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.
Quien Te Crees Tu
Rocío Jurado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
que vienes comiéndote el mundo.
Te piensas que gustas a todas.
Qué te crees tú. Quién te crees tú.
Sonríes de un modo insolente,
con mucho de falso bohemio.
Te encuentro pasado de moda.
Quién te crees tú.
Para avasallarme, dándote esos aires,
valiendo tán poco.
Quién te crees tú.
Siempre presumiendo que te pertenezco;
tú te engañas sólo.
Quién te crees tú.
Pobre principiante, para ser amante;
si lo ignoras todo.
Quién te crees tú...
quién te crees tú.
No esperes que caiga en tu trampa,
lo mío, es brindarte un espejo.
Verás como estoy en lo cierto.
Quién te crees tú.
Qué te crees tú.
No pierdas tu tiempo conmigo;
perdón, se me hízo muy tarde.
Se vé que no tienes remedio.
Qué te crees tú.
Quién te crees tú.
Quién te crees tú.
Para avasallarme, dándote esos aires,
valiendo tán poco.
Quién te crees tú.
Siempre presumiendo que te pertenezco;
tú te engañas sólo.
Quién te crees tú.
Pobre principiante, para ser amante;
si lo ignoras todo.
Quién te crees tú...
quién te crees tú.
The lyrics to Rocio Jurado's song "Quien Te Crees Tu" ("Who Do You Think You Are") deal with a narrator who is not impressed by the arrogance of the person she is addressing. The first stanza establishes that this person has an air of superiority and thinks they are desirable to everyone, but the singer sees through their facade. The second stanza goes deeper into their character, describing them as outdated and fake.
The chorus repeats the phrase "who do you think you are" in Spanish, with the added refrain of "valiendo tan poco" ("worth so little"). The singer is essentially telling this person that they are not as important as they think they are, and that they are fooling themselves if they believe otherwise. The final verse is a dismissal, with the singer saying she won't fall for this person's tricks and that they are a lost cause.
Overall, the song is an assertion of the singer's own self-worth and a rejection of someone who is trying to make themselves seem better than they are. The lyrics are simple but effective, with a catchy chorus that reinforces the message.

Dedico esta canción a muchos hombres que son unos prepotentes y no tienen ni educación, ni dónde caerse muertos y se creen que son los reyes del mambo.
