Manuelita la Tortuga by Maria Elena Walsh with Martín Benvenuto

Lyrics: Manuelita la Tortuga Manuelita vivía en Pehuajó Pero un día se marchó Nadie supo bien por qué A París ella se fue Un poquito caminando Y otro poquitito a pie Manuelita, Manuelita Manuelita a dónde vas Con tu traje de malaquita Y tu paso tan audaz Manuelita una vez se enamoró De un tortugo que pasó Dijo: ¿qué podré yo hacer? Vieja no me va a querer En Europa y con paciencia Me podrán embellecer Manuelita, Manuelita Manuelita a dónde vas Con tu traje de malaquita Y tu paso tan audaz En la tintorería de Paris La pintaron con barniz La plancharon en francés Del derecho y del revés Le pusieron peluquita Y botines en los pies Manuelita, Manuelita Manuelita a dónde vas Con tu traje de malaquita Y tu paso tan audaz Tantos años tardó en cruzar el mar Que allí se volvió a arrugar Y por eso regresó Vieja como se marchó A buscar a su tortugo Que la espera en Pehuajó Manuelita, Manuelita Manuelita a dónde vas Con tu traje de malaquita Y tu paso tan audaz Translation by Martin Benvenuto: Manuelita the Tortoise Manuelita lived once in Pehuajó But one day she left her home. Nobody knows why she left for Paris. Left a little bit by walking And a little bit on foot. Manuelita, Manuelita Manuelita, where are you going? With your suit of malachite And your very audacious gait. Manuelita once fell in love With a turtle that passed by. She asked "Oh what can I do? I'm old, he won't love me back" With patience once in Europe they can beautify me again. Manuelita, Manuelita Manuelita, where are you going? With your suit of malachite And your very audacious gait. In a laundry in the middle of Paris, They painted her with varnish. They ironed her out in French Right side up and back again. They gave her a lovely little wig And boots on her feet. Manuelita, Manuelita Manuelita, where are you going? With your suit of malachite And your very audacious gait. She took many long years to cross the ocean That her washing came undone. That's why she returned as old as when she set off to seek out her dear turtle who awaits her in Pehuajó. Manuelita, Manuelita Manuelita, where are you going? With your suit of malachite And your very audacious gait. Companion pronunciation video:    • Manuelita la Tortuga Pronunciation with Ma...   I was so delighted to have Martín Benvenuto in the studio to share songs from Argentinean composer, Maria Elena Walsh. He offers these thoughts: As most Argentineans of my generation, I grew up listening and singing songs by writer, poet and singer Maria Elena Walsh, an Argentine cultural icon. Her songs have traveled across the Spanish-speaking world, inspiring children (and adults) to sing along. I gather I only fully understood the depth and inventiveness of some of her songs as an adult. However, I do remember Manuelita la Tortuga and the impact it on had on me as a shy and introspective boy. The adventurous turtle from the rural town of Pehuajó travels to Paris to undergo beauty treatments, fearing her age will cause her lover (turtle) to not love her back. She takes so many years to cross the ocean from Paris that her treatments come undone, but her lover turtle waits for her patiently in Pehuajó. A lesson about ageism and the meaning of true love as no other for my 10-year-old self… Martín Benvenuto is native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, and the Artistic Director of 21V, a Bay Area professional ensemble of soprano and alto voices of all gender identities with a focus on music of the 21st century of the Americas.
