Letra del Vals Añoranzas

El cierzo helado mató las flores
que florecieron en mi rosal,
y de los tientos de mis amores,
solo y desierto está el barandal.
Está en el patio la misma fuente
que mis canciones logró escuchar,
pero a su vera, con voz doliente,
el cruel invierno viene a cantar.

Las golondrinas que ayer tejieron
su amante nido, lleno de amor,
se consultaron y ya se fueron
hacia otros climas de más calor.
Los copos blancos van sepultando
todo lo hermoso, todo el amor,
y ya en las almas está cantando
la musa triste, la del dolor.

Pero el invierno, con su tristeza,
pronto el reinado terminará,
vendrán de nuevo esas bellezas
y el mundo entero feliz se reirá.
El alma mía, flor delicada,
no ha sucumbido ante el dolor,
porque se sabe de ti adorada,
porque la cuida siempre tu amor.

English lyrics of the Vals "Añoranzas"

The freezing north wind killed the flowers
that bloomed in my rosebush,
and from the tendrils of my loves,
the railing stands alone and deserted.
The same fountain is in the courtyard
that managed to hear my songs,
but at its side, with a grieving voice,
cruel winter comes to sing.

The swallows that yesterday wove
their loving nest, full of love,
consulted each other and have already left
for warmer climates.
The white flakes are burying
everything beautiful, all the love,
and now in the souls, the sad muse,
the one of pain, is singing.

But winter, with its sadness,
will soon end its reign,
those beauties will come back again
and the whole world will laugh happily.
My soul, a delicate flower,
has not succumbed to pain,
for it knows itself adored by you,
for it is always cared for by your love.

Story behind the Tango Añoranzas

“Añoranzas” translates to “Longings” or “Yearnings” in English, painting a rich tapestry of deep emotional reflection and pining for what once was. The lyrics depict a scene of wintery desolation where the biting north wind has killed the roses of the narrator’s garden, symbolizing lost vibrancy and vitality in his life. It reflects on the change from lively, love-filled times to desolate and lonely moments, possibly hinting at lost love or a significant life transition.



Symbolism of Añoranzas

The eloquent imagery of “El cierzo helado mató las flores,” depicts the harshness of life changes, using winter’s cold as a metaphor for emotional coldness or a time of hardship. This contrasts with the warmth and love associated with the blooming roses and the swallow’s nest mentioned later. There’s also lyrical symbolism in descriptions like “todo lo hermoso, todo el amor,” suggesting a burial of all things beautiful and loving under snow, symbolizing suppressed emotions or forgotten joys.



Añoranzas in Historic Context

The tango “Añoranzas” was penned and released in 1944, a time when Argentina and much of the world were under the intense strain of World War II. In this context, the song’s themes of loss, change, and hope for rejuvenation likely resonated deeply with its audience, transcending personal sorrow to echo a universal longing for peace and recovery. The enduring hope, despite prevailing sorrow, reflects the resilience to overcome difficulties, mirroring the societal sentiments of that era.
