Zamba para no morir - Mercedes Sosa
Romperá la tarde mi voz hasta el eco de ayer
Voy quedándome solo al final,
muerto de sed, harto de andar,
Pero sigo creciendo en el sol vivo.
Era un tiempo viejo la flor la madera frutal,
Luego el hacha se puso a golpear,
verse caer, solo rodar,
Pero el árbol reverdecerá nuevo.
Al quemarse en el cielo la luz del día, me voy,
Con el cuero asombrado me iré,
ronco al gritar que volveré.
Repartido en el aire a cantar, siempre.
Mi razón no pide piedad, se dispone a partir
No me asusta la muerte ritual,
sólo dormir, verme borrar,
Una historia me recordará vivo.
Veo el campo, el fruto, la miel
y estas ganas de amar
No me puede el olvido vencer,
hoy como ayer, siempre llegar,
En el hijo se puede volver nuevo.
Al quemarse en el cielo la luz del día, me voy
Con el cuero asombrado me iré,
ronco al gritar que volveré.
Repartido en el aire a cantar, siempre.
Haydée Mercedes Sosa (9 July 1935 – 4 October 2009), known as La Negra (literally: The Black One), was an Argentine singer who was popular throughout South America and some countries outside the continent. With her roots in Argentine folk music, Sosa became one of the preeminent exponents of nueva canción. She gave voice to songs written by both Brazilians and Cubans. She was best known as the "voice of the voiceless ones".
Sosa performed in venues such as the Lincoln Center in New York City, the Théâtre Mogador in Paris and the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, as well as sell-out shows in New York's Carnegie Hall and the Roman Coliseum during her final decade of life. Her career spanned four decades and she has been the recipient of several Grammy awards and nominations, including three nominations which will be decided posthumously. She served as an ambassador for UNICEF.
