El baile ya ha comenzado
allá por Santiago del Estero
retumba toda la siesta
el repicar de un bombo legüero
De fiesta toda la noche
al dulce brillo de las estrellas
bailaba la Telesita
que era la danza, que era la reina
Nochecitas santiagueñas
ardientes, puras noches de plata
la luna sobre del monte
la luz brillante se desparrama
Que baile la Telesita
dulce y fragante como las flores
gritaba la paisanada
emborrachada de amores
Que busca la pobrecita
tal vez la danza le da un consuelo
tu pollera remolino
tus pies descalzos, trompo de fuego
Telesita, Telesita
te has vuelto lluvia, te has vuelto luna
te has vuelto flor de los campos
te has vuelto brisa que me perfuma
Han pasado muchos años
pero tu pueblo nunca te olvida
Bailando en los rezabailes
Para que tu alma siga encendida
Que baile la Telesita
dulce y fragante como las flores
gritaba la paisanada
emborrachada de amores.
Haydée Mercedes Sosa (1935-2009) was an Argentine singer, considered an icon of Latin American popular music. Born in Tucumán, she began her career in the 1960s singing folk and traditional Argentine songs. Her powerful and emotive voice, along with her dedication to the fight for civil rights and peace, made her a prominent cultural and social figure in Argentina and worldwide. Sosa distinguished herself by interpreting songs by songwriters like Atahualpa Yupanqui and Víctor Jara, but she also composed some of her most famous songs, such as "Gracias a la vida" and "Alfombra verde". During the Argentine military dictatorship (1976-1983), Sosa openly opposed the regime, going into exile in several countries. After the fall of the regime, she returned to Argentina and continued to sing until her death in 2009. Mercedes Sosa is remembered as a powerful and unforgettable voice that has inspired generations of musicians and activists.
