The Playful Dance of Choices in 'Matarile-rile-ro'

The song 'Matarile-rile-ro' by Carita de Ángel is a playful and rhythmic tune that delves into the theme of choice and preference. The repetitive and catchy chorus 'Matarile rile ro' serves as a whimsical backdrop to a series of questions and answers about selecting a role or occupation. The song's structure mimics a traditional children's game or nursery rhyme, where participants take turns making choices and responding to them.

The lyrics begin with a declaration of love and a request for a page, a term that historically refers to a young attendant or servant. The song then progresses through a series of proposed roles for the chosen individual, each met with a playful rejection. The roles suggested—laundress, ironer, and embroiderer—are traditional and often gendered occupations, reflecting societal expectations. However, the chosen individual rejects each of these roles, indicating a desire for something more fitting or prestigious.

The climax of the song arrives when the role of 'queen' is proposed, which is finally accepted with enthusiasm. This acceptance can be seen as a metaphor for self-worth and the desire for recognition and respect. The laughter at the end of the song adds a light-hearted and joyful tone, emphasizing the playful nature of the entire exchange. Carita de Ángel's rendition of 'Matarile-rile-ro' captures the essence of childhood innocence and the universal quest for identity and acceptance.
