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"

Pilgrim and dreamer,
sing
I want my fantasy
and the mad poetry
that exists in my heart,
and filled with love and happiness,
I will pour out my song.

I have always felt
the sweet illusion,
of living
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 fragrance.

And in my nights of pain,
to talk
I go to the stars
and the most beautiful things,
awake I must dream,
because I entrust them
with all my longing to love.

I have always felt
the sweet illusion,
of living
my passion.

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

The recurring motifs of dreaming and passion seen in phrases like “vivir mi pasión” (to live my passion) and “yo sueño todo lo que canto” (I dream everything I sing) symbolize the bohemian’s uncontainable desire for a life filled with emotional richness and artistic expression. The song’s imagery of speaking with the stars and dreaming awake paints a romantic yet melancholic picture of the individual’s quest for understanding and expressing the ineffable depths of love.
