Amante corazón is a Tango written by Roberto Marano and composed by Domingo Julio Vivas.
The tango “Amante corazón” tells a poetic story of unrequited love and deep admiration towards a beloved woman, described lyrically in a manner that elevates her almost to heavenly status. The protagonist expresses his awe for her beauty and grace, comparing her to mythological goddesses and heavenly bodies, yet feels a harrowing premonition that he may never possess her love entirely.
The tango is rich in symbolic imagery, enhancing its emotional depth. Phrases like “Tu belleza es como hálito de rosas” symbolize the natural, intoxicating beauty of the woman, likening her essence to the fragrant breath of roses. This natural imagery continues with “Tus encantos florecieron entre diosas,” suggesting that her beauty is so profound that it blooms even among goddesses. The recurring theme of celestial and supernatural references culminates in metaphors and vivid descriptions that paint a picture of an almost divine figure, unreachable and sublime.
Recorded in 1933 in Argentina, “Amante corazón” was created during a tumultuous period in history, reflecting a mix of hope, romanticism, and a tinge of melancholy—common sentiments in the arts during the early 20th century. The tango, a dance known for its expressions of yearning and the complexities of love, serves as a perfect medium to convey these emotions. The historical backdrop of Argentina during this era, characterized by political changes and cultural shifts, might also mirror the tango’s themes of longing and unattainable desires.
Roberto Marano was an influential figure in the Argentine tango scene, known for his poignant lyrics that often explored themes of love, melancholy, and passion.
