Allí nací

Ignacio Corsini's song "Allí nací" is a heartfelt tribute to his homeland, filled with vivid imagery and deep emotional resonance. The lyrics paint a picturesque scene of a place where the golden sun adorns the mountains, and the sky drapes the earth in a bluish-white veil. This idyllic setting is further enriched by the presence of native wildlife, such as the charrúa bird and the old puma, creating a sense of harmony between nature and the human spirit. Corsini's birthplace is depicted as a paradise where the soul finds its song and where he was born with a smile on his face.

The song also delves into the cultural and emotional heritage of the land. The dawn is described as a nymph, adorning the foliage with a pink-hued poncho, symbolizing the beauty and tenderness of the morning light. The reference to Santos Vega, a legendary figure in Argentine folklore known for his guitar playing, underscores the deep connection between music and the Argentine spirit. The lyrics suggest that the land itself teaches the art of expressing profound emotions, capturing the essence of Argentine sentiment through the divine sadness of Vega's guitar.

In the final verses, Corsini reflects on personal loss and the passage of time. He mentions his father, an old gaucho with long beards, who no longer saddles his blue horse after the death of Corsini's mother. This poignant image is complemented by the scent of a fading breeze and the vibrations of joy that nestle in the talar (a type of tree). The black hat hanging over Corsini's neck symbolizes the lingering presence of his father and the enduring connection to his roots. Through these evocative lyrics, Corsini not only celebrates the beauty of his homeland but also mourns the inevitable changes brought by time and loss.
