El tururururú (3ª versión)

Rolando Alarcón's 'El tururururú (3ª versión)' is a poignant and politically charged song that captures the socio-political climate of Spain during a time of turmoil. The lyrics reflect a period of hardship and discontent, marked by the transition from summer to winter, symbolizing a shift from better times to more challenging ones. The mention of the government falling soon suggests a brewing revolution or a significant political change on the horizon.

The repetitive phrase 'Que tururururú, que la culpa la tienes tú' serves as a direct accusation, pointing fingers at those responsible for the nation's suffering. This refrain underscores the frustration and anger felt by the people, who are struggling with basic necessities, as highlighted by the line 'En España nadie come ya caliente.' The imagery of making a 'funda pa' los dientes' (a cover for the teeth) further emphasizes the dire economic conditions and the lengths to which people must go to survive.

Alarcón also touches on the oppressive nature of the regime, with Spaniards being detained for any movement, reflecting a state of fear and repression. Despite these hardships, the song ends on a note of resilience and hope. 'España no ha muerto, no puede morir' signifies the undying spirit of the Spanish people and their determination to overcome adversity. The metaphor of the people and the flower not being killed by the rifle symbolizes the enduring strength and beauty of the human spirit, even in the face of brutal oppression.
