Lucecita Benitez - Cabalgata
Letra de Roberto Carlos Cabalgaré toda la noche Por una senda colorida Mis besos te daré en derroche De una manera algo atrevida Me aferraré de tus cabellos Por no caer de ese galope Voy a atender a mis anhelos Antes que el día nos sofoque Me perderé de madrugada Para encontrarte en mi abrazo Después de nuestra cabalgata Me acostaré en tu regazo Sin importarme si en ese instante Soy dominado o si domino Me sentiré como un gigante O tan pequeño como un niño Y las estrellas del lugar Se nos acercan para ver Y aún conservan su brillar Después de nuestro amanecer Y en la grandeza de ese instante Mi amor cabalga sin saber Que en la belleza de esa hora El sol espera por nacer Y las estrellas del lugar Se nos acercan para ver Y aún conservan su brillar Después de nuestro amanecer Y en la grandeza de ese instante Mi amor cabalga sin saber Que en la belleza de esa hora
This is heartbreaking. I love Mercedes Sosa, R.I.P.

ReplyDeleteI was 17 when I first listened to Mercedes Sosa sing one of Violet Parra's compositions. She became my conscience. There were songs that had images I could really relate to. There was one in particular, where she describes a man coming home from the sugar-cane plantation, covered in black smoke. There was a sugar-cane plantation in my home town. The work has been so hard his entire body was in pain. So he stopped at the local bar and ended up drinking all the money he earned that week, and passing out on the street. As a kid I saw that so often, and I guess it tore my heart up because when I heard her sing that song I was stunned.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother hated her because she saw how sad I would get and how it was changing my views on life. But she was the first artist that I can remember ever following. If I had to choose between buying a record from her or the Beatles you knew I was going to choose her.
