Los Chalchaleros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Amanecida como un querer
Sueño, sueño del alma
Que a veces muere sin florecer
Zamba, a ti te canto
Porque tu canto derrama amor
Caricia de tu pañuelo
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 se irá, se irá
Hundido en horizontes
Soy polvadera que al viento va
Zamba, ya no me dejes
Yo sin tu canto no vivo más
Estrella, tú que miraste
Tú que escuchaste mi parecer
Estrella, deja que cante
Deja que quiera como yo sé
Estrella, deja que cante
Deja que quiera como yo sé
The song "Zamba de Mi Esperanza" by Los Chalchaleros describes the morning light as a symbol for hope that gives life to the dream of finding love. The singer longs for a fulfilled love, but sometimes this dream dies before it can even start blossoming. He addresses the zamba, a traditional Argentine genre known for its romantic lyrics, which carries the power to spread love and to wrap his heart in its caressing handkerchief. The zamba is a symbol of love that gives the singer hope for better times. He turns to the stars, asking for them to witness his pain and to allow him to sing and love as he knows how to. Time is presented as fleeting, and losing the love of his life would be a devastating blow for him that he cannot bear. The zamba and the stars represent hope and comfort for the singer.
The song's lyrics paint a picture of a person who is deeply in love and is trying to hold onto hope in uncertain times. He longs for the love he feels he deserves, but time and circumstance are working against him. The zamba and the stars become symbols of hope, companions in his pain, and sources of strength as he tries to hold onto his dream. The song has captured the hearts of generations of Argentinians and achieved iconic status in the country.

Soy ecuatoriano. En los 70 s vinieron a Quito "los Chalchaleros". Qué voces tan uniformes, coordinadas, académicas. Esa hermosa música no se escucha en la actualidad. Somos pocos los que conocemos la señorial zamba argentina.

Viejooo soy de Colombia y cuando escucho esta canción, me siento como volviendo a casa.
En una vida muy reciente yo debí ser Argentino, y a lo mejor algo de ese lazo queda en mí.

Me recuardan tanto mi juventud e infancia en Colombia, hacian fiestas en las casas y asados, con mucha cerveza para pasarlos y los Chalchaleros eran los iinvitados de honor en las radiolas y todos cantabamos con ellos hasta el amanecer, que tiempos que Uds los jovenes se perdieron!
