			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve had these words floating through my mind for days both sung by Lhasa de Sela and by Mercedes Sosa. Indeed it&#8217;s the lyrics to the song in my <a href="../archives/1583" target="_self">previous post</a>, written by Fito Paéz. But the ladies perform it the best.</p>
<p>¿Quién dijo que todo está perdido?<br />
yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón,<br />
tanta sangre que se llevó el río,<br />
yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón.</p>
<p>No será tan fácil, ya sé qué pasa,<br />
no será tan simple como pensaba,<br />
como abrir el pecho y sacar el alma,<br />
una cuchillada del amor.</p>
<p>Luna de los pobres siempre abierta,<br />
yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón,<br />
como un documento inalterable<br />
yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón.</p>
<p>Y uniré las puntas de un mismo lazo,<br />
y me iré tranquilo, me iré despacio,<br />
y te daré todo, y me darás algo,<br />
algo que me alivie un poco más.</p>
<p>Cuando no haya nadie cerca o lejos,<br />
yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón.<br />
cuando los satélites no alcancen,<br />
yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón.</p>
<p>Y hablo de países y de esperanzas,<br />
hablo por la vida, hablo por la nada,<br />
hablo de cambiar ésta, nuestra casa,<br />
de cambiarla por cambiar, nomás.</p>
<p>¿Quién dijo que todo está perdido?<br />
yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón.</p>

<p>I recently rewatched Avi Lewis &amp; Naomi Klein&#8217;s <em>The Take</em>, their documentary from 2004 on Argentina&#8217;s reclaimed factory movement that rose out of the ashes of 2001&#8242;s economic melt-down (imposed by speculative neoliberalist policies, not surprisingly). I was particularly moved by the scene towards the end of the film which shows Buenos Aires street protests against a government shutdown of the worker cooperative Brukman —a textile factory run by its seamstresses— at a similarly desperate time for the film&#8217;s protagonists, industrial workers struggling to claim legal the legal rights over their autoparts factory, Forja. Lhasa de Sela&#8217;s version of the song <em>Yo vengo a ofrecer mi corazón</em>, popularized by la negra Mercedes Sosa, is definitely among the emotionally strongest I&#8217;ve heard. The next day I was saddened to learn that Lhasa died only days ago, on New Year&#8217;s Day – following a long struggle against breast cancer. Here&#8217;s to her—Bless her soul!</p>
