Letra del Tango A bailar

¡A bailar, a bailar
que la orquesta se va!

Sobre el fino garabato
de un tango nervioso y lerdo
se irá borrando el recuerdo…

¡A bailar, a bailar
que la orquesta se va!

El último tango perfuma la noche,
un tango dulce que dice adiós.
La frase callada se asoma a los labios
¡y canta el tango la despedida!
¡Vamos! ¡A bailar!
Tal vez no vuelvas a verla nunca,
y el último tango perfuma la noche
y este es el tango que dice el adiós.

¡A bailar, a bailar
que la orquesta se va!

Quedará el salón vacío
con un montón de esperanzas
que irán camino al olvido.

¡A bailar, a bailar
que la orquesta se va!

English lyrics of the Tango "A bailar"

Let’s dance, let’s dance
the orchestra is leaving soon!

Upon the fine scribble
of a tense and slow tango
the memories will fade away…

Let’s dance, let’s dance
the orchestra is leaving soon!

The last tango scents the night,
a sweet tango that says farewell.
The silent phrase surfaces to the lips
and the tango sings the goodbye!
Come on! Let’s dance!
Perhaps you’ll never see her again,
and the last tango scents the night
and this is the tango that says farewell.

Let’s dance, let’s dance
the orchestra is leaving soon!

The hall will remain empty
with a load of hopes
heading towards oblivion.

Let’s dance, let’s dance
the orchestra is leaving soon!

Story behind the Tango A bailar

The lyrics of “A bailar” convey a poignant farewell scenario, magnified through the context of a dance, specifically the tango, which is emblematic of Argentine culture. The recurring exhortation “¡A bailar, a bailar que la orquesta se va!” (Let’s dance, let’s dance, for the orchestra is leaving) suggests urgency and a transient joy. It’s a call to embrace the moment even as the opportunity—symbolized by the departing orchestra—slips away. The mention of the “último tango” (last tango) adds to the finality and nostalgia, underscoring themes of ending and departure.

Symbolism of A bailar

The “fino garabato de un tango nervioso y lerdo” (fine scribble of a nervous, slow tango) symbolizes life’s intricate and often anxious paths. The act of dancing here is not just for pleasure but serves as an act of emotional erasure, as highlighted by the phrase “se irá borrando el recuerdo” (memory will be erased). The tango, often slow and introspective, becomes a means to sweetly scent the night with farewells, making the last moments memorable. The phrase “quedará el salón vacío con un montón de esperanzas” (the hall will remain empty with a heap of hopes) laments the emptiness and lost hopes that follow the joyous gatherings, signifying forgotten dreams and unfulfilled desires.

A bailar in historic Context

Created in 1967 Argentina, a period marked by political and social changes, “A bailar” may reflect a broader sentiment of transition and uncertainty. The tango, a dance deeply embedded in Argentine identity, often reflects the sentiments of its era. The repeated farewell in the song could mirror the collective anxiety of a society facing the unknown, where each departure in the dance could have signified a farewell to former ways or people lost amidst these changes.

Homero Expósito

Homero Expósito was an influential Argentine lyricist known for his depth and poetic phrasing in the realm of tango.
