Amor Marinero
Rocio Jurado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
me lo trajo un marinero,
con la boquita de fresa, caray,
y los ojitos de cielo.
Besos de ron y de menta
en estos labios me da.
Y estoy echando la cuenta, caray,
Mis brazos son las amarras
de tu querer, marinero.
Yo soy la bahia,
tú eres el velero.
No me dejes niño
que sin tu querer me muero.
Si piensas darme de lao, caray,
yo te lo aviso primero,
que tengo número dao, caray,
a cinco o seis marineros.
Tanto tenderle los celos
como una red de pescar,
que se ha tragao el anzuelo, caray,
y me tiene secuestrá
The song "Amor Marinero" by Rocio Jurado is a beautiful ballad about a woman who is deeply in love with a sailor. The opening lyrics talk about a silk handkerchief that was brought to her by the sailor, who has a sweet mouth and beautiful eyes. She goes on to describe the kisses he gives her, which taste like rum and mint. She is counting the days until he returns from sea, so that she can be in his arms once again.
The chorus of the song paints a beautiful metaphorical picture of their love: she is the bay and he is the sailboat. She is anchored to him, and cannot live without his love. She warns him not to leave her, as she has already been pursued by five or six other sailors. She is completely consumed by her love for him, as if she has been caught in a fishing net.
The song is a beautiful and romantic representation of the kind of love that is often experienced by those who are left behind when their loved ones go to sea. It captures the longing, desire, and passion that comes with being away from someone that you care deeply about. The lyrics are poetic and full of metaphors, making it a truly beautiful piece of music.

This silk handkerchief, oh my,

of your love, sailor.
I am the bay,
you are the sailboat.
Don't leave me, boy,
without your love I'll die.

If you plan on cheating on me, oh my,
I'm warning you beforehand,

with five or six other sailors.
Tanto tenderle los celos

y me tiene secuestrá

like a fishing net,
and he took the bait, oh my,
and now he has me trapped.
