00:00Your parents tell me that they support you, but what happened to you as a mother?
00:03What happened to you when you had to leave?
00:05Well, it was very complicated because when she started, I did tours,
00:09I did tours for six months.
00:11So you had six months and you couldn't see your daughter for six months?
00:15For example, the six-month tour I did with Evita,
00:19I took her with a teacher to work with her for a few months, right?
00:24Then she had to come back.
00:26She really was here, in Chile. Then she left.
00:29But when I started with the suitcases in the room,
00:33she started to get nervous, to turn around,
00:37and I was going with a complex of guilt,
00:39and I remember that always, the first 15, 20, the first month,
00:44I cried and cried and cried.
00:46I always remember when I cried and cried,
00:50I don't cry when I go to Argentina,
00:52because how can you cry so easily?
00:55Because just remembering my daughter and knowing that she was there,
00:58that I had left her, brought me so much sadness that I cried.
01:02Don't cry for me, Argentina.
01:07My soul is with you.
01:12My whole life, I dedicate it to you.
01:18More than death, sometimes, I need you.
01:26It's like that. It's a feeling.
01:29And it's also a feeling that you never get over,
01:31because you're always going to have that kind of hole in your stomach.
01:37I should have been with her. I could have helped her more.
01:41Maybe if I had been there. You know, all that kind of stuff.
01:45Especially when you don't count on the other side,
01:48with an adult and mature support.
01:51You can't delegate on the other side.
01:53It's a bit like you carry everything on top of you.
01:56And even though she stayed with my parents,
01:58because we finally lived together,
02:00there came a time when my parents came to live with me,
02:04my older sister too.
02:06You had to set up a family block.
02:08Absolutely. If not, I wouldn't have left.
02:10I mean, I'm clear about that.
02:12And I thought that here I was fine and it was enough,
02:14but it wasn't enough.
02:15So, of course, what happens now?
02:17Well, now, at 49 years old,
02:20it's an obsession to be with me and her,
02:25because we don't want to lose a minute.
02:27I mean, I tried...
02:28There was a time when I stopped my career a lot.
02:31From the late 90s or so.
02:36Because I knew I needed it.
02:39From then on, I said, shh, be careful.
02:41And the truth is that whenever I could, I was there.
02:44Now, for example, I'm in the United States
02:46practically every year, between some things and others,
02:49five months at least.
02:50That you're at home with her.
02:52Of course, because what I did was
02:54we bought a family home there in Los Angeles,
02:56a big one, for everyone.
02:57So, there it is.
02:58My family home is really in Los Angeles.
03:00And there the story repeats itself a bit,
03:02that now you're with your daughter,
03:04just like your parents were with you.
03:05Exactly.
03:06So, everything I can, I'm there.
03:07Family.
03:08Totally.
03:09Because she needs me, she needs to talk to me a lot.
03:14The boys, too.
03:15It's good that I'm there.
03:17Look what I have here.
03:18What do you have there?
03:19No shame.
03:21Hi mom, how are you?
03:23I wanted to give you a surprise.
03:25And send you a greeting.
03:27And take this opportunity to thank you
03:30for being a wonderful mother.
03:34Really.
03:35And thank you for all the support you've given me.
03:39The difficult moments we've had together.
03:42The good moments.
03:44For how much we laugh and sing together.
03:47And how adventurous we are.
03:50And the truth is that I couldn't have asked for a better mother.
03:55I repeat it again.
03:57And well, the truth is that you're my favorite student of voice.
04:03Although a bit rebellious.
04:05But well.
04:06But I think that rebelliousness also has to be had sometimes.
04:09And it's what has also helped you get as far as you've gotten.
04:13I admire you a lot and I love you infinitely, infinitely, infinitely.
04:17See you soon.
04:20So beautiful.
04:22Please.
04:23Have you seen what that is?
04:25It's an angel.
04:27It's an angel.
04:28I've been lucky enough to have an angel.
04:30It's...
04:31It has so much light.
04:33It has so much capacity for love.
04:36For dedication.
04:37It's a girl who has had a very bad time.
04:39And despite everything,
04:41you see her with that face, with that enthusiasm to do things.
04:46To give love to everyone around her.
04:48It's...
04:49I get there.
04:50Every morning she comes to my room and hugs me.
04:53Before,
04:54Come on, let's have breakfast.
04:55Come on, let's have breakfast.
04:56And a favorite phrase.
04:58I love you so much.
05:00Do you know what it is?
05:01A daughter who tells you once,
05:03I love you so much.
05:05And what she's saying there,
05:07it's true.
05:08She's my coach of voice.
05:09And why do you say she's had a very bad time?
05:11In what sense?
05:12Well, because...
05:15Because, logically, she's a very intelligent girl.
05:18Very, very, very intelligent.
05:19And very analytical.
05:20So she...
05:23analyzes everything.
05:24Everything...
05:25She constantly asks herself questions.
05:27She's not satisfied with the first reading of things.
05:31So, when she goes further,
05:35she doesn't skip pages.
05:38For example,
05:39the fact of not being able to count on her father as she would like.
05:43The fact of losing her grandparents,
05:45who were like...
05:46Her mother was...
05:47My mother was like her second mother.
05:49The fact of, for example,
05:52I've been traveling for so long.
05:54That feeling that...
05:56that the important thing is
05:58your mother,
05:59that she's pretty,
06:00that they take pictures of her,
06:01that everyone...
06:02Go to a dressing room
06:03and when she's in the dressing room,
06:05people pass by and tell her,
06:07well, you must be very proud of your mother, right?
06:09It's very strong.
06:11The kids, in the beginning,
06:12should be the center of the house.
06:14And in that case,
06:15she says that, many times,
06:17it seemed that she was like...
06:18like a suspicious bunch.
06:20Because, of course,
06:21I saw how she,
06:22when we were going down the street...
06:23She competed with the public.
06:25As if they were constantly stealing from her mother, right?
06:30It hasn't always been easy.
06:31The fact of being my daughter
06:32has been a handicap for her many times.
06:35So...
06:36Well, there it is.
06:38And it seems to me that...
06:40that when you see that...
06:42We've fought together,
06:43that's for sure.
06:44We've always fought together.
06:46She's always had my support,
06:47but many times she didn't have it, right?
06:49So...
06:50The truth is that...
06:52It's very nice to get to this moment
06:53and see how she has managed to overcome everything,
06:55how she has managed to be the woman she is.
06:58You saw how she speaks to you,
07:00how she...
07:01with the love,
07:02with the affection she has for you.
07:04Yes, yes, yes.
07:05That, I think,
07:06is also a great achievement of yours as a mother.
07:09Yes.
07:10And you said that...
07:11that you've also done things together.
07:12Look, here I have images...
07:15with her.
07:20Shut up, shut up, shut up.
07:24Do you know how the girl sings?
07:25It's very strong.
07:27It's Saraó.
07:30And I, singing terribly...
07:32for you.
07:36I'm going to the hills of Úbeda
07:38because I didn't know she was going to come out.
07:40I don't sing anymore.
07:41It was a surprise.
07:42Totally a surprise.
07:44I didn't sing anymore.
07:45When I saw her,
07:46I said, how far have we come?
07:47I don't sing anymore.
07:48I mean, of course.
07:50I left.
07:51She followed the music
07:52and I walked the other way.
07:54It's...
07:55I have...
07:57absolute adoration for that girl.
07:59It gives me a lot of tenderness
08:00and the truth is that...
08:01since I've only had one,
08:02I have everything very concentrated, right?
