Que si te quiero

The song 'Que si te quiero' by Sevillanas Rocieras is a traditional Spanish song that delves into the theme of concealed love and the complexities of expressing one's true feelings. The lyrics repeatedly affirm the singer's love for someone named Dolores, but this declaration is followed by an admission that the singer lies to others about this love. The phrase 'ole ole Dolores' is a typical Andalusian expression of enthusiasm or encouragement, which adds a cultural layer to the song, reflecting its roots in the Sevillanas, a folk music style from Seville, often associated with the region's fairs and religious festivals.

The singer's internal conflict is evident as they acknowledge their love ('que sí te quiero') but also their reluctance to reveal the truth to the inquiring public ('la mentira le digo, la verdad niego'). This could suggest a forbidden or socially unacceptable love, or perhaps a personal struggle with vulnerability. The repetition of 'la gente me pregunta' (the people ask me) indicates a societal pressure or curiosity about the singer's love life, which they choose to protect with lies ('mentira siempre').

The song captures the tension between private emotions and public scrutiny, a universal experience where individuals may feel compelled to hide their true feelings due to fear of judgment or repercussions. The artist's use of traditional Sevillanas Rocieras style imbues the song with a sense of authenticity and cultural significance, making it resonate with listeners familiar with the genre.
