Building A Long Travel Sand Car

Le donne del Tango: Rosita Melo

We all know the wonderful Desde el alma vals , but I'm sure not everyone knows that this great classic was composed by a woman, even by a little girl! Rosita Melo
Why indeed, when he composed the song that would have been his masterpiece and best known around the world, had just 14 years!

Rosita Melo was born in 1897 in Uruguay and moved with his family in Argentina at the age of 2 years.
popular piano teacher and performer, was married in 1922 with the poet and writer Piuma Velez, who wrote the first version of the text Desde el alma.

Nel 1948 il grandissimo Homero Manzi volle inserire il brano nel suo film Pobre mi madre querida, ponendo però come condizione di riscriverne le parole. Rosita Melo e Piuma Velez accettarono (a patto che Velez figurasse come co-autore...).
E' così che Desde el alma divenne famoso in tutto il mondo.

Ecco un video tratto dal film originale, in cui un superbo Hugo del Carril canta il brano (verso metà del video). A testimonianza della forte presenza di Italiani in Argentina a quel tempo, a un certo punto del filmato un'attrice canticchia nostalgica la nota canzone napoletana Marechiaro .



Riporto qui both of you testo versioni, quella originale e quella più di Velez famous di Manzi.



the
Versione di Velez

I also from the soul I gave you my love


humble and poor but holy and good
like a mother
as he loves God.

Because you are my life
because you are my dream

because the penalties that had soul disperses

you with your love.

After much pain

your holy love made me forget the bitterness

until yesterday
kept within the heart and soul.


my mother right if I forgot a moment of your touch

your tender kisses all your prayers

Ay! sorry.


But if you knew the good virgin

comforts me today that gives me joy

in sad when I think of you. Sorry


mother if for a moment forgot you
forgive, forgive your mother

never erase memory.
Versione di Alma

Manzi, if both have hurt
do you refuse to forget? Why prefer

mourn your loss,
find what you wanted, what they call
died? Vives


and needlessly sad that you never deserved punishment

pay to blame for being good, as good as you were

love.

was, what started once. What

after longer

What ultimately because of an error
heart was bitter night.

Put those cards!
back to your old illusion! Along with the pain

opening a wound

bringing life comes another love. Alma

not around your window the sun
am happy

not despair that the dream
dearest is the one that hurts us,
is what hurts most. Vives


and needlessly sad that you never deserved punishment

pay to blame for being good, as good as you were

love.

A voi scelta ...
