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) è stata una cantante argentina, considerata un'icona della musica popolare latinoamericana. Nata a Tucumán, iniziò la sua carriera negli anni '60 cantando folk e canzoni tradizionali argentiniane. La sua voce potente e emozionante, insieme alla sua dedizione alla lotta per i diritti civili e la pace, la resero una figura di grande rilievo culturale e sociale in Argentina e nel mondo. Sosa si distinse per l'interpretazione di brani di cantautori come Atahualpa Yupanqui e Víctor Jara, ma compose anche alcune delle sue canzoni più famose, come "Gracias a la vida" e "Alfombra verde". Durante la dittatura militare argentina (1976-1983), Sosa si schierò apertamente contro il regime, esiliandosi in diverse nazioni. Tornata in Argentina dopo la caduta del regime, continuò a cantare fino alla sua morte nel 2009. Mercedes Sosa è ricordata come una voce potente e indimenticabile che ha ispirato generazioni di musicisti e attivisti.
