She also played a main role in 1966's Proceso a una estrella and 1971's Una chica casi decente. While temporarily living in Argentina, the Spanish diva participated in a successful musical called La zapatera prodigiosa, based on Federico García Lorca's work. After teaming with composer Manuel Alejandro, Rocío Jurado became a major and beloved figure on the Latin music scene, acclaimed throughout America and Spain after releasing Muera el amor and Señora, among other hits.

Con Mis Cinco Sentidos
Rocío Jurado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me sabe a nuevo,
Por mucho que me vaya,
Yo siempre vuelvo
Yo siempre vuelvo
Por 'mu' lejos que vaya
Yo siempre vuelvo.
Me trae recuerdos,
Mire por donde mire
Te estoy queriendo
Te estoy queriendo.
Si la boca me sabe
Solo a tus besos,
Solo a tus besos
Se seca mi garganta
Por no beberlos.
Y asi me siento
Y asi me siento
Y asi me siento
'pintaíta' en un cuadro
'metía' en un cuento.
Si todo lo que oigo
Se vuevle verso
Queda escrito en un libro
Que hay en mis sueños,
Que hay en mis sueños,
Caricias me hace el aire
Al rozar mi cuerpo
Aire, aire, aire, aire
De que por ti me muero
Ya así te siento
Con mis cincos sentidos
Te estoy queriendo.
The lyrics of Rocio Jurado's song "Con Mis Cinco Sentidos" express a deep sense of longing and devotion towards a loved one. She sings about how everything around her reminds her of this person, and how even when she tries to escape or go away, she always ends up coming back to them. The air she breathes feels new and fresh, but it always tastes and smells like this person. She can't help but think of them no matter where she goes or what she does. And even though her mouth only tastes of their kisses, she feels content and fulfilled, as if she were a character in a painting or a fairy tale.
The song is a beautiful tribute to the power of love and how it can consume and inspire us in so many ways. It shows us that when we love someone deeply, they become part of us, and everything we experience becomes infused with their essence. We long for them even when they are not around, and we cherish every moment we have with them. Rocio Jurado's voice is ethereal and haunting, conveying a sense of pure emotion that touches the soul and resonates long after the song is over.
