Señora, Señora
Dulce María
A Melodic Tribute to Maternal Love and Strength
The song "Señora, Señora" by Dulce María is a heartfelt tribute to the profound and multifaceted role of a mother. The lyrics express deep gratitude and admiration for the sacrifices and love that a mother provides throughout her life. The song begins by acknowledging the physical and emotional toll of motherhood, from the pain and fatigue of pregnancy to the relentless fight to protect and nurture her family. The reference to a mother as a 'rosa fresca de abril' and a 'fiel querubín' uses floral and angelic imagery to convey her beauty and purity.
The chorus of the song is a dedication of the singer's achievements, respect, and essence to her mother, highlighting the deep bond and reverence she holds for her. The repetition of 'señora, señora, señora' emphasizes the respect and honor attributed to the mother figure. The song further describes the mother as an invincible warrior and a tireless fighter, acknowledging her strength and resilience. The term 'mi amiga constante de todas las horas' portrays the mother not only as a parent but also as a constant companion and friend.
In the final verses, the artist personalizes the song by revealing that the 'señora' she speaks of is her own mother, whom she affectionately calls 'mi amiga gaviota' (my friend the seagull). This metaphor may suggest the mother's freedom, grace, and the ability to soar above life's challenges. The simplicity of the mother's name being as 'common as daisies' contrasts with the extraordinary nature of her character, emphasizing that the greatness of a mother is not in her name but in her actions and the love she gives. The song ends with a tender repetition of 'mi madre,' underscoring the personal and universal significance of the maternal figure.
