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.
Ven y ven
Rocío Jurado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mi amor se muere lentamente
Cuando siente que tú,
Te alejas, te alejas y te alejas
Y no vienes cuando tú,
Te alejas y no vienes.
Los rincones de mi alma
De caricias ya soñadas
Y de falsos sentimientos.
Y yo no quiero llenarlos
Sólo con besos de sueños
De ilusiones y promesas
De amores de pensamiento.
Ven, ven y ven.
Mi amor se muere lentamente
Cuando siente que tú,
Te alejas, te alejas y te alejas
Y no vienes cuando tú,
Te alejas y no vienes.
Que es mi condena
Sólo son penas, dime tú,
Que hago yo Dios mío
Si tú no estás a mi vera.
Y que quisera yo
Llenarte de amor
Que más quisiera
Por darte yo te daría
Yo te daría mi vida entera.
Ven, ven y ven.
Mi amor se muere lentamente
Cuando siente que tú,
Te alejas, te alejas y te alejas
Y no vienes cuando tú,
Te alejas y no vienes.
El aire con mis suspiro
Loco se vuelve cuando te miro
Y va lleno de 'te quiero'
De tus 'te quiero' y los míos.
The lyrics of Rocío Jurado's song Ven y ven express a longing for a lover to stay and not leave. The repetition of the phrase "ven y ven" throughout the song serves as a plea for the lover to return and not continue to distance themselves. The singer notes that their love is slowly dying as they feel the lover slipping away. The corners of their soul are filled with memories of past dreams and false emotions, and they do not want to fill them with empty promises and illusions.
The singer expresses their desire to fill the lover with love and give them their whole life, but they feel helpless and lost without them. They ask God what they should do without the lover by their side. The last verse expresses that the air itself becomes consumed with both the singer and lover's "te quiero" ("I love you") as they struggle with their feelings of longing.
One possible interpretation of the song could be that it is an expression of the pain and sadness that comes with the end of a relationship and the desperate desire to bring back what was lost. The repetition of "ven y ven" could also represent the cyclical nature of relationships and the singer's fear that they will continue to repeat the same pattern of falling in love and losing it.
Overall, Ven y ven is a heartfelt and emotional song about the pain of lost love and the desperate desire to hold onto what was once cherished.

Me encanta esta canción. Deberían haberle dado más promoción. Por cierto, a ver cuándo suben este disco a Spotify. Es de los pocos que faltan de Rocío.
