Me Embrujaste
Rocio Jurado Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No se por donde me vino
Este querer sin sentir,
Ni se por que desatino
Todo cambio para mi.
Por que hasta el alma se me iluminó
Con luces de aurora al anochecer,
Por qué hasta el pulso
Se me desbocó y toda mi sangre

Se puso de pie.

Me miraste, me miraste
Y toda mi noche
Oscura de pena ardió de lucero,
Me embrujaste, me embrujaste
Y un rio de copla cantó
Por mis venas tu amor verdadero.
Si estaré mi vida soñando
Y tendré que despertar
Lo que a mi me esta pasando
No es mentira ni verdad.

¿Qué me diste? ¿qué me diste?
Que asi me has cambiado
De nieve en hoguera de roja pasión
No me aleje tu vera
Que sin ti no hay pa' mi remición.
No estas viendo
Que al llamarte como loca
Desde el alma hasta la boca
Se me sube el corazón.

No se si hay otra que quiera
Con la pasión que yo a ti,
Vivir de esta manera
Más que vivir es morir,
Por que me despierto
Temblando a sola
Y miro a la calle
Desierta y sin luz,
Por que tengo la corazoná
De que vas a darme
Sentencia de cruz.

Me miraste, me miraste
Y al mundo mis ojos
De frente a los tuyos
Brillaron de celos.
Me embrujaste, me embrujaste
Y igual que la arena
Mi torre de orgullo
Vinieron al suelo.
Si será de brujería
El nectar de tu querer,
Que la luz de mi alegría
La oscurece tu con el.

¿Qué me diste? ¿qué me diste?
Que asi me has cambiado
De nieve en hoguera de roja pasión
No me aleje tu vera
Que sin ti no hay pa' mi remición.
No estas viendo
Que al llamarte como loca

Desde el alma hasta la boca
Se me sube el corazón.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rocio Jurado's song Me Embrujaste speak of a love that has overwhelmed the singer without her even realizing. She cannot explain why she suddenly feels this love and how it has changed her whole being. Her soul is illuminated, and her pulse races with her blood rushing through her veins. All of this has been possible because of the one who "embrujaste," or bewitched her, and made her world bright and beautiful.

The singer's world is full of passion and love, and she feels that nobody else can understand what she is going through, nor do they feel the way she does for her lover. She has become so entranced by this love that she is now living for the moment, and nothing else seems to matter. She fears that her dreams will be crushed once she wakes up to the reality of things. She cannot escape her feelings, which she believes will lead her to her lover's side eventually.

The lyrics speak of an undeniable bond that is so strong that it has the power to change someone's life completely. This love has the power to transform someone from a cold, lifeless snowflake into a passionate flame of red-hot love. The singer is intoxicated by the power of this love, and she begs her lover to never leave her side. It is a love that has no explanation, but it is real and all-consuming for those who experience it.
