A unos ojos is a Tango written by Hernan Videla Flores and composed by Carlos Montbrun Ocampo.
The lyrics of “A unos ojos,” crafted by Hernan Videla Flores, embody a profound adoration and emotional reflection directed towards a beloved’s eyes. These eyes are described not just as a physical feature but as a window to the soul and a source of emotional sustenance. The heartfelt depiction suggests a deep connection and possibly unspoken communication between the lyrical voice and the subject, emphasizing the significant role eyes play in conveying feelings and emotions in romantic relationships.
The eyes in “A unos ojos” transcend mere physical attributes, symbolizing clarity, purity, and the emotional state of the beholder. They “have the same brightness as the dawn,” suggesting a new beginning or hope, and “the smoothness of a caress,” implying tenderness and intimacy. Additionally, phrases like “they know how to cry in sorrow when I cry” and “they fill up with love when I kiss them” highlight a profound empathic connection, suggesting the eyes as a mirror to one’s soul, reflecting and responding to shared emotional experiences.
The Tango, recorded in 1949 in Argentina, comes from a period when the country was experiencing significant political and social changes. This era saw Tango evolving from dance halls to a more profound, introspective lyrical form, mirroring the complexity of the human experience during uncertain times. “A unos ojos” embodies this shift, focusing on a deeper emotional and personal narrative rather than just a danceable melody, offering an escapism and solace through the romantic yet soulful exploration of personal feelings and relationships.
Hernan Videla Flores was an Argentine poet and lyricist known for his contributions to Tango music, capturing deep emotions and narratives through his lyrics.
