Letra del Foxtrot Amor en Budapest

Fueron horas dulces que no olvidaré
las que viví en Budapest.
La juventud,
fiesta de un ensueño que creí sin fin,
gocé feliz.
Pero la vida me cambió
no soy más el mismo soñador;
todo, todo se ha esfumado
ese sueño ha terminado,
sólo quedan penas de un amor.

Yo recuerdo feliz, Budapest,
tus gitanas de dulce mirar…
En las noches de amor, Budapest,
tu Danubio nos hizo soñar…
Tus embrujos misteriosos,
mis romances venturosos.
Tus violines tristes, Budapest,
en mis noches los oigo llorar…
Es la vida un triste carnaval, al fin,
rodar, sufrir y envejecer…

Todos en la farsa divirtámonos
hay que vivir
la juventud…
Quiero yo mi copa siempre alzar,
el dolor se acaba con champán.
Fiestas… risas… olvidemos…
Poco a poco envejecemos
esta vida pronto se nos va…

English lyrics of the Foxtrot "Amor en Budapest"

Sweet hours I won’t forget
those I lived in Budapest.
Youth,
a dream feast I believed had no end,
I enjoyed happily.
But life changed me
I’m no longer that same dreamer;
everything, everything has faded away,
that dream has ended,
only sorrows from a love remain.

I remember happily, Budapest,
your gypsies with sweet gazes…
On the nights of love, Budapest,
your Danube made us dream…
Your mysterious enchantments,
my fortunate romances.
Your sad violins, Budapest,
at night I hear them cry…
Life is a sad carnival, after all,
to wander, to suffer, and to age…

All in the farce, let’s have fun
we must live
the youth…
I want to always raise my glass,
pain ends with champagne.
Parties… laughter… let’s forget…
We age little by little
this life soon slips away…

Story behind the Tango Amor en Budapest

The lyrics of “Amor en Budapest” reflect a nostalgic and emotional reflection of past joys experienced in Budapest. The speaker reminisces about a youthful period filled with dreams and happiness, now seemingly lost to the changes of time. The city of Budapest, with its enchanting nights and the romantic Danube, serves as the backdrop for these sweet memories, enhancing the sense of a lost youthful paradise characterized by love and music, particularly the haunting sounds of violins that seem to weep in the night.



Symbolism of Amor en Budapest

In “Amor en Budapest,” symbolic elements such as the Danube and gypsy violins are used to evoke deep emotions and memories. The Danube, a central and enduring symbol, represents the flow of life and time, while the gypsy violins signify the enduring sorrow and the melancholic beauty of memories that continue to haunt the speaker. The recurrent themes of celebration and despair are juxtaposed to show life’s fleeting nature, encapsulated in the metaphor of life as a “sad carnival” where everyone must play their part before fading away.



Amor en Budapest in Historic Context

Recorded in 1940 Argentina, “Amor en Budapest” emerges at a time when the world was on the brink of upheaval due to World War II. The tango, a genre known for its emotive prowess, captures not only personal heartaches but also a communal feeling of impending change and loss. The festive yet melancholic tone of the song potentially mirrors the broader societal uncertainties and the unforgettable impact of a Europe that would soon be irreversibly transformed by the war.



Alberto Novarro

Alberto Novarro was a notable contributor to the tango scene, particularly recognized for his evocative lyrics that often encapsulated themes of love, loss, and nostalgia.
