Sólo Le Pido A Dios

History Gieco wrote it in 1978, at his parents' house in his childhood village of Cañada Rosquín, a small town in the north of Santa Fe Province, Argentina. He wrote it in the presence of his father, who told him that the song would be "world-renowned", which it eventually was. Gieco composed this song by first trying out melodies with his harmonica and guitar, then writing personal feelings which gradually turned into phrases inspired by the harsh social events of the time, such as the military dictatorship of his country, Mercedes Sosa’s exile, and the threat of war between Chile and Argentina at the time. Gieco doubted whether or not to include the song on his 1978 album ''IV LP'', believing it was "boring and monotonous", but finally did, following the advice of Charly García. ...
