Before he had a big successful music career Jose Manuel Figueroa (Joan Sebastian's legal name) passed most of his childhood from place to place. At age eight he was sent away by his parents to Guanajuato for school. When he was eleven he return to Juliantla, his native town, this return inspired him to begin formally composing. But he was sent off again to a monastery in Morelos where he was under the care of father David Salgado. Due to the influence Father Salgado had on Sebastian he took the decision of becoming a priest. So at age 14 he enrolled in the Seminario Conciliar de San Jose(located in Cuernavaca, Morelos). But he soon realized that music was his true calling so when he was 17 years old he abandoned the seminary to dedicate himself completely to the music business.
Meanwhile he made a living as an administrative assistant in a vacationing resort in Oaxtepec, Morelos, where he would sing through the intercom. It was in that resort that Sebastian found the incentive he needed to pursue his singing dream more aggressively. The year was 1968 when Joan Sebastian encountered Angélica María (a famous Mexican actress) who was looking for a place to stay. While she waited she asked him if he sang and the following day he sang for her six songs. Angélica María suggested to Sebastian that he record the songs and gave him the telephone number of Eduardo Magallanes, a music producer. Without hesitating Sebastian moved to Mexico City and began knocking on doors until Chucho Rincon from Discos Capitals agreed to listen to him and thus began Sebastian's artistic career. He recorded his first disc and the positive results came fast when in Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, the song "Descartada" sold 12 thousand copies. previous. His most recent production up to date is "Secreto de Amor" which was released in 2000 and sold over 1 million copies.
In February 2001 Joan received the prestigious award "Premio Lo Nuestro a la Música Latina" as recognition of his career, during 2003 Sebastian received the Songwriter of the universe Award for the second time at the 11th Annual El Premio ASCAP. He was awarded "The Silver Pen Award" in 2000, and was named el jefe

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Esa gloria que a mi
La vida me negó
Yo, el pirata de amor
Que en un mar de dolor
Mi barca naufrago
He fracasado intentando a tu playa llegar
Yo cerrajero infalible hasta esta oración
No pude encontrar la llave de tu corazón
Tu, ese sueño ideal
De mi noche sin luz
Mi luna efímera
Yo, lastime la pasión
Pregone la canción
Que acaba en sátira
Llora de amor el pirata, yo lobo de mar
He fracasado intentando a tu playa llegar
Yo cerrajero infalible hasta esta oración
No pude encontrar la llave de tu corazón
Llora de amor el pirata, yo lobo de mar
He fracasado intentando a tu playa llegar
Yo cerrajero infalible hasta esta oración
No pude encontrar la llave de tu corazón

He compares himself to a pirate, a lover who has sailed across a sea of pain and has crashed his boat trying to reach the woman's shores. The singer admits to being unsuccessful in finding the key to the woman's heart, despite portraying himself as a master locksmith even up to this point.
The lyrics depict a sense of loss and regret as the singer laments his unrequited love. He sees himself as a lobo de mar, a lonely sailor who is unable to find a safe harbor in the woman's heart. He also regrets causing pain to the woman he loves, singing about his failure to nurture the passion that he once proclaimed with a song, now ending in ridicule.
Overall, this song expresses the emotions of heartbreak and disappointment, the singer grappling with his inability to fulfill his dreams of love. It is an honest confession of failure that others who have experienced similar feelings can relate to.

Tu, ese sueño ideal
esa gloria que a mi
la vida me negó

que en un mar de dolor
mi barca naufrago
Yo del amor el pirata, yo lobo de mar
he fracasado intentando a tu playa llegar

no pude encontrar la llave de tu corazon
un dia escuche
una cancion del viento
y me llene los pulmones
y te atoraste en mi adentro
por eso se que eres mia y que
contigo voy y vengo y aunque

Cuanto se sufre cuando se quiere y ese hermoso sentimiento no llega a esa persona o no es recibido con el mismo cariño con el cual lo expresamos y nos queda el dolor que refleja el alma a travez de nuestros ojos por no haber encontrado la forma de llegar a su corazon.
