Mi guitarra

The song "Mi guitarra" by Sevillanas Rocieras is a heartfelt ode to a guitar that is much more than a musical instrument; it is a companion and a vessel of emotion and tradition. The lyrics personify the guitar, attributing it with a heart and the ability to share in the experiences of the singer. The repeated line, 'La guitarra que compré, lleva dentro un corazón,' emphasizes the deep connection between the artist and their instrument, suggesting that the guitar possesses its own soul and is an integral part of the singer's life.

The mention of 'Rocío' refers to the Romería de El Rocío, a famous pilgrimage in Andalusia, Spain, which culminates in the village of El Rocío. The song celebrates the guitar's role in this cultural event, highlighting how it 'se emociona en el Quema, como cualquier peregrino,' indicating that the guitar is moved just like any other pilgrim when crossing the Quema river, a significant moment in the pilgrimage. This connection to the Romería de El Rocío imbues the song with a sense of tradition and regional pride.

Finally, the song speaks to the communal aspect of music and its ability to uplift spirits. The guitar is portrayed as enjoying 'las sevillanas de siempre,' traditional folk music from Seville, and the singer expresses a desire for the guitar to stay in El Rocío to continue bringing joy through music. The song is a celebration of cultural identity, the joy of shared experiences, and the profound bond between a musician and their instrument.
