Un Clásico Venezolano Anhelante
Hello!!! great community. Welcome back to my blog, a space for culture, art, and history.
Friends of hive, it is my first participation in hive open mic, I spent a few days researching before sharing this post. I understand that each week has a theme. Stories of the night. I loved this topic !!! I was undecided about which song I could interpret that was related to the theme of the week, however I chose a song that is a challenge for me, but I assure you that when you listen to it, many stories from many nights will reach your thoughts
This time I am going to perform a Venezuelan classic titled "Anhelante" but this time the singer will be me accompanied by my cuatro, since in the previous post the protagonist was the instrument.
This song has surpassed version number 100, it is a strong proof of its success, its acceptance in several generations and its safe permanence in time.
The first time I heard this song, it was when I was enjoying a beautiful and warm day at the beach, all in silence, a calm atmosphere, suddenly that beautiful harmony reaches my ears, the result of the combination of extraordinary chords. It was inevitable to stop listening to that beauty, from that moment it stayed with me.

Captured with blu bold like us studio mega s910q Today I am going to share my version with you, but first we must know who its creator was. In this sense, my friends, let's travel back in time to learn the story of "Anhelante":
This theme was created in 1976 by José "Pollo" Sifontes, a composer born in the Caracas Valley on February 11, 1949, the son of natives of eastern Venezuela, simple people in love with the sea.
He has related that this song was inspired by Raquel Castaños, a beautiful singer born in Caracas, whom he made his wife on October 8, 1978.
Anhelante is a deeply romantic waltz, the pioneering version is by Sucrense Gualberto Ibarreto, from 1976, and although he hesitated to record it, life rewarded it and it became a classic. In this first version, the arrangement for the mandolin by Renny Montaño stands out, structured in G minor. That same year, it was recorded by Raquel Castaños, and later it has been vocalized by great artists such as Oscar D 'León, Ilan Chester, Rosa Virginia Chacín, Simón Díaz, among others.
Letra
Me conformo con verte, aunque sea un instante
Me conformo con mirarte, un momento nada más
Para llevarme lejos, el matiz y el contraste
Que dan tus ojos bellos junto a la inmensidad
Que dan tus ojos bellos junto a la inmensidad.
Me conformo con verte, aunque sea un instante
Me conformo con mirarte, un momento nada más
Para llevarme lejos, el matiz y el contraste
Que dan tus ojos bellos junto a la inmensidad.
Y aunque me digas que no me quieres
Dulcemente vivirás en mí
Como cantío de inquietas aves
Como el rocío de una nube gris
Y aunque mi vida se torne errante
Te juro que anhelante esperaré por ti.
Y aunque me digas que no me quieres
Dulcemente vivirás en mí
Como cantío de inquietas aves
Como el rocío de una nube gris
Y aunque mi vida se torne errante
Te juro que anhelante esperaré por ti
Te juro que anhelante esperaré por ti.
Lyrics
I'm content to see you, even for a moment
I'm content to look at you, just a moment
To take me away, the hue and contrast
That give your beautiful eyes next to the immensity
That give your beautiful eyes next to the immensity
I'm content to see you, even for a moment
I'm content to look at you, just a moment
To take me away, the hue and contrast
That your beautiful eyes give next to the immensity.
And even if you tell me that you don't love me
Sweetly you will live in me
Like a song of restless birds
Like the dew from a gray cloud
And although my life becomes wandering
I swear that I will wait for you eagerly.
And even if you tell me that you don't love me
Sweetly you will live in me
Like a song of restless birds
Like the dew from a gray cloud
And although my life becomes wandering
I swear that I will wait for you eagerly
I swear that I will wait for you eagerly.
Friends of hive, this song is not easy to sing, in fact, the first time in my life that I am going to perform it. I had many problems with the recording since I do not have professional equipment. This work has been done with a blu bold like us brand cell phone. For this reason, the sound and resolution are not of the highest quality, I hope you like it with all my heart. For all of you "Longing
