La Suegra
Jesus Sevillano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

El día que me casé
Con la mujer que quería
Yo nunca me imaginé
Ni mucho menos me suponía
Que me suegra que es una fiera
Y tiene el pecho peludo
Se viniera a vivir a casa
Para amargarme la vida
Se viniera a vivir a casa
Para amargarme la vida

Pájaro de mal agüero en mi casa
Yo no lo quiero
Pájaro de mal agüero en mi casa
Yo no lo quiero
Ni que cante como un canario
Ni que parezca jilguero
Ni que cante como un canario
Ni que parezca jilguero

A San Antonio encendí
En el patio siete velas
Y en oraciones pedí
A ver si se llevaba a mi suegra
Vieja mala y estrafalaria
Lengua larga y bochinchera
Que se vino a vivir a casa
Para amargarme la vida
Que se vino a vivir a casa
Para amargarme la vida

La vieja ya se murió
Gracias doy a San Antonio
No importa lo que rogué
Porque el milagro ya se cumplió
Quiera Dios que esté en el infierno
Por lo mucho que he sufrido
Ahora pondré la fiesta
Para alegrarme la vida




Ahora pondré la fiesta
Para alegrarme la vida

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jesus Sevillano's song La Suegra describe the singer's frustration with his mother-in-law who came to live with him and his wife after their marriage. He had no idea that his mother-in-law, who he describes as a wild animal with a hairy chest, would come to live with them and make his life miserable. The singer goes on to describe his mother-in-law as a bad omen in his house and sings that he doesn't want her there, no matter how pretty she sings or appears. The singer is so fed up with his mother-in-law and the misery she brings to his life that he even prays to Saint Anthony to take her away. In the end, the singer reveals that his mother-in-law has passed away and he is overjoyed that he no longer has to deal with her. He even plans on throwing a party to celebrate his newfound happiness.


The song is a humorous take on the classic relationship between a son-in-law and his mother-in-law, which is often portrayed in a negative light in many cultures, including Spanish culture. The lyrics are full of exaggeration and hyperbole to emphasize the singer's frustration with his mother-in-law's presence and actions. The song also touches on themes of superstition and religion, as the singer prays to Saint Anthony to take away his mother-in-law.

La primera vez que escuche esta cancion fue en un ritmo mas rapido como joropo, y no tenia mucha guitarra, y tenia mas percusion y tambores, tambien interpretada por un grupo Venezolano, un ritmo mas bailable. Si alguien sabe el nombre del grupo o tiene la cancion, por favor avisame
