The protest song is always a fundamental part of the trova and few songs have managed to be as accurate as this one that simply asks:

5. Te doy una canción
It is not our favorite song of the author but it is the most special and it is due to the phrase:

3. Óleo de una mujer con sombrero
The top 3 is full of moments that come to our mind as soon as we listen to any of the chords that make up these three melodies, in the case that occupies the bronze, we can say that it is the first song that showed us that Silvio is 3 or 4 steps above any other troubadour in the world.
This song is perhaps at the poetry level the song that we like the most about the author, however the following two evoke in us a greater amount of feelings.
♫ Una mujer se ha perdido
conocer el delirio y el polvo,
se ha perdido esta bella locura,
su breve cintura debajo de mí.
Se ha perdido mi forma de amar,
se ha perdido mi huella en su mar ♪
2. Ángel para un final
I met this song in distant high school days when I met the typical pretty girl, half hippie, a fan of that Silvio, who was for us a singer whom we knew from having listened to «Ojalá», «Sueño de una noche de verano» and little else, however that girl told me» I love Silvio Rodríguez, my favorite is «Angel para un final» listen to it «and I listened to it and thank God I did it because from that day I discovered that that interpreter of «Ojalá» is simply the best exponent of music in Spanish lenguage history.
♫ Ahora comprendo en total
este silencio mortal,
ángel que pasa,
besa y te abraza,
ángel para un
final ♪

1. Requiem
The song that in my opinion is the most melancholic of Silvio is also one of the least known, at least of the ones that are in this top, however it manages to reach the highest position thanks to its beautiful combination of sad poetry that we bristles the skin every time we hear it.
