Letra del Tango Adiós adiós amor

Por salvar, todo lo puro
Que hubo en tu amor,
Todo el cariño
Que hubo entre los dos,
Yo preferí hacerme odiar.
Fui poco para vos
Y vos mucho para mí,
Y preferí perder, que fue morir,
Morir en vida sin tenerte y adorarte
Y hundirme solo para llorar.

Sólo Dios sabe
Lo que fue perderte así,
Morder tu nombre, llamándote
Y ahogar tu nombre en mi voz.
Adiós, adiós, sueño querido
Sueño de amor roto al nacer,
Adiós, adiós, amor
Te dije igual que ayer,
Hoy que otra vez tu voz
Se acercó hasta mí.

English lyrics of the Tango "Adiós adiós amor"

To preserve everything pure
That was in your love,
All the affection
That existed between us,
I chose to be hated.
I was too little for you,
And you were too much for me,
And I chose to lose, which was to die,
To die in life without having and adoring you
And to sink alone in tears.

Only God knows
What it was like to lose you like this,
To bite your name, calling you
And to drown your name in my voice.
Goodbye, goodbye, beloved dream
A dream of love broken at birth,
Goodbye, goodbye, love
I told you just like yesterday,
Today, once again, your voice
Came close to me.

Story behind the Tango Adiós adiós amor

The lyrics of “Adiós adiós amor” describe a poignant farewell between lovers, typifying the emotive depth of Tango music. In a journey of emotional sacrifice, the narrator chooses to be vilified rather than compromise the purity and kindness once shared. This choice highlights a dramatic, self-inflicted separation, driven by a realization of unworthiness (‘Fui poco para vos y vos mucho para mí’), suggesting an imbalanced relationship where the speaker felt lesser. The essence of losing oneself completely in the sorrow of unattainable love paints a powerful narrative of heartbreak and unrequited affection.



Symbolism of Adiós adiós amor

The recurring phrase “Adiós, adiós amor” translates to “Goodbye, goodbye love,” marking a definitive end to the relationship. This could symbolize death, not in a literal sense but as the death of the relationship and the persona that thrived within it. The act of ‘morder tu nombre, llamándote’ (biting your name, calling you) vividly conveys the pain and frustration of unspoken words and suppressed feelings, likely reflecting the internal torment of holding back to preserve cherished memories unspoiled by ongoing conflict. This juxtaposition of silence and suffering underscores a poignant resignation to fate.



Adiós adiós amor in historic Context

Composed in 1956, a period marked by social and political shifts in Argentina, this tango might resonate with the personal and collective displacements experienced by Argentinians during tumultuous times. The theme of parting ways with a beloved might metaphorically reflect a broader sense of separation from the past or the traditional values being challenged during the 1950s. It was also a time when Tango was evolving as a genre, becoming a vessel for more personal, introspective expressions of emotional and societal commentaries.
