Maria Elena Walsh died, singer and writer with great production in the 60s and 70s in Spain known especially for the children's songs that Rosa Leon sang.Recently I was hearing his compilation of "Maricastaña Time Songs", magnificent, like everything he recorded.Anyway ... I leave your most famous song, and that is still current:
So many times they killed me,
I die so many times,
However I am here,
resuscitating.
Thanks I give misfortune
and on hand with dagger
Because it killed me so badly,
And I kept singing.
So many times they erased me,
so many disappeared,
To my own funeral I was
alone and crying.
I made a knot in the handkerchief
But I forgot later
That was not the only time,
And I kept singing.
So many times they killed you,
You will resurrect,
So many nights you will spend
desperate.
At the time of shipwreck
and that of darkness
Someone will rescue you
To sing.
Singing to the sun like the cicada
After a year under the earth,
Same as a survivor
that returns from the war.
