A religious-poetic interpretation of Alejandro
I recently came across a rather poetic, smart interpretation of Lady Gaga’s song, Alejandro. Apparently, it’s not just a pop song:
Our teacher told this. Alejandro means man’s defender and protector (God.) Fernando means ardent for peace (Jesus.) Roberto means bright or shining fame (Holy Spirit.) Babe is the same as Child.
Don’t call my name, Don’t call my name, GOD.
I’m not your child, I’m not your child, Jesus
Don’t call my name, Don’t call my name, hol…y spirit.
God, just let me go. - Lady Gaga
I checked it out, and it’s valid: Alejandro is the Spanish form of the name Alexander, of which the Greek meaning is “defending men” and “protector of men”. Fernando means “ardent for peace” according to Visigothic tradition. Roberto (or plainly “Robert”) means fame or bright fame. And of course, babe also means a baby or infant. In addition, the theory sounds quite possible, seeing as the music video dealt with the acceptance of gays in the military and the church.
