Al museo de Sevilla iba a diario Juan Miguel
Y, por las tardes, como una rosa de los jardines que hay a la 'entr'
Pintaba Trini, pura y hermosa, como si fuera 'La Inmacul'
Y deca el chavalillo:
"'Pa' qu voy a entrar ah
Si es la virgen de Murillo
La que tengo frente a m"
Trini, mi Trini,
La de la Puerta Real,
Carita de nazarena,
Con la virgen Macarena
Yo te tengo 'compar'
'Argo' tu vida envenena
Que tienes en la 'mir'
Que no me parece buena, Trini
Ay, Trini, mi Trini, ay Trini!
El museo sevillano un mal da visit
Un banquero americano que de Trini se prend
Y con el brillo de los diamantes
La sevillana 'que' ceg
Y entre los brazos de aquel amante
Huy de Espaa la Trini
Y ante el cuadro no 'acabao'
As deca el pintor
"T me has hecho un 'desgraciao'
Sin ti qu voy a hacer yo"
Trini, mi Trini,
La de la Puerta Real,
Carita de nazarena,
Con la virgen Macarena
Yo te tengo 'compar'
'Argo' tu vida envenena
Que tienes en la 'mir'
Que no me parece buena, Trini
Ay, Trini, mi Trini, mi Trini!
Ay, Trini, mi Trini, ay Trini!
The song "Triniá" by Rocio Jurado tells the story of a young woman named Trini who paints beautiful portraits in her spare time. She is described as pure and beautiful, like the Immaculate Conception, and is compared to the famous statue of the Virgin Mary in Seville's Macarena Basilica. Trini's paintings catch the eye of an American banker who becomes infatuated with her and persuades her to leave Spain with him. The artist who had been painting Trini's portrait for years, Juan Miguel, is left heartbroken and devastated by her departure.
The lyrics of the song capture the beauty of Seville and its famous art museums, with references to the masterpieces of Murillo and Rafael. But the focus ultimately shifts to the tragic love story of Trini and Juan Miguel. The chorus expresses his enduring affection for her, despite the fact that she has left him behind. The line "Argo' tu vida envenena" ("something poisons your life") suggests that Trini's departure represented a turning point in her life, perhaps leading to a greater emphasis on money and material possessions at the expense of her artistic purity.
Overall, the song paints a vivid picture of the cultural and emotional life of Seville, and the ways in which love, art, and money intersect in the lives of its inhabitants.
