La Mucura
La Autoridad de la Sierra Lyrics

The lyrics to La Autoridad de la Sierra's song La Múcura tell the story of a woman struggling with a large jar of water (referred to as a "múcura") that she cannot lift from the ground. Despite her best efforts, she cannot seem to make any progress in moving the jar, and calls out to her mother for help. Even as she struggles, she is encouraged to dance and enjoy herself by the "authority of the Sierra" (a reference to the band), who assure her that she can still have a good time despite her troubles.

The song continues with the woman being advised to call upon St. Peter for help in lifting the jar, only to discover that he has been the one who broke it in the first place. Despite this setback, the woman continues to struggle with the jar and calls out to her mother for help, always repeating the refrain "Es que no puedo con ella, mama no puedo con ella" (which roughly translates to "I just can't handle it, mama, I just can't handle it").

On one level, the lyrics to La Múcura can be interpreted as a lighthearted tale of a woman's struggle with a large jar of water, with the music and dancing creating a sense of joy and celebration despite the difficulties involved. However, the song may also be seen as a metaphor for the challenges and obstacles that people face in their everyday lives, with the woman's struggle representing the difficulties that we all must endure.
