Advertencia
Rocio Jurado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En esta vida y que en la tuya
Tambien soy poca cosa.
Un suspiro en tu angustia
Construida y en tu jardin
Un petalo de rosa.
Yo busco sin embargo darte
De mis manos, con estrella y nubes
Y mar profundo, fundido lo divino
Con lo malo.
Y tu como veleta dislocada
Gira sobre mi torre a cuelquier
Viento que te trae una caricia
Mal pagada.
Tu tienes a mi amor tan mal
Herido que se puede morir en
Un momento.
Y entonces, y entonces ya veras
Lo que has perdido.
Y entonces ya veras lo que has
Perdido.
The lyrics of Rocío Jurado's song Advertencia speak of the singer's awareness that they are insignificant in life, both in their own and their love interest's. Despite this, they yearn to offer them a world built with the hard work of their hands, adorned with stars, clouds, and a vast ocean that fuses the divine with the negative. The singer consoles themself with the thought of being a mere rose petal in their love interest's constructed garden.
However, the love interest seems to be disoriented like a dislocated weather vane, swiveling and spinning at whatever wind brings them a poorly compensated affection. They have hurt the singer's love so deeply that it could die any minute. The singer seems to be warning their love interest that they will miss them when they are gone and see what they have lost.
Overall, the song is a plea to a lover who is not appreciating the singer's affections and a warning that they will regret losing them when it is too late.
