La página de sucesos
del Mercurio y La Estafeta,
entre dietas para obesos,
presos y falsos profetas,
confirmaba que sin besos
se marchitan las violetas.
Sí.
Maldigo del alto cielo
que nos expropió su canto,
sus décimas, su pañuelo,
su quinchamalí, su llanto,
viola de chicha y pomelo,
cacerolas del espanto.
Sí.
Habráse visto insolencia,
cinismo y alevosía,
contaminan la decencia,
secuestran la fantasía,
cuando clama la inocencia
llaman a la policía.
Sí.
Lo dijo Violeta Parra,
hermana de Nicanor,
por suerte tengo guitarra
y sin presumir de voz,
si me invitan a una farra
cuenten con mi corazón.
Sí.
Volaron desde Chicago
unos gringos con corbata
y en una suite de Santiago,
sin pisar Chuquicamata,
defecaron en mi pago,
sobraban las serenatas.
Sí.
Más sola que una maleta
olvidada en la Gran Vía,
desde que se fue Violeta
enlutando la poesía,
se ensañan con los poetas
las faltas de ortografía.
Sí.
La cuequita de mi Chile,
los listos de Guasingtón,
la marchitan con fusiles
que acribillan la razón,
malaya sean los desfiles
y el cristo que los parió.
Sí.
Los pobres no somos ricos
ni el cobre es más que la greda,
la libertad cierra el pico
desde que hay toque de queda,
pregúntale a los milicos
qué hicieron en La Moneda.
Sí.
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.
