Mi ovejita lucera
Joaquin Sabina · Querido Sabina [1986]
que de campanillas le he puesto un collar.
Tengo yo una ovejita Lucera
que de campanillas le he puesto un collar.
Yo la llamo ella viene a mi vera
corriendo ligera con este cantar.
Yo la llamo ella viene a mi vera
corriendo ligera con este cantar.
Me gusta cuando bala la ovejita: "beee,"
y cuando le responde el corderito: "baaa,"
Me sabe a musiquilla celestial ese dulce balar.
Me gustan en las fiestas del lugar
los cohetes que al subir hacen: "xiuuu,"
hacen "pum" y hacen "pam"
los demás a mi plin, a mi plin los demás.
Mi ovejita se ha roto una pata
que lata, que lata, que no puede andar.
Mi ovejita se ha roto una pata
que lata, que lata, que no puede andar.
Yo le digo pobrecita mía que esta todo
el día diciéndome: "baaa,"
Mi ovejita lucera
Joaquín Sabina's "Mi ovejita lucera" stands as a poignant centerpiece on his 1986 album *Querido Sabina*, embodying the folk-rock sensibilities that defined his early career. The track blends traditional Spanish storytelling with a modern, acoustic arrangement, characteristic of Sabina's ability to weave personal narrative with broader cultural themes. Released during a period where he was refining his signature style, the song reflects his deep engagement with Spanish folklore and social commentary. Its enduring appeal lies in its melodic simplicity and emotional resonance, capturing the essence of a nation's musical heritage while maintaining a distinctly individual voice. The recording remains a testament to Sabina's skill in transforming traditional motifs into timeless compositions that continue to resonate with audiences across generations.
