>Hello, Sound Music community, I hope that each one of you is feeling very well, enjoying good health, strength in the face of adversity, and hope and patience to await the changes for the better that you need in your life. >Yesterday it rained torrentially in the area where I live – and today it is atrociously cold -. The rainfall brought to my memory the song “Lluvia” (Rain) , a waltz created by the Zulian composer Luis Guillermo Sánchez. >The theme of the song narrates in first person the experience of someone native from Maracaibo, capital of the Zulia state in Venezuela, a region characterized by having high temperatures all year round, by having the lake from which oil is extracted, by a very particular to speak, since there, as in Argentina, instead of saying “tú” or “usted” (you) , “vos” is used. >This person in the song , accustomed to the heat and the sun, finds himself – due to circumstances that the lyrics do not narrate and that has always seemed to me that he is some university student residing far from his native land – in some Andean town. >In the middle of a misty afternoon, with thick fog and tenacious and copious rain, he is filled with nostalgia for his sun and his lake. >The sky is a gray blanket. The night arrives and the rain does not calm down, on the contrary, it continues stronger and the nostalgia also becomes stronger. >This song has been performed by various vocalists such as Mayra Marti – who recorded it in 1986 -, Lila Morillo and Alfredo Sadel, among others.

LETRA DE LA CANCIÓN
Extasiado en mis recuerdos contemplando la lluvia caer en un invierno copioso grandes nubes se ven ascender. La tarde se ha vuelto bruma, con neblina muy tupida, crece en el cielo un manto gris sobre el espacio sin fin. Muy lejos de mi ambiente pensando en mi lago, en la ciudad que un día me viera nacer, la lluvia tenaz sigue e inunda los campos en la tarde andina, sin sol y sin luz. Todo es sombras ya, es la noche que llegó y la lluvia prosigue más fuerte y trae a mi alma nostalgia sutil. [Fuente]( https://www.cancioneros.com/letras/cancion/1919220/lluvia-luis-guillermo-sanchez)
LYRICS
>Enraptured in my memories watching the rain fall in a heavy winter large clouds are seen rising. >The afternoon has turned into a mist, with very dense fog, a gray mantle grows in the sky over endless space. >Very far from my environment thinking about my lake, in the city that one day saw me born, the persistent rain continues and floods the fields in the Andean afternoon, without sun and without light. >Everything is shadows now, It's the night that arrived and the rain continues stronger and brings subtle nostalgia to my soul.
Comparto con ustedes en video la maravillosa interpretación que hizo Lila Morillo de este tema. Lila es nativa de Maracaibo, ha viajado y sabe lo que es estar lejos de “la tierra del sol amada” como es llamada su ciudad natal y la nostalgia que se siente por la lejanía. Así que cantó esta canción con el corazón y por ello al corazón llega.
I share with you on video Lila Morillo's wonderful interpretation of this song. Lila is a native of Maracaibo, she has traveled and knows what it is like to be far from “the land of the beloved sun” as her hometown is called and the nostalgia that is felt due to the distance. So she sang this song with her heart and therefore it reaches the heart.
