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.
Si Amanece
Rocío Jurado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
que estoy dormida
cállate, cállate, cállate
déjame soñar con tus caricias
y cállate, cállate, cállate.
Si amanece y ves
que estoy desnuda
cierra la ventana
si no hay luna
y cúbreme, cúbreme, cúbreme
Si amanece y ves
que estoy despierta
porque de tu amor
aún no estoy llena
ámame otra vez
ámame otra
con las mismas fuerzas
que la primera vez
Si amanece y ves
que estoy despierta
porque de tu amor
aún no estoy llena
ámame otra vez
ámame otra vez
con las mismas fuerzas
que la primera vez.
The lyrics of Rocio Jurado's song Si Amanece (If it Dawns) are a passionate plea for uninterrupted rest and more love. The verses address three different scenarios - sleeping, naked and awake - that all become opportunities for the singer to ask her partner for specific actions. In the first stanza, she requests silence so that she can imagine his touch and continue dreaming. In the second stanza, she asks him to cover her naked body and to shut out the light to keep their intimacy private. In the last stanza, the singer is already wide awake, but she still craves more love and energy from him. She demands that he loves her with the same intensity as the first time they shared their affection.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of fierce desire and vulnerability, as if the singer is letting herself be vulnerable to her lover and trusting him to fulfill her needs. The repetition of the phrases "cállate" (shush) and "ámame otra vez" (love me again) add to the urgency and intensity of the lyrics, and emphasize the singer's longing. The imagery of sleeping, nudity and wakefulness alludes to the different states of being and the different ways we interact with the world, but in this context, they all seem to be dependent on the love and attention of the beloved.
