Hola, estimados amigos de Hive Open Mic

Retornando por aca, feliz de haber vuelto después de unos problemas intensos con la internet.
La canción que quiero compartir esta semana se llama "Carito". Sus compositores son Antonio Tárrago Ros y
León Gieco. Esta canción tiene como ritmo base el Chamamé (ritmo folclórico argentino y está compuesto en
6/8 lo que me llevó a hacerlo en 3/4, ritmo de vals venezolano. No es dificl esta adaptación ya que, el 6/8 y el 3/4
tienen una rítmica muy parecida que incluso suele confundir a aquel que no está habituado a tocarlo con frecuencia.

Carito, es una canción que habla de una persona de la provincia que deja su río, su montaña y su flora para venirse a
la ciudad y que en este contexto, utiliza la mentira al hablar acerca de su origen y las cosas hermosas que hasta ese
entonces formaron parte de su vida.

La canción hace una reflexión acerca de esta actitud equívoca, que además lo lleva a estar solo, a llorar. La letra también
nos presenta la actitud solidaria y hermosa de alguien que le ofrece su amistad para que de alguna manera tenga una reencuentro consigo mismo y sus raíces.

Realmente espero la disfruten...

Hello, dear friends of Hive Open Mic

I'm back here, happy to be back after some intense internet problems.
The song I want to share this week is called “Carito”. It's composers are Antonio Tárrago Ros and
León Gieco. This song is based on Chamamé (Argentine folkloric rhythm) and it is composed in
6/8 which led me to make it in 3/4, Venezuelan waltz rhythm. It is not difficult this adaptation because the 6/8 and the 3/4
have a very similar rhythmic pattern that even confuses those who are not used to play it frequently.

Carito, is a song that speaks of a person of the province that leaves its river, its mountain and its flora to come to the city.
the city and in this context, uses lies to talk about his origin and the beautiful things that until then were part of his life.
then were part of his life.

The song makes a reflection about this equivocal attitude, which also leads him to be alone, to cry. The lyrics also
The lyrics also present us with the beautiful and supportive attitude of someone who offers his friendship so that he can somehow have a reunion with himself and his roots.

I really hope you enjoy it...

Lyrics

Sitting alone on a bench in the city
with your gaze remembering the coastline
your fate wanted to be broken
half truth, half lie,
as the promised hope of the poor.

Walking alone under the gray drizzle
pretending hard that your life was from here
because you changed a sea of people
where the flower rules
see that the river never gave away the color.

Carito, let go your sorrow,
let your tear become a diamond
between my strings.
Carito, let go your stone
to fly like the thrush
in springtime.

In Buenos Aires shoes are modern
but they don't look as they do in a town square
let your little light
speak secretly to the song
so that the sun will illuminate you a little more.

Any seed, when it is a plant, wants to see
the same star of that evening
that saved it from the sharp beak
sheltering it in the dark
of the razing seagull of the furrows.

Carito, I am your friend,
I offer myself as a tree
for your nest.
Carito, release your song,
that the fan in my accordion
is waiting for it.
