- La Cigarra Lyrics / with translationsRay Perez Y Soto
Ya no me cantes cigarra
Que acabe tu sonsonete
Que tu canto aqui en el alma
Como un punal se me mete
Sabiendo que cuando cantas
Pregonando vas tu muerte.
Marinero marinero
Dime si es verdad que sabes
Porque distinguir no puedo
Si en el fondo de los mares
Hay otro color mas negro
Que el color de mis pesares.
Un palomito al volar
Que llevaba el pecho herido
Ya casi para llorar
Me dijo muy afligido.
Ya me canso de buscar
Un amor correspondido.
Bajo la sombra de un arbol
Y al compas de mi guitarra
Canto alegre este huapango
Porque la vida se acaba
Y quiero morir cantando
Como muere la cigarra.
Ya no me cantes cigarra
Que acabe tu sonsonete
Que tu canto aqui en el alma
Como un punal se me mete
Sabiendo que cuando cantas
Pregonando vas tu muerte.
Marinero marinero
Dime si es verdad que sabes
Porque distinguir no puedo
Si en el fondo de los mares
Hay otro color mas negro
Que el color de mis pesares.
Que llevaba el pecho herido
Ya casi para llorar
Me dijo muy afligido.
Ya me canso de buscar
Un amor correspondido.
Bajo la sombra de un arbol
Y al compas de mi guitarra
Canto alegre este huapango
Porque la vida se acaba
Y quiero morir cantando
Como muere la cigarra.

When we take a closer look to the meaning, Linda Ronstadt's 'La Cigarra' mirrors the life and death in a beautiful but sad way, applying the cicada's song as a metaphor for the prettiness and the ultimate death. La cigarra lyrics largely focus on reflection, heartbreak, and despair, but also the inspirations that may arise from these feelings. The song points out, however, that despair and sorrow, love, and acceptance of life's impermanence are such essential things in life that one can never get rid of them. Melancholy, unreciprocated love, and death are among the topics of the lyrics, which could be understood better by adults. The choice of words and the use of imagery are quite artistic and powerful, so a PG rating for parental guidance is the most appropriate one.
