Letra del Tango Amor y tango

Compás floreado de tango
que al apretarme en tus brazos,
me está encendiendo en los labios
una palabra de amor.

Otro tango si no es tarde
para bailarlo los dos,
si son de un ritmo que late
lo mismo que un corazón.

El tiempo pasa de largo
cuando te abrazo en un tango.
Y estoy muriendo de antojos
por besarte en esos ojos
que al mirar me están quemando.
El tiempo pasa de largo
cuando te abrazo en un tango.
Mientras se quiebra
la voz de la orquesta
que dice de tango y amor.

Compás floreado de tango
me está endulzando el acento
para decirte “te quiero”
con mi mejor expresión.

Por tu amor y donde cuadre
se hace tango mi emoción,
al son de un ritmo que late
lo mismo que un corazón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Amor y tango"

Floral rhythm of tango
that, as I hold you in my arms,
ignites upon my lips
a word of love.

Another tango if it’s not too late
for us both to dance,
if it pulses with a rhythm
just like a heart.

Time passes by
when I embrace you in a tango.
And I am dying of cravings
to kiss you in those eyes
that, as they look at me, are burning.
Time passes by
when I embrace you in a tango.
While the voice
of the orchestra breaks,
speaking of tango and love.

Floral rhythm of tango
sweetens my tone
to tell you “I love you”
with my best expression.

For your love and wherever it fits
my emotion becomes a tango,
to the beat of a rhythm that pulses
just like a heart.

Story behind the Tango Amor y tango

The lyrics of “Amor y tango” reveal an intimate and passionate interaction between two lovers brought together by tango. The central motifs of embracing and dancing are metaphoric for deeper emotional communication and connection. Carlos Bahr utilizes the act of dancing tango as an avenue to express feelings, highlighting moments where words transition into physical closeness, thereby deepening the bond between the partners.



Symbolism of Amor y tango

Bahr extensively uses the imagery of tango as a dance that ignites love, symbolizing harmony and unity that align with the rhythm of the heart. Phrases like “me está encendiendo en los labios una palabra de amor” (igniting on my lips a word of love) and “mientras se quiebra la voz de la orquesta que dice de tango y amor” (as the voice of the orchestra breaks, speaking of tango and love) signify how the tango is not just a dance, but a communicative tool that conveys love and desire. Moreover, the repeated lines “el tiempo pasa de largo cuando te abrazo en un tango” (time passes by when I embrace you in a tango) emphasize the timelessness and encapsulating moment of dancing the tango, where nothing else matters.
