Letra del Tango Aquí en la tierra

Sé que aunque este amor es imposible,
Es divina la razón
Que a este amor inspiró.
Y algo hay en mi credo que me dice
Que no es vana la ilusión
De estar juntos los dos.

Mas quiero que suceda en esta vida,
Aquí, donde el milagro es el amor,
Aquí, donde mis sueños necesitan
El calor de tu sonrisa y el arrullo de tu voz.
Quiero que suceda en esta vida
Esta vida que nos dio, este amor a los dos.

Amor, te necesito ahora
Ahora que latiendo estoy,
Ahora que la sed me acosa
Con las ansias locas
De la tentación.
Ahora que mi boca besa
Y está viva mi emoción,
Ahora que en mis manos queman
Tus caricias, la pasión.
Ahora que el fervor te reza,
Pero aquí en la tierra
Su canción de amor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Aquí en la tierra"

I know that although this love is impossible,
Divine is the reason
That inspired this love.
And there’s something in my belief that tells me
That the dream
Of us being together is not in vain.

But I want it to happen in this life,
Here, where the miracle is love,
Here, where my dreams need
The warmth of your smile and the lull of your voice.
I want it to happen in this life,
This life that gave us, this love to both of us.

Love, I need you now
Now that I am throbbing,
Now that thirst torments me
With the crazy cravings
Of temptation.
Now that my mouth kisses
And my emotion is alive,
Now that in my hands burn
Your caresses, the passion.
Now that fervor prays to you,
But here on earth
Its song of love.

Story behind the Tango Aquí en la tierra

The tango “Aquí en la tierra” delves deeply into the theme of yearning for a seemingly impossible love. The lyrics reflect a profound desire for the fruition of love while still on Earth (“Aquí en la tierra”), emphasizing the longing for physical and emotional closeness. Carlos Bahr crafts an evocative narrative where love is elevated to a divine plane, yet he grounds this ideal in the tangible and immediate reality of human existence.



Symbolism of Aquí en la tierra

The title “Aquí en la tierra” translates to “Here on Earth,” symbolizing the grounding of heavenly emotions in the earthly realm. Bahr uses celestial and spiritual language, suggesting that while the love may seem otherworldly or divine, its expression and the need for its realization are deeply human and immediate (“Ahora que latiendo estoy”). This juxtaposition elevates the urgency and the pure intent behind the feelings expressed, setting a profound emotional landscape for the listener.



Aquí en la tierra in historic Context

Created in 1958, amidst a politically and socially turbulent period in Argentina, “Aquí en la tierra” might reflect personal solace found in intimate emotions amid broader societal unrest. The tango, with its deep roots in Argentine culture, often reflects personal struggles and societal issues subtly woven into its lyrics. The longing for a realized, tangible love could be seen as a metaphor for a broader societal yearning for peace and stability during a time when both were elusive.

Carlos Bahr was a prolific Argentine tango lyricist known for his profound and evocative lyrics that often explored themes of love, destiny, and existential reflections.
