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.

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.
Ese hombre
Rocío Jurado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
que parece tan galante
tan atento y arrogante
lo conozco como a mi
Ese hombre que tu vas ahi
que aparenta ser divino
tan afable y efusivo
Es un gran necio,
un estupido engreado,
egoista y caprichoso,
un payaso vanidoso,
inconsciente y presumido,
falso, enano, rencoroso,
que no tiene corazon
Lleno de celos
sin razones ni motivos
como el viento impetuoso,
pocas veces cariñoso,
inseguro de si mismo,
soportable como amigo,
insufrible como amor
Ese hombre que tu ves ahi
que parece tan amable,
dadivoso y agradable
lo conozco como a mi
Ese hombre que tu ves ahi
que parece tan seguro
de pisar bien por el mundo
solo sabe hacer sufrir
Es un gran necio,
un estupido engreido,
egoista y caprichoso,
un payaso vanidoso,
inconsciente y presumido,
falso, enano, rencoroso,
que no tiene corazon
Lleno de celos
sin razones ni motivos
como el viento impetuoso,
pocas veces cariañoso,
inseguro de sa mismo,
soportable como amigo,
insufrible como amor
Es un gran necio,
un estupido engreado,
egoista y caprichoso,
un payaso vanidoso,
inconsciente y presumido,
falso, enano, rencoroso,
que no tiene corazon
Lleno de celos
sin razones ni motivos
como el viento impetuoso,
pocas veces cariañoso,
inseguro de sa mismo,
soportable como amigo,
insufrible como amor
In Rocío Jurado's song Ese Hombre, the singer speaks about a man that appears charming and self-confident to others, but she knows him for who he really is. She describes him as a foolish and conceited person, who is selfish, capricious, and vain. He is also described as someone who lacks empathy and has a resentful nature. The singer highlights the man's insecurities since he is jealous without any reason and can be insensitive and unbearable as a lover. Despite his friendly and generous nature, the singer asserts that he only causes suffering to those close to him.
The lyrics of Ese Hombre speak to the reality that appearances can be deceiving. From the outside, people may appear charming and attractive, but they could be cruel and inconsiderate inside. The song suggests that it is not possible to judge a person accurately based on their external characteristics, but instead, we need to look within to discover their true nature. The singer's personal knowledge of the man she describes in the song suggests that she has had some experience of being in a relationship with such a person and suffered as a result.
