la O!
Que desgrasiaíta, gitana tú eres
teniéndolo tó.
Te quiere reí,
y hasta los ojitos los tiene morao
de tanto sufrí.
Mardito parné
que por su curpita dejaste ar gitano
que fue tu queré.*

The lyrics of El Matador's song "Maria De La O" tell the story of a gypsy woman named Maria and her struggles with wealth and love. The song begins by describing Maria's desire for material possessions - gold for her hands, money for her whims, and embroidered shawls and fancy dresses for her body. The moon is mentioned as something she longs for and receives, indicating that Maria is able to attract and attain what she desires.
However, despite her apparent wealth and success, Maria is envied by others who do not understand the true cost of her lifestyle. The singer sympathizes with Maria, acknowledging that she may seem fortunate on the surface, but her experiences have caused her suffering and pain. Her eyes are even described as purple from all the suffering she has endured.
The song then delves into the story of Maria's love life. It is revealed that Maria had a beloved gypsy man in her life, but chose wealth over him, leaving him behind. The singer sees this as a punishment from God, a burden that Maria now carries. The phrase "Castigo de Dió" is repeated, emphasizing the consequences of Maria's actions.
Maria is portrayed as a tragic figure throughout the song. Despite her material possessions and wealth, she is still seen as unfortunate, with her suffering being the result of her choices. The lyrics express a sense of regret and longing for what Maria has lost, as well as a critique of the destructive nature of wealth and materialism.
