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.
Necesito Estar Sola
Rocío Jurado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Detras de los recuerdos y la ausencia.
Hoy necesito estar mas sola todavía
Mas alla del dolor y las tinieblas.
Hoy necesito estar conmigo a solas
Perdida entre mi cuerpo y la experiencia.
Hoy quiero preguntar por que se vive
(estribillo)
Sola, necesito estar sola
Sola yo, con mis penas.
Sola, necesito convencerme
Si eres tú quien me condena.
Sola... sola.... sola, con mis penas.
No necesito mentiras ni palabras
Acaso si me queda la prudencia.
Hoy la esperanza la tengo malherida
Dolorida la fe y el alma a cuestas.
Hoy necesito herirme en los espejos
Clavarme esta canción entre las venas.
Hoy rompo con mis labios la mentira
Y he dejado desnuda la belleza.
