Career
Jurado began performing flamenco at a very young age, debuting on the big screen in 1962 with Los guerrilleros, acting alongside Manolo Escobar. 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.
Illness
In 2004, Jurado was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer for which she was treated in Houston, Texas in 2006. In April 2006, she was also treated for acute liver failure in a hospital in Madrid, Spain. On May 26, 2006, Spain's Culture Minister Carmen Calvo announced that Jurado had suffered a stroke, an assertion denied by Jurado's personal physician Dr. Domingo and by her brother and manager Amador Mohedano. She died at 5:15 in the morning on June 1st, 2006, at her home in La Moraleja, Madrid, aged 61. She is buried in her hometown, Chipiona, Cadiz, in the San José Cemetery.
Distante
Rocío Jurado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que yo esté equivocada
Pero pienso que ahy sombras
Que te roban la calma.
Puede ser
Que la vida no es fácil,
Que te agobian mil cosas,
Pero estás como ausente,
Distraído y ajeno
Y algo extraño yo siento
Al mirarnos de frente.
(estribillo)
Distante,
Pareces distante,
Te siento distante
Aunque tomes mis manos.
Distante,
Cuanto más te acercas,
Me abrazas, me besas,
O a solas hablamos.
Distante,
De todo lo nuestro
De aquello y de esto.
Y no puedes negarlo.
Por mucho que intentes fingir,
Lo noto hasta en ese momento
Que me estás teniendo.
The lyrics to Rocio Jurado's song "Distante" speak to the feeling of disconnection in a relationship, despite physical proximity. The first two stanzas acknowledge the difficulties of life that may be causing the distance, but the singer suspects that there are deeper shadows at play. The chorus repeats the word "distante," which translates to "distant," emphasizing the main theme of the song.
The singer then describes how even when they hold hands or have intimate conversations, she still feels a sense of separation. She notices that her partner seems absent and distracted, and it makes her uncomfortable to look at him directly. The last line "Lo noto hasta en ese momento que me estás teniendo" translates to "I can feel it even in the moment when I'm with you," hinting at the sadness and longing the singer feels despite being physically present with her partner.
"Distante" is a poignant expression of the complexity of relationships and how the emotional and physical aspects don't always align. The lyrics speak to the universal experience of feeling disconnected from someone you love and the confusion and heartbreak that can result.
