I'm a Chilean away from many (45) years. I was friend of her son, Angel Parra, recently deceased. So, this video makes me cry. Also from Violeta, try "Volver a los 17", and feel what a passionate woman feelings. The instrument in this vídeo is a "Charango", instrument that have a resonance box made with an armadillo body. More one time, my apologies for my poor English

"DOÑA VIOLETA" como la conocemos fue no solo una compositora musical sino que tambien una investigadora musical ya que recorrio muchas partes de Chile recolectando muchas canciones que solo se conocian de forma oral , ademas fue la unica cantante en el mundo en exponer en el museo del Louvre en paris a mediados de los 60 ( las obras que expuso estaban relacionadas con tejidos y textiles que ella aprendio a fabricar cuando estuvo en el norte de Chile, ella es motivo de orgullo y estudiada en la escuelas de todo el pais, gracias por el video. te dejo una recomendacion: Victor Jara, la cancion: Te conosco Amanda.

She is the composer of the song. The instrument she is playing is probably a charango, which is a traditional instrument from the South American Andean region

A propósito del Encuentro de poesía en la ciudad de Concepción en 1961, Violeta Parra viaja al sur de Chile con Allen Ginsberg, haciendo una antropología Folclórica sobre el origen del canto popular y campesino. Su hermano el anti Poeta Nicanor Parra ya había editado su libro de anti poemas con Gregory Corso en San Francisco (USA) en plena era de los beatnik . Todo conectado.

[@fideluna]

Violeta, is considered the mother of the New Song movement, that broke from the traditional music that used culture as an export product. Violeta was a writer, a poet a painter, a play writer, a knitter, a cook and a singer and many other things. She also was a music anthropologist and in her early years she collected the traditional music from the countryside and collected works from the indigenous peoples from Rapa Nui, the Andes, the Mapuche .Also traveled extensively studying diverse instruments and incorporating into her creativity what she learned. She introduced charango, zamponas and other andean instruments to urban music. She studied at the Teachers Collegue, she was disliked and despise by the upper ruling class, she become a legend as a protest singer in the 60s and 70s. Long time before Dylan and other. This record Thanks to Life was her last recording before committing suicide in December 1967. She is been translated and sung in multiple languages around the world and is continue studies and listened to by the new generation.

The musical instrument Violeta was playing is called Charango.

Thanks to life, which has given me so much. It gave me two stars, which when I open them, Perfectly distinguish black from white And in the tall sky its starry backdrop, And within the multitudes the one that I love. Thanks to life, which has given me so much. It gave me hearing that, in all of its reach Records night and day crickets and canaries, Hammers and turbines, bricks and storms, And the tender voice of my beloved. Thanks to life, which has given me so much. It gave me sound and the alphabet. With them the words I think and declare: “Mother,” “Friend,” “Brother” and light shining down on The road of the soul of the one I'm loving. Thanks to life, which has given me so much. It gave me the steps of my tired feet. With them I have traversed cities and puddles Valleys and deserts, mountains and plains. And your house, your street and your garden. Thanks to life, which has given me so much. It gave me this heart that shakes its frame, When I see the fruit of the human brain, When I see good so far from evil, When I look into the depth of your light eyes… Thanks to life, which has given me so much. It gave me laughter and it gave me tears. With them I distinguish happiness from pain The two elements that make up my song, And your song, as well, which is the same song. And everyone’s song, which is my very song. lyricstranslate.com

No sabes cuánta emoción sentimos los chilenos...Al escuchar este tema universal...Nuestra Viola...Nuestra Viola suicida...

[@artux948]

Lo curioso es que luego de esta canción Violeta Parra (cantante y compositora) escribió otra muy triste: "Maldigo del alto cielo" luego se suicidó. Hay una canción muy hermosa y melancólica: "Alfonsina y el mar" cuya mejor interpretación es, a mi juicio, la de Tania Libertad y si bien fue dedicada a Alfonsina Storni... creo que a Violeta Parra le queda bien.

Siempre me ha sorprendido en esta canción como Violeta va del macro al micro, habla de un todo para llegar a algo tán intimo como el l amor que siente por su pareja.

[@CARLESIUS]

Esa es la principal característica de esta canción, que más que una canción es un poema, digno de ser analizado desde su más profundo sentido literario. Pero sin dejar de considerar que lo que puede el sentimiento no lo ha podido el saber, ni el más claro proceder, ni el más ancho pensamiento.

[@claudioa5873]

Dear Frank I'm sorry for my previous comment. After watching your video for a second and third time I have be aware that you have understood the message of the song. Really you understand spanish language better than I can understand english language. So, forget my previous comment. Best regards from Chile

[@ndgilmour]

The instrument its a Charango, like a little guitar or ukelele with 12 strings. Its a typical folk aliplanic instrument (Perú, Chile, Bolivia y Argentina). Greetings from Chile Frank, please react to Kuervos del Sur and his song Cenizas.

[@hatnnycarbonell9743]

She wrote "Gracias a la vida" to say goodbye to life. She committed suicide after that. That is the reason why she is singing so sadly and with pain. She is the only one that can sing this song, with its real meaning. There are plenty of versions of this song, but Violeta is the only one that can interpret it with its real meaning.

[@claudioa5873]

Dear Frank. First, I'm sorry because I don't speak english but I will try to do my best effort. I can see in your video that you understand spanish language, but if it is not complete I want to say to you that it is absolutely essential to obtain a precise translation of the lyrics of this song. I say this because the lyrics of this song is really a masterpiece. The lyrics is a rare combination of very, very simple words and phrases about life that express a very, very, very profound message. It talks about very simple things in life, for example, as simple as walking, hear the sounds of hammers, watch a person in a crowd, etc. If you think that you really have understood, forget my comment. If not, you can't leave passing by the opportunity of enjoy a true masterpiece. Excuse me if my comment may be not appropriate, but I think that I had to did it because I want to be sure about the understanding of the message of this song. Thank you for your video and many greetings from Chile. P. S. : I just have suscribed to your channel

I completely agree with your anthem comment at the end of video. She was amazed by all new age rock/pop music during 60s, specially the Beatles. It is told that she locked herself one week after "yesterday" was released. She loved the song so badly that she hated herself for not being the composer. If you want to explore the most dark, but beautiful side of Violeta, I truly recommend you to react to "El Gavilan". A masterpeace.

It is not to detract from Mercedes Sosa, but this was only an interpreter, not a singer-songwriter, like Violeta Parra

violeta parra: RunRun se fue pal norte, volver a los 17, arriba quemando el sol, el albertio, la jardinera, paloma ausente , que pena siente el alma , rin del angelito, casamiento de negros, que he sacado con quererte, uffff.. is a very prolific songwriter. she die en 1967. also i can recomend you inti illimani (a lot of songs like: mercado testaccio, medianoche, vuelvo) , patricio Manns (arriba en la cordillera, la exilada del sur... with inti illimani) quilapayun (vamos mujer, la muralla) Congreso (hijo del sol, en todas las esquinas) los jaivas (todos juntos, alturas de machupichu, mira niñita)
