Lyrics Translation of the Tango Aromas

Letra del Tango Aromas

En mi pecho anida una pena
que no sé del todo explicar,
sólo siento que corre serena
una vida que pasa y se va.
Como aromas deja el pasado
de otro tiempo que fue mejor,
y ese sueño de niño dorado
vio lo cierto cuando despertó.

Es el recuerdo de ayer
que me invita a pensar,
porque palpito en él:
las aventuras de amor,
el colegio, el placer
que hallaba juguetón.
Y de las flores de casa
aquel perfume embriagador
ya no siente el que pasa
porque fue el tiempo
quien lo llevó.

Cuando tu mente vuelva
a los años que se van,
siempre verá la huella
con antojo de llorar.

¡Cuántas las ilusiones!…
¡Cuantas mi alma vio pasar,
y ellas están entonces
casi borradas porque se van!

English lyrics of the Tango "Aromas"

In my chest nests a sorrow
that I can’t fully explain,
I only feel it flow calmly
a life that passes and fades away.
Like scents left by the past
from a better time once had,
and that dream of a golden child
saw the truth when he woke.

It’s the memory of yesterday
that invites me to think,
for I feel it throb:
the love affairs,
the school, the joy
found in playful moments.
And from the flowers at home
that intoxicating scent
is no longer sensed by the passerby
for it was time
that took it away.

When your mind returns
to the years slipping away,
it will always see the trace
with a longing to cry.

How many illusions!…
How many my soul saw pass,
and there they are then
nearly erased because they fade!

Story behind the Tango Aromas

The lyrics of “Aromas” depict a poignant reflection on the past, interweaving themes of nostalgia and the transient nature of life. Through the narrative, the speaker voices a deep-seated melancholy, stemming from an ineffable sense of loss. What stands out is the serene yet sorrowful acknowledgment of time passing and life’s experiences progressively fading.



Symbolism of Aromas

The recurring motif of ‘aromas’ symbolizes fleeting memories and moments that once brought joy but have gradually faded away. The use in “Como aromas deja el pasado” illustrates how the past leaves behind subtle hints of what used to be, similar to how a scent lingers but cannot be grasped or retained. Furthermore, the speaker reflects on the evanescence of youthful dreams and love, which, although vibrant and poignant at the moment, inevitably dim and dissipate over time.



Aromas in historic Context

Recorded in 1938 Argentina, “Aromas” can be seen as a reflective piece influenced by the socio-economic atmosphere of the time. During this period, Argentina was transitioning politically and culturally, which could have inspired contemplations on how the golden era of the past is perceived versus the evolving present. This yearning for a better, bygone time could mirror the cultural sentiment of a society grappling with change.



Emilio Fresedo

Emilio Fresedo was a notable Argentine lyricist, part of the rich legacy of Tango culture. His works often evoke deep emotional and cultural contemplations.
