Guardián del Cementerio
margarita lugue Lyrics

The lyrics of "Guardian del Cementerio" by Margarita Luján speak about death and the preparations that have been made for the singer's funeral. The singer talks about how the orchestra that will accompany her when she dies has already been contracted, paid, and cancelled. The fact that the orchestra has been cancelled may suggest that the singer is well aware of when she is going to die. The singer then addresses a lover who she predicts will not come to see her after she dies, as they have never loved her. The lover will then play the hypocrite and pretend to have loved her, causing the singer to express disdain towards such behaviour. In the final verse, the singer discusses how she has spoken to the guardian of the cemetery and made arrangements for her tomb to be looked after. The conversation with the guardian took place while drinking and singing, adding an element of irony to the situation.

The song "Guardian del Cementerio" is a mournful ballad that delves into themes of death, love and deceit. The lyrics are characterised by dark humour and irony, making it a satirical commentary on the mourning process. The use of prearranged funeral services like the orchestra and the caretaker of the cemetery highlight the inevitability of death and the desire to have control over its consequences.
