He soon gained fame due to the power and strength of his voice. The young tenor earned valuable experience and significant recognition while touring on the invitation of soprano Joan Sutherland, making his 1965 U.S. debut in Miami, Florida on her recommendation. His position was solidified in the years between 1966 and 1972, during which Pavarotti first appeared at Milan's seminal La Scala, at other major European houses, and, in 1968, at NYC's Metropolitan Opera. He received great acclaim, particularly working well with Joan Sutherland.
By the mid-70s, the tenor became known worldwide, famed for the brilliance and beauty of his tone, especially into the upper register. His "high C" became one of his trademarks. The late 70s and 80s saw Pavarotti making significant appearances in the world's opera houses and establishing himself as one of the great singers of the era.
Popular stardom came at the 1990 World Cup in Italy with the performances of "Nessun Dorma" (from Turandot) and as one of The Three Tenors in their famed first concert held on the eve of the final match of the tournament (repeated at later Cups). Pavarotti sang together with fellow star tenors Plácido Domingo and José Carreras and brought to the much wider audience hits previously confined to the opera world. Appearances in advertisements and with pop icons in concerts around the world furthered his influence. Pavarotti always maintained his identity as an opera star, unlike many crossover artists.
The later years brought a decline in ability to perform on stage due to a weight gain and lack of mobility. Pavarotti's final appearance in an opera was at the Met in March 2004. The 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy saw him performing for the last time. Pavarotti sang Nessun Dorma, with the crowd as its Chorus, and got a thunderous standing ovation. On September 6, 2007, he died at home in Modena from pancreatic cancer.
Mi Tierra
Luciano Pavarotti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oigo ese grito de los tambores
Y los timbales al cumbanchar
Y ese pregón que canta un hermano
Que de su tierra vive lejano
Y que el recuerdo le haré llorar
Una canción que vive entonando
De su dolor de su propio llanto
La tierra te duele, la tierra te da
En medio del alma, cuando tú no estás
La tierra te empuja de raíz y cal
La tierra suspira si no te ve más
La tierra donde naciste no
La puedes olvidar, porque tiene tus raíces
Y lo que dejas atrás
Siguen los pregones, la melancolía
Y cada noche junto a la luna
Sigue el güajiro entonando el son
Y cada calle que va a mi pueblo
Tiene un quejido, tiene un lamento
Tiene nostalgia como su voz
Y esa canción que sigue entonando
Corre en la sangre y sigue llegando
Con más fuerza al corazón
Tiene un quejido, mi tierra
Tiene un lamento, mi tierra
Nunca la olvido, mi tierra
La llevo en mi sentimiento, si señor
Oigo ese grito, mi tierra
Vive el recuerdo, mi tierra
Corre en mi sangre, mi tierra
La llevo por dentro como no
Canto de mi tierra bella y santa
Sufro ese dolor que hay en su alma
Aunque estoy lejos yo la siento
Y un día regreso yo lo sé
The song "Mi Tierra" is a poignant tribute to the homeland that the singers, Luciano Pavarotti and Gloria Estefan, share a deep connection with. The lyrics express the longing that one feels for their homeland when they're away, and the constant reminder of their cultural and ancestral roots through music. The sound of the drums and timbales is evocative of the rhythm and soul of their land. The singing of a brother who has left his homeland is heard, and his song is a reflection of his pain and sorrow, of his longing for his roots.
The lyrics go on to describe how one's homeland holds a special place in one's heart and soul, and how the pain of being away from it is felt on a physical and emotional level. The push and pull that the land exerts on its inhabitants is likened to a force that cannot be ignored, and the sadness that one feels when they're not in their homeland is palpable.
Throughout the song, the singers evoke the sounds, sights, and feelings of their land, painting a vivid picture of what it means to them. The song is a reminder that no matter where you go in life, your homeland will always hold a special place in your heart, and that the longing to return will always be there.

Granada, tierra soñada por mí
Mi cantar se vuelve gitano cuando es para ti
Mi cantar hecho de fantasía
Mi cantar, flor de melancolía
Que hoy te vengo a dar
Granada tierra ensangrentada en tardes de toros
Mujer que conserva el embrujo de los ojos moros
De sueño rebelde y gitana cubierta de flores
Y beso tu boca de grana, jugosa manzana
Que me habla de amores
Granada manola cantada en coplas preciosas
No tengo otra cosa que darte que un ramo de rosas
De rosas de suave fragancia
Que le dieron marco a la Virgen Morena
Granada tu tierra está llena de linda mujeres
De sangre y de sol
De rosas de suave fragancia
Que le dieron marco a la Virgen Morena
Granada tu tierra está llena de linda mujeres
De sangre y de sol

Canción compuesta en 1932, por el gran mexicano Agustin Lara, y sin conocer ese bello lugar español, nunca se imaginaría hasta donde llegaría, interpretandola personajes icónicos como Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, Andrea Bocelli, Jorge Negrete, Javier Solís, hasta el mismísimo Frank Sinatra, sin olvidar al violinista holandés André Rieu, en fin Agustin Lara dejó su musica para el mundo, gracias...
