The Voice of Argentina: Carolina Peleritti’s Spectacular Concert

I went to a concert by Carolina Peleritti in Tokyo. She came all the way from her hometown, Argentina, to perform for us. Before becoming a renowned singer, she was a popular actress and fashion model, and now she is one of the most important singers in Argentina. As embarrassing as it is to admit, I didn’t know much about her beforehand. However, after hearing her sing, I completely understood why she’s regarded as one of the finest performers—some even call her the second coming of Mercedes Sosa.

Carolina has an incredibly expressive voice, and she performed a variety of traditional folklore songs. Her music felt as if it were speaking directly to me, evoking the magnificent natural landscapes of Argentina. I truly enjoyed the experience. One song, in particular, “El Sueño” by Francisco Martino, left a lasting impression on me. Her amazing voice was a perfect match for the song’s beautiful lyrics.

EL SUEÑO

Anoche mientras dormía del cansancio fatigado,
no sé qué sueño adorado cruzó por la mente mía.
Soñé de que te veía y vos me estabas mirando,
que yo te estaba contando mi vida triste, muy triste,
y que desapareciste al despertarme llorando.

Volví a conciliar el sueño después de pasado un rato,
pero otra vez tu retrato lo vi con mayor empeño.
Soñé de que era tu dueño y que vos me acariciabas,
que muchos besos me dabas llenos de inmenso cariño
y que otra vez cual un niño llorando me despertaba.

¡Ay! qué sueño delicioso y bello en la realidad,
lindo es soñar, es verdad, mas despertar doloroso.
Ver el cambio pavoroso que se encierra en el sendero,
deseo soñarte, pero tengo el alma desgarrada,
quisiera soñar, mi amada, que junto a tu lado muero.
