LA MAZA
Si no creyera en la locura
de la garganta del cirzonte
si no creyera que en el monte
se esconde el trino y la pavura.
Si no creyera en la balanza
en la razon del equilibrio
si no creyera en el delirio
si no creyera en la esperanza.
Si no creyera en lo que agencio
si no creyera en mi camino
si no creyera en mi sonido
si no creyera en mi silencio.
Que cosa fuera
Que cosa fuera la maza sin cantera
un amacijo hecho de cuerdas y tendones
un revoltijo de carne con madera
un instrumento sin mejores resplandores
que lucecitas montadas para escena
que cosa fuera -corazon- que cosa fuera
que cosa fuera la maza sin cantera
un testaferro del traidor de los aplausos
un servidor de pasado en copa nueva
un eternizador de dioses del ocaso
jubilo hervido con trapo y lentejuela
que cosa fuera -corazon- que cosa fuera
que cosa fuera la maza sin cantera
que cosa fuera -corazon- que cosa fuera
que cosa fuera la maza sin cantera.
Si no creyera en lo mas duro
si no creyera en el deseo
si no creyera en lo que creo
si no ceyera en algo puro.
Si no creyera en cada herida
si no creyera en la que ronde
si no creyera en lo que esconde
hacerse hermano de la vida.
Si no creyera en quien me escucha
si no creeyera en lo que duele
si no creyera en lo que queda
si no creyera en lo que lucha.
Que cosa fuera...
The lyrics LA MAZA of MERCEDES SOSA is also present in the album Exitos eternos (2005)
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.
