Zamba de mi esperanza
Jorge Cafrune Y Marito Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Zamba, de mi esperanza
amanecida como un querer
Sueño, sueño del alma
que a veces muere sin florecer
Sueño, Sueño del alma
que a veces muere sin florecer

Zamba, a tí te canto
porque tu canto derrama amor
caricia, de tu pañuelo
que va envolviendo mi corazón
caricia, de tu pañuelo
que va envolviendo mi corazón

Estrella, tú que miraste
tú que escuchaste mi padecer
Estrella, deja que cante
deja que quiera como yo sé
Estrella, deja que cante
deja que quiera como yo sé

El tiempo, que va pasando
como la vida no vuelve más
El tiempo, me va matando
y tu cariño será, será
El tiempo, me va matando
y tu cariño será, será

Hundido, en horizonte
soy polvareda que al viento va
Zamba, ya no me dejes
yo sin tu canto no vivo más
Zamba, ya no me dejes
yo sin tu canto no vivo más

Estrella, tú que miraste
tú que escuchaste mi padecer
Estrella, deja que cante
deja que quiera como yo sé




Estrella, deja que cante
deja que quiera como yo sé

Overall Meaning

The song "Zamba de mi esperanza" is about hope and the power of music to bring comfort and love. In the first stanza, the singer expresses their hope that their dreams and desires, which sometimes wither and die before coming to fruition, will be realized. The zamba, a musical genre from Argentina and Bolivia, is the chosen form for this message of hope because of its ability to transmit love and warmth. The singer believes that the zamba's lyrics and melody will envelop their heart like a caress from the zamba dancer's handkerchief.


The following stanza addresses the idea of an "estrella," or star, as a witness to the singer's suffering. The star, like the zamba, holds a special place in the singer's heart because it has seen and heard their pain. The singer sings of wanting to express themselves as only they know how and begging the star to let them sing. However, as time passes, the singer feels their spirit being worn down and needs the zamba's caress to sustain them, as they feel as if they are being blown away like dust on the horizon.


Overall, the song is a call to hope and the transformative power of art. The zamba offers solace and the star bears witness to the singer's journey. The lyrics, when combined with the zamba's calico-style rhythm and delicate melody, create an emotive and passionate tribute to music's power to heal.
