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.
Se me murió tu amor
Rocío Jurado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En un patio de alegres macetones,
Cuando el sol repartía sus doblones
A través de la verde celosía.
Se me murió tu amor sin agonía,
Sin requiem cantim pace, sin crespones,
Sin nadie que rezara en los rincones,
Porque todo pasó frente a una boca,
A la que yo besaba como loca,
Sin recordar la tuya en absoluto —en absoluto—.
¿Qué sucedió después? —Pues que he enterrado,
Enterrado en mi frente tu nombre y mi pasado,
Y ni por ti ni por tu amor me he puesto luto
—me he puesto luto, me he puesto luto—,
Y ni por ti ni por tu amor me he puesto luto.
¡Luto, ay, me he puesto luto!
The lyrics of Rocío Jurado’s song Se me murió tu amor describe a love that has died. The singer tells us that the love died suddenly and unexpectedly, almost as if it were a physical object that had been present with them one moment and vanished the next. The place where it died is described as being in a patio lined with lively flower pots, and the sun was shining through a green lattice. The singer emphasizes the suddenness of the love’s death by stating that there was no agony, no final farewell, no mourning. It simply ceased to be.
The singer reflects on how the love ended, and indicates that it was something that happened during a passionate kiss with someone who was not their lover. The singer was so consumed by passion for this other person that they did not think about the love that had just died. The lyrics do not specify whether or not the singer was unfaithful, but the implication is that they were. The singer then goes on to say that they have since buried the memory of the person they loved and their own past, and they did not mourn the death of the love. The final line of the song states that they did not put on mourning clothes, but the repetition of the word “luto” at the end implies that there is an underlying sadness that persists even though they outwardly seem unaffected by the loss.
Overall, the lyrics to Se me murió tu amor describe a love that has come to an abrupt end without warning or mourning. The singer seems to be consumed by passion and desire for someone who is not their lover, but it is not clear to what extent they were unfaithful. The sense of loss and sadness is present throughout the song, even though the singer insists that they have moved on.

Hermoso homenaje de Rosalía a Rocío Jurado y al compositor Manuel Alejandro.
Y ejemplar también la respuesta del maestro:
-"Rosalía, mi niña, ayer a tí se te rompería el amor, pero a Medio Mundo de los que decimos te amo nos rompiste el corazón en mil pedazos"...
Manuel Alejandro.
y seguro Rocío en el Cielo también se pone contenta y se pone orgullosa con esta versión...
Oleee 💃💃💃
👏👏👏

En Puerto Rico he tenido la oportunidad de ver a grandes cantantes de todos los géneros. Desde Madonna, Cindy Lauper, hasta Luis Miguel, Raphael, Isabel Pantoja, Emmanuel, José José, Mecano, bandas de rock como Kiss, Bon Jovi, Ratt, Marta Sánchez. Cantantes puertorriqueños como Ednita Nazario, Yolandita Monje, Lucecita, Wilkins, Danny Rivera. De lo popular a lo clásico.
Pero nunca he visto a un público ovacionar a una cantante por 15 minutos como a Rocío Jurado. Esa catarsis que se da en el teatro al ver en el público a decenas de mujeres (por no decir cientos) llorar al escuchar la canción “Señora” me conmovió. Pero más me impactó ver a Rocío cantar una canción sin micrófono, proyectando la voz hasta la última fila de la segunda planta del teatro en agradecimiento a esa ovación.
Solo a ella la he visto cantar 3 horas ( que para un solista es muchísimo) y al final el público no la dejaba ir. Fué una experiencia inconmensurable de entrega total tanto de parte de la cantante como del público. Increíble. Sobrehumana. Única.
Por algo la llaman “La Más Grande “.

Que pena que esta canción (sin demeritar la presentación de Rosalía) sea más conocida por ella que por Rocío Jurado.
