Letra del Vals A mi madre

Lloré en mi vida, solitario

Porque, madre mía, yo sentí tu amor,

Pasar como un viento del ayer

Consolando mi dolor, en mi triste orfandad.

Sentí, viejecita dulce y buena

Nacer de nuevo en mi corazón tu voz,

Y fue cual un ave que pasó

En mi fría soledad, como un ángel bienhechor.



Recuerdo madre

Cuando era niño

Tú me brindabas

Tu buen amor,

Y en tu regazo

Tú me estrechabas

Y me contabas

Lindos cuentos de perdón.

Nunca en mi rostro

Madre del alma,

Sentí la ofensa

Que da el dolor,

Porque tus labios

Siempre me dieron

Dulces consuelos

Con ternura y con amor.



Pasó ya el recuerdo, dejando en el alma

Un vacío inmenso, que llena de dolor,

Triste y vencido por un destino cruel

Hoy lloro solo, con mi dolor, la ausencia de tu amor.

English lyrics of the Vals "A mi madre"

I cried in my life, alone,
For, my mother, I felt your love
Pass like a wind from yesterday
Consoling my pain, in my sad orphanhood.

I felt, sweet and kind old woman,
Your voice reborn in my heart,
And it was like a bird that passed
In my cold solitude, like a benevolent angel.

I remember, mother,
When I was a child,
You offered me
Your good love,
And in your lap,
You held me close
And you told me
Beautiful tales of forgiveness.

Never on my face,
Soulful mother,
Did I feel the offense
That pain brings,
Because your lips
Always gave me
Sweet consolations
With tenderness and with love.

The memory has passed, leaving in the soul
An immense emptiness, filled with pain,
Sad and defeated by a cruel fate
Today I cry alone, with my pain, the absence of your love.

Story behind the Tango A mi madre

“A mi madre” (To My Mother) is a poignant tribute to the unconditional love and nurturing that mothers provide. The lyrics are a deep exploration of grief and gratitude, addressing the irreplaceable role of a mother in one’s life. Each verse draws upon childhood memories, emphasizing the comfort and security felt in a mother’s presence and the profound loss experienced in her absence. Francisco Peña portrays his mother not just as a caregiver but as a guiding, benevolent spirit that continues to influence his life even after her physical departure.



Symbolism of A mi madre

Key phrases such as “Pasar como un viento del ayer” (Passing like a wind of yesterday) and “Consolando mi dolor” (Consoling my pain) symbolize the ephemeral yet impactful presence of the mother. The metaphor of her voice as a rebirth in his heart, “Nacer de nuevo en mi corazón tu voz,” exemplifies the everlasting impact of maternal wisdom. The imagery of his mother as “como un ángel bienhechor” (like a benevolent angel) elevates her memory to a divine, protective presence, underscoring her lasting importance and sanctity in the author’s heart.



A mi madre in historic Context

Recorded in 1948, a period marked by significant political and social changes in Argentina, “A mi madre” reflects a nostalgic escape to personal history and cherished memories amidst a nation fraught with uncertainty. The tender, sorrowful longing for the past days of maternal love serves as a counterpoint to the harsh realities of the time, providing a soulful respite from societal struggles.
