“Corazón De Poeta” paints a luminous portrait of a person whose very being is a swirl of contrasts and poetry. Jeanette describes her muse as tender as a flower, as melodious as a bird, and as radiant as an April full moon, yet also as sturdy as a wind-battered tree. This mysterious someone carries a poet’s heart: they can love with wild abandon and sink into deep sadness, roam like a carefree vagabond, or reflect the innocent wonder of a child. Every line celebrates those contradictions, suggesting that true artistry lives in the space where vulnerability meets resilience.
The singer is completely captivated by this blend of innocence and passion. She delights in the “arrogance of the sun” shining in her lover’s candid eyes, the way snow-white skin turns to fire in proximity to love, and the dreamy walks they share under star-filled skies. In short, Jeanette is telling us that a heart full of poetry may be unpredictable, but it is also endlessly inspiring—and that is exactly why she cherishes it.
Jeanette is an English-born Spanish singer whose tender voice helped define Spanish pop ballads of the 70s and 80s. She first broke through as the teenage lead of folk-pop group Pic-Nic with “Cállate, niña”, then relaunched solo with the wistful hit “Soy rebelde”.
Her signature song "Porque te vas" reached international fame after featuring in Carlos Saura’s film Cría cuervos in 1976, turning her into a household name across Europe and Latin America. She followed with the album Corazón de poeta in 1981, which yielded favorites like “Frente a frente” and “El muchacho de los ojos tristes.” Today she enjoys cult status and is cited as an influence on Spanish-language indie pop, with renewed attention from the documentary Soy rebelde.
