A soulful song about love and nostalgia for the past adolescence. The delicacy and beauty of Susana Baca s voice makes her one of today s most popular Latin American singers. She is renowned as an interpreter of contemporary Afro-Peruvian music, the intimate lando and samba rhythms of her country. Here she sings the love lyrics of Latin Americas greatest 20th century poet: Chilean Nobel Prize winner Pablo Neruda. This theme is taken from the Lamento Negro album (Tumi 104), which won Latin Grammy.
Matilde , I love you and miss you and only want five things from live; love for eternity, seeing autumn, the winter, summer and my eyes.
Now leave me alone. Now get used to it without me. My beloved Matilde, my beloved Matilde. I am going to close my eyes and I only want five things, five favourite roots. One is endless love. My beloved Matilde, my beloved Matilde. The second is to see autumn. It cannot be without the leaves flying and returning to the earth, flying and returning to the earth. My beloved Matilde, my beloved Matilde. The third is the great winter, the rain that I loved, the caress of the fire in the wild cold, of the fire in the wild cold. My beloved Matilde, my beloved Matilde. In fourth place is summer. The fifth thing is your eyes, I do not want to sleep without your eyes, I do not want to be without you looking. My beloved Matilde, my beloved Matilde.
Ahora me dejen tranquilo.
Ahora se acostumbren sin mí.
Matilde mía, bien amada,
Matilde mía, bien amada.
Voy a cerrar los ojos y
solo quiero cinco cosas,
cinco raíces preferidas.
Una es el amor sin fin.
Matilde mía, bien amada,
Matilde mía, bien amada.
Lo segundo es ver el otoño.
No puede ser sin que las hojas
vuelen y vuelvan a la tierra,
vuelen y vuelvan a la tierra.
Matilde mía, bien amada,
Matilde mía, bien amada.
Lo tercero es el gran invierno,
la lluvia que amé, la caricia
del fuego en el frío silvestre,
del fuego en el frío silvestre.
Matilde mía, bien amada,
Matilde mía, bien amada.
En cuarto lugar el verano.
La quinta cosa son tus ojos,
no quiero dormir sin tus ojos,
no quiero ser sin que mires.
Matilde mía bien amada,
Matilde mía bien amada.
