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,
sing
I want my fantasy,
and the crazy poetry
that’s in my heart,
filled with love and joy,
my song I will spill.

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

If I live what I dream,
I dream all that I sing,
that’s why my charm
is love.
My poor bohemian soul
wants to caress
and like a flower,
give scent.

And in my nights of pain,
to talk
I go with the stars
and the loveliest things,
awake I must dream,
for to them I entrust
my whole thirst to love.

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

I seek in bright blue eyes
and raven-black hair,
sincere passions,
sweet emotion.
And in my sad wandering life
filled with illusion,
I want to give all
of my heart.

This tango paints a vivid portrait of a person whose life is guided by passion, dreams, and an intense love for the poetic.



Symbolism of Alma de bohemio

The tango uses symbols like conversing with the stars during nights of pain, seeking to understand life’s deeper meanings and emotional connections. This dialogue with the celestial portrays a deep yearning for companionship and understanding, often reflected in the life of a bohemian artist. The emotional depth is further enhanced by the expressions of yearning to give his entire heart and seeking genuine passions, illustrating the romantic’s search for authenticity in a transient world.
