Feriante
Isabel Pantoja Lyrics

The song “Feriante” by Isabel Pantoja is a beautiful ballad that speaks of two worlds that are completely different yet somehow, they find themselves intertwined in the moment. The song sounds like a story of a wealthy woman who has fallen for a gypsy man who is a feria traveler. This is emphasized in the lyrics “Luces de la feria, Voy en mi caballo, Yo soy una Reina, Tu eres un gitano, Eres un feriante, Vas por los caminos, Yo voy a casarme, Dos mundos distintos. Pero si quisiera, Que me besaran tu labio, Mientra que sigue la fiesta, Y esta mi gente bailando”. The lyrics draw a clear picture of a woman who is tempted by the feriante and his way of life but cannot abandon her own life.

As the song progresses, the woman seems to give in to her desires as she pleads with the feriante to take her away from her life, again emphasized in the lyrics “Feriante.. Llévame al rió Que quiero volverme loca, Que quiero besar tu boca, Y olvidar mi appellio, Feriante.. Llévame al campo Que quiero sonar contigo, Galopar por lo camino Sobre tu caballo blanco.” She wants to forget her name and her status to enjoy a moment of freedom with the feriante. However, she seems to realize the impossibility of this love affair, that it’s just a dream, “Que mala suerte, Que nací para quererte, Y no puedo ser tu amante. Todo fue un mal sueno, Cosa de la feria, Unos ojos negros, Como dos candela.”

Overall, the song “Feriante” by Isabel Pantoja is a beautiful and heartfelt composition that showcases Isabel’s amazing talent as a singer and a storyteller. The lyrics depict a story of forbidden love, with two people from different worlds caught up in a moment of passion.
