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.
Porque me habrás besado
Rocío Jurado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuando ves que yo
Me estoy equivocando?
¿Por qué no dices nada
Cuando ves que nos
Estamos distanciando?
Parece que se apartan los caminos
Que seguimos tú y yo
Que cae tan fuerte
Ya no te moja
Y no te importa
Ni te mueve
Ni provoca
Y a mí tu boca
Aún me sabe a limón
¿Por qué no dices nada
Cuando estamos tú y yo
Solos en el coche?
¿Por qué no dices nada
Cuando hacemos el amor
Alguna noche?
¿Por qué no te molestas
En hablarme y preguntarme
Si estoy bien?
Y es que quizás la lluvia
Que cae tan fuerte
Ya no te moja
Y no te importa
Ni te mueve
Ni provoca
Y a mí tu boca
Aún me sabe a limón
¿Por qué me habrás besado?
¿Por qué?
¿Por qué me habrás querido?
¿Por qué?
¿Por qué me has engañado?
Dime por qué y por qué
No sé por quién me habrás tomado
¿Por quién?
Que ya parezco un ciervo herido
¿Por quién?
Por quién por suerte o por desgracia
Ocupa el centro de mi ser
The song "Porque me habrás besado" by Rocío Jurado expresses a feeling of confusion and longing for communication between the two people in a relationship. The lyrics ask why the other person doesn't speak up when they see the singer making mistakes or the relationship drifting apart, and why they don't ask how the singer is feeling. The repeated line "¿Por qué no dices nada?" emphasizes the singer's frustration with the lack of communication.
The metaphor of rain is used to represent the emotional distance between the two people. The rain may no longer affect the other person, but it still affects the singer. Similarly, the taste of the other person's mouth may still be fresh in the singer's mind, while the other person may have moved on. The lyrics suggest that the singer is still in love with the other person, but is confused about their feelings and motives.
The final lines suggest that the singer feels wounded and confused about the other person's identity and role in their life. They feel like a "ciervo herido" (wounded deer), and wonder who the other person really is and what their intentions were. Overall, the song conveys a sense of longing, frustration, and confusion about the complexities of love and communication in a relationship.
