Señora
Rocio Jurado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Señora
Ya era tarde para echar atrás
Señora
Yo era parte de su vida
Y él mi sombra
Cuando supe que existía usted
Ya mi mundo era sólo él
Señora
Ya llevaba dentro de mi ser
Su aroma
Él me dijo que era libre
Como el mismo aire
Que era libre
Como las palomas
Que era libre
Y yo lo creí
Ahora es tarde, señora
Ahora es tarde, señora
Ahora nadie puede apartarlo de mí
Él me dijo que era libre
Como el vagabundo
Que era libre
Como la hoja seca
Que era libre
Ahora es tarde, señora
Ahora es tarde, señora
Ahora nadie puede apartarlo de mí
The song Señora by Rocío Jurado tells a story of a woman who discovers that the man she loves is already taken by someone else. The lyrics express regret and sorrow for not realizing the truth earlier and for being a part of a love triangle. The beginning of the song sets the scene, with the singer expressing that when she discovered the truth about the man she loved and his other relationship, it was already too late to turn back. She was already a part of his life and he was like her shadow. She addresses the other woman, whom she calls “señora” (meaning “madam” in English), and acknowledges that she was already in love with him when she found out about the other woman.
The next verse reveals that the other woman is now the man’s only focus, and the singer’s world revolves around him. She confesses that she carries the aroma of the man within her being, which indicates that she is unable to move on from him completely. The man had told her that he was a free spirit, like the air or the birds, and she had believed him. However, it is now too late for her to change things, and she mourns over the fact that she cannot separate herself from him. The repetition of “ahora es tarde” (now it’s too late) emphasizes the singer’s regret and resignation.
Overall, Señora is a poignant song that highlights the pain of being in love with someone who is not available. It is a classic example of heartbreak and longing, and Rocío Jurado’s emotional delivery of the lyrics adds to the song’s emotional impact.

Mi amor platónico !!!. Amé a esa señora con el alma , aun no habiéndola nunca visto !!!. Todavía la amo !!!La mejor de todas !!!. Temperamento más a flor de piel que ese no he sentido jamás !!!. Voz como esa nunca la he oído ni ser que cante más con el alma!!!!. Soy escritor y escribo en varias estrofas poéticas . Le hice una décima a Rocío Jurado , que aquí transcribo :
Para Rocío Jurado
Por el extasis camino
sobre el cascabel ligero
de su voz. Pulsa primero
al aire. Me arroja el vino
de su mirada. Le inclino
el cáliz. Se advierte presa
de sus bordes. Vibra ilesa
deshaciendo su resguardo,
sustraída por el dardo
íntimo que la atraviesa!
