Mercedes Sosa & Milton Nascimento - Volver a los 17

Absolutely beautiful ! lindissima!

I was luck enough to get a big hug from Mercedes, Teatro Castro Alves, Salvador, Ba 1978.

REST IN PEACE MERCEDES!

Mercedes vive!

Fique com Deus, Espírito Elevado!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jonas-São Paulo-SP/Brasil

Rest in peace, Mercedes.

She had a voice that transcends geographical
boundaries or even language. I don't even know
Spanish and this is incredibly beautiful. Is there
anyone who can translate a bit of the meaning of
these lyrics? They sound very poetic.

It's poetic. It's talking about become old...using the vision of some teenager. The poem is Violeta Parra's...The first phrase: "Returning to the seventeen's,
after living a century ,
it's like deciphering signs ,
without being wise,
To be suddenly, as fragile as a second,
Backing to feel so deeply, as a boy in front of God,
That's what I feel now, in this precious moment...". In private i send you the rest of lyric.

impossible to translate its a very deep love song ....

Mercedes viverá sempre entre nós. Seu espírito de luta presente em sua bela voz deve nos inspirar sempre na construção de uma sociedade melhor e mais justa.
Angel

Vá con Dios
El america llora su muerte

Vivi meus 17 e volto a ele agora. Vá com Deus.
