Guitarrero de Amanecidas

The song 'Guitarrero de Amanecidas' by Sergio Galleguillo is a vibrant narrative that delves into the life of a musician who is dedicated to his art, often playing his guitar into the early hours of the morning. The title itself, which translates to 'Guitarist of Dawns,' sets the stage for a story about a man whose passion for music often keeps him out late at night, much to the chagrin of his partner.

The lyrics open with a rhetorical question, asking why his partner chose to marry him when she knew of his nocturnal habits as a musician. This suggests a tension between his love for music and the expectations of domestic life. The song continues to describe the musician's return home after a night out, only to find his partner upset, symbolized by her 'throwing the locro,' a traditional Argentine stew, indicating domestic discord. Despite this, he reassures her of his unique and irreplaceable love, suggesting that such a love cannot be found 'on any corner.'

The song also touches on themes of jealousy and gossip within their community, as the musician pleads with his partner not to be jealous or to listen to the talk of the townspeople. He asks for understanding and acceptance of his lifestyle, requesting that she welcome him with food and drink regardless of his late returns. The song paints a picture of a man torn between his devotion to his music and his love for his partner, seeking a balance between his art and his personal life.
