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.

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.
Me Ha Dicho La Luna
Rocío Jurado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuando te ilumina por la callejuela,
Y que tú te paras en otra ventana
Y que entre los hierros tú metes la cara,
Me ha dicho la luna que ya no la miras
Cuando te ilumina le vuelves la cara,
Me ha dicho la luna que si no la miras
Contigo se enfada.
ESTRIBILLO
Y también hablan los vientos
De otras huellas en los hierros
De otros hombres que se paran
En esa misma ventana
Me ha dicho la luna que si no la miras
Contigo se enfada.
Se queja la luna que si no la miras
Cuando te persigue por la callejuela.
Le he dicho a la luna que venga a avisarme
Si en esa ventana tú vuelves a pararte.
Que si tú paras en esa ventana
Y que entre sus hierros tú metes la cara,
Me ha dicho la luna que si no la miras
Contigo se enfada.
ESTRIBILLO
Me dice la luna que ya no la quieres
Que si no la miras tu olvido la hiere
Ay! Lo que yo diera por ser esa luna
Que te iluminara por la callejuela.
Me ha dicho la luna que ya no la miras
Cuando te ilumina le vuelves la cara,
Me ha dicho la luna que si no la miras
Contigo se enfada.
CORO
Me ha dicho la luna que si no la miras
Que se va a enfadar.
In Rocio Jurado's song "Me Ha Dicho La Luna," the singer speaks from the perspective of the moon, lamenting that the person they love no longer looks up at them when they light up the street. The moon claims to have heard from the wind that this person stops instead at another window and turns their face away from the moon. The moon warns the person that if they continue to ignore it, it will become angry with them. The chorus reiterates this warning, with the wind also speaking of other men who have stopped at the same window.
The second verse has the singer responding to the moon's complaints by offering to be notified if the person stops at the window again. The moon tells the singer that if the person continues to ignore it, it will be hurt by their forgetfulness. The singer laments that they wish they could be the moon, so that they could continue to light up the person's path along the street. The chorus repeats the warning that the moon will be angry if it continues to be ignored.
The song is a beautifully written metaphor for love and devotion, with the moon acting as a symbol of the lover who feels neglected and ignored by their beloved. The melody is haunting and melancholic, capturing the sadness and longing of the singer. The imagery of the moon and the wind adds to the ethereal atmosphere of the song, creating a dreamlike quality.
