Cantar, Cantar, Cantar

Juan Carlos Baglietto's 'Cantar, Cantar, Cantar' is a heartfelt ode to the transformative power of music and its ability to heal and unite. The song opens with a sense of renewal and gratitude, celebrating the return to a fruitful period after a time of hardship. The imagery of 'regresar a la cosecha' (returning to the harvest) and 'el tiempo mejoró las madrugadas' (the time improved the dawns) suggests a period of personal or collective struggle that has been overcome, leading to a brighter, more hopeful present.

The lyrics pay homage to the dreamers and ancestors who have paved the way, leaving behind their 'pétalo mejor' (best petal) to inspire future generations. This metaphorical petal symbolizes the wisdom, love, and artistic legacy that continue to bloom in the hearts of those who follow. The act of singing becomes a tribute to these forebears, a way to keep their dreams and hopes alive. The repetition of 'cantar, cantar, cantar' (sing, sing, sing) emphasizes the urgency and necessity of expressing oneself through music, as if it were the first time, capturing the raw, unfiltered emotion of that initial experience.

The song also explores the idea of unity through music. The phrase 'para llegar a ser como una sola voz' (to become like a single voice) underscores the collective power of song to bring people together, transcending individual differences. When music 'sabe a realidad la maravilla' (tastes like the reality of wonder), it becomes a magical force that can ignite passion and hope, turning the heart into a 'mágico volcán' (magical volcano) that erupts with the cry of hope. Baglietto's evocative lyrics and emotive delivery make 'Cantar, Cantar, Cantar' a powerful anthem of resilience, love, and the unifying power of music.
