Letra del Tango Alma de bohemio

Peregrino y soñador,
cantar
quiero mi fantasía
y la loca poesía
que hay en mi corazón,
y lleno de amor y de alegría,
volcaré mi canción.

Siempre sentí
la dulce ilusión,
de estar viviendo
mi pasión.

Si es que vivo lo que sueño,
yo sueño todo lo que canto,
por eso mi encanto
es el amor.
Mi pobre alma de bohemio
quiere acariciar
y como una flor
perfumar.

Y en mis noches de dolor,
a hablar
me voy con las estrellas
y las cosas más bellas,
despierto he de soñar,
porque le confío a ellas
toda mi sed de amar.

Siempre sentí
la dulce ilusión,
de estar viviendo
mi pasión.

Yo busco en los ojos celestes
y renegridas cabelleras,
pasiones sinceras,
dulce emoción.
Y en mi triste vida errante
llena de ilusión,
quiero dar todo
mi corazón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Alma de bohemio"

Wanderer and dreamer,
I yearn to sing
my fantasies,
and the wild poetry
within my heart,
filled with love and joy,
I’ll pour out my song.

I’ve always felt
the sweet illusion
of living out
my passion.

If I live what I dream,
I dream all that I sing,
thus my enchantment
is love.
My poor bohemian soul
desires to caress
and like a flower,
to perfume.

And in my nights of pain,
I speak
with the stars,
and the most beautiful things,
awake I must dream,
for I entrust to them
all my thirst for love.

I’ve always felt
the sweet illusion
of living out
my passion.

I seek in azure eyes
and jet black hair,
sincere passions,
sweet emotion.
And in my sad, wandering life
full of hope,
I want to give all
my heart.

The narrator identifies as a wanderer and dreamer, expressing his experiences and emotions through the medium of song. The lyrics celebrate a life lived passionately, with love and joy being the central themes conveyed as the singer shares his fantasies and the fervent poetry of his heart.

For instance, the narrator talks of conversing with the stars during nights of pain (“a hablar me voy con las estrellas”), using celestial imagery to convey the idea of seeking comfort and guidance from the eternal and distant. Furthermore, the recurring theme of dreaming (“yo sueño todo lo que canto”) underlines the blurring lines between reality and aspirations, emphasizing the intense connection between the artist’s dreams and his art. This tango uses natural and celestial symbolism to explore themes of love, aspiration, and emotional expression.



Alma de bohemio in historic Context

In this context, the tango might be seen as an escape into art, passion, and personal expression amidst a turbulent world. The lyrics’ focus on personal emotion and the bohemian lifestyle reflect a shift from societal concerns to individual introspection and artistic expression, a common theme in cultural movements during times of hardship.
