While in high school he met Carlos Alberto "Nito" Mestre. With him and Carlos Piegari, Beto Rodriguez and brothers formed Sui Generis Belia, who, after suffering several defections, was turned into a duet. American folk style, very fashionable at that time, they recorded three albums: "Life" (1972), "Confessions of Winter" (1973) and "little anecdotes about the institutions'. For various reasons, the duo separated in 1975, but not before organizing a farewell concert, during which there was a double album, "Goodbye Sui Generis".
In 1976 he recorded an album with Porsuigieco, along with acoustic rock leaders: Raul Porchetto, León Gieco, Nito Mestre and María Rosa Yorio.
Birds making machine is the name of his next band, an innovative project that symphonic rock shore. In his short life he had two albums released: "The Birds Making Machine" (1976) and "Movies" (1977).
Between 1978 and 1982, Garcia leads Seru Giran, one of the key bands in the National Rock. With this group released five albums: "Seru Giran" (1978), "The Fat of the Capitals' (1979)," Bicycle "(1980)," Peperina "(1981) and" Do not Cry for Me, Argentina "(1982 ).
In that same year he began his solo career. Raul de la Torre commissioned the soundtrack of his film "Pubis Angelical". Simultaneously recorded "Going from the bed to the Living." Aided by the spread that was given at that time to the National Rock through the media (during the Falklands War was forbidden to play music in English), the album was well received by the public. Songs anthologies arose from it, such as "Do not bomb Buenos Aires"
"Collective unconscious" or "I do not want to become so crazy." For this work, the band consisted of Willy Iturri on drums, guitar Bazterrica Gustavo, Puppy Lopez on bass and keyboards Andres Calamaro. This material was presented in a stunning concert - to 25,000 - in the Ferrocarril Oeste Stadium, on December 26, 1982. At the opening of the show, Charlie hit the stage on board a pink Cadillac and, in closing, a shower of missiles destroyed the city of props that formed the backdrop, while the last chord sounded "not bomb Buenos Aires".
In his next solo work ("Modern Hits", 1983), leaned more to the pop-rock, but the song is contesting a place in, for example, 'Dinosaurs'
The Garcia essential trilogy is completed with "Piano Bar" (1984), an album that has rocker in "Demolishing Hotels 'and' Strange new hairstyles" his greatest achievements.
Along with Pedro Aznar - and not without raising some nostalgia - recorded "Tango" (1986). This material was presented at the Paladium nightclub on March 26. Its spread was very low, although it gave the impression that the project was for more.
In 1987 came "part of religion", considered by many as the best album of the Garcia solo. This material was recorded and performed almost entirely by him and reciprocates a strong rock melodic choruses. It is surely one of its most prolific and compact discs, from the cover to the contents of the letters.
In 1988 after composing the soundtrack of the movie "What will come" Gustavo Mosquera (in which he also starred as a nurse), worked on his next solo album, "How To Get Girls" (1989), essentially a job collection of individual songs, which García, for various reasons, had never recorded.
To launch his next album "Barata Philosophy and Rubber Shoes" (1990), Garcia had to overcome a prosecution for "offending patriotic symbols" since that LP included a version of the Argentine National Anthem, which ultimately ended up being authorized by the courts.
1993 was a year of recording silence, but a lot of media presence. The resort in Punta del Este left several pages printed on scandals he was involved always. Followed several admissions to detoxification clinics.
By October started touring again in Ferro ending in late December. The support band, "Pocket Money" suffered the defection of Carlos Garcia Lopez and Hilda Lizarazu, both heading for their individual projects (the Lopez Garcia Band and Man Ray, respectively). Maria Gabriela Garcia called Epumer (ex-widow and daughters), to fulfill both functions, guitar and vocals.
In February of '95 was presented at the International Song Festival, the World Cup Stadium in Mar del Plata, with Paralamas, Antonio Birabent and Faithfull Marianne. Taking advantage of the fury of the acoustic performances, Garcia was presented in the series "Unplugged" of American television network MTV, with a show that included topics of all stages and was put on the air for all Latin America in July and released on CD the end of that year. The material was performed live at the Teatro Gran Rex, in late '95.
In the summer of '99 was the big draw free cycle Buenos Aires Vivo III, organized by the city government in Puerto Madero. More than 150,000 people cheered Garcia in a show dedicated to missing and recorded live for the album "Too Ego '. That same year he returned to the controversy, to organize a private recital for President Carlos Menem. That show was recorded in "Charly & Charly" limited edition disc that was released.
Three years would pass before Garcia returned to the disc, and the format of song in his creations. "Influence" (2002) was in "Your vice 'broadcast cut, but the rest of the material is far more interesting than that catchy tune but superfluous.
Already in 2003 published "Rock and Roll Yo 'court whose first broadcast" Asesiname "was very well.
After hundreds of scandals in his recitals and fights with his son Migue, Charly hopes to release "Kill Gil" in 2007. The plate, recorded in studies of Palito Ortega, located in San Juan, and mixed in New York, contains topics like "Concrete Heart", the bicolor sings a duet with Ramon "Palito" Ortega, "No matter" (which had already sounded several times live) and covers of John Lennon ("Watching the Wheels" Castilian adaptation of "Watching the Wheels") and Stones ("Play with Fire", sung by producer Andrew Loog Oldham)....
Solo Dios sabe
Charly Garcia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
este inmenso amor que te tengo
pregúntale a las estrellas
qué sería de mí sin ellas?
Sólo Dios sabe nuestros destinos...
Si alguna vez te fueras
aún habría primavera
la vida continuaría
Dios es quien cruza nuestros caminos...
Si alguna vez te fueras
aún habría primavera
el mundo no muestra nada
a unos ojos sin mirada
sólo Dios sabe nuestros destinos.
In "Solo Dios sabe," Charly García sings about the uncertain future of his relationship with someone he loves deeply. He acknowledges that their love may not last forever and wonders what he would do without them. He turns to the stars and asks what would become of him without their presence, recognizing that only God truly knows their destinies. Despite this uncertainty, he notes that even if they were to part ways, life would still go on, but it would be without the same sense of poetry and wonder that their love brings. Ultimately, he recognizes that it is God who guides their paths and determines where they will go.
The lyrics of this song capture the bittersweet nature of love, which can bring great joy but also a sense of anxiety and uncertainty. Charly García's voice is filled with emotion as he sings about the possibility of losing the person he loves, and the way he turns to the stars and God for guidance underscores the significance of this relationship to him. The simple melody, with its gentle guitar accompaniment, adds to the sense of longing and melancholy that permeates the song.
This song is often cited as one of Charly García's most iconic works, and it has been covered by several artists over the years. It has also been used in films and TV shows, cementing its place as a memorable and beloved piece of Argentine music. Its exploration of themes like love, loss, and fate have resonated with audiences for decades, making it a timeless classic.

Que hermosura de cover, solo pedro y charly pueden hacer algo asi de genial
@juliancuevas4743
No es un covers. Es reinterpretar, pues si bien se respetan los arreglos del original, la traducción les puedo asegurar que es superior, más poética que la original. Para que un verso entre en la métrica, hay que reinventarlo todo y allí nace algo nuevo. No es cambiar palabra por palabra porque se pierde poesía y además se genera un desfasaje entre sílaba y acorde. Entonces se trata de rescatar el sentido de la canción original, pero rehaciendo la letra.
