Letra del Milonga Así nació esta milonga

Como una saeta rubia
Yo la vi… que se venía,
Gambeteando los piropos
De la barra de la esquina.
Cuando la tuve a mi lado
La miré y así le dije:
Desde que la vi la quise… y usted
Y usted qué dice, mi amor.

Para lograr su corazón
Sin vacilar la vida doy,
Porque adivino que su alma es una rosa
Que allí se esconden las cositas más hermosas…
Diga que sí, que sí, mi amor
Para vivir juntos los dos,
Y enlazaremos nuestros labios en un beso
Junto al compás de este cariño, corazón…

Ella se fue sonriendo
Yo quedé… triste, pensando,
En sus ojitos de cielo
En el rojo de sus labios.
Tarareando… tarareando
Me alejé de aquella esquina,
Y así nació esta milonga
Que me inspirara su amor.

English lyrics of the Milonga "Así nació esta milonga"

Like a golden arrow
I saw her coming,
Dodging the compliments
From the corner crew.
When I had her by my side
I looked at her and so I said:
Since I saw you I wanted you… and you,
And what do you say, my love?

To win your heart,
Without hesitation, I’d give my life,
For I sense that your soul is a rose
Where the most beautiful things are hidden…
Say yes, yes, my love,
To live together as one,
And we’ll merge our lips in a kiss
Along with the rhythm of this affection, my heart…

She left smiling,
I stayed… sad, thinking,
About her sky-blue eyes,
About the red of her lips.
Humming… humming,
I walked away from that corner,
And thus was born this milonga
Inspired by her love.

Story behind the Tango Así nació esta milonga

The tango “Así nació esta milonga” tells a poignant story of a man who encounters an enchanting woman and becomes immediately smitten. The lyrics capture his attempt to express his feelings and win her affection, set against a backdrop of local charm and the rhythm of daily life. When she leaves, her memory ignites his inspiration, leading to the creation of the milonga that reflects his emotions and experiences.



Symbolism of Así nació esta milonga

In the lyrics, the woman is described almost mystically, highlighting her allure and the impact she has on the narrator. Phrases like “Como una saeta rubia” liken her to a swift arrow, suggesting both her striking appearance and piercing effect on his heart. The neighborhood setting, with its casual exchanges of flattering remarks (“piropos”), conveys a familiar, communal atmosphere, contrasting with the personal, intimate connections formed within it. The song beautifully employs metaphors like her soul being “una rosa” with hidden beauties, which enhances the lyrical allure and romance of the piece.



Así nació esta milonga in historic Context

Recorded in the late 1950s in Argentina, “Así nació esta milonga” reflects the cultural richness of Buenos Aires, where tango was an integral part of the social fabric. The milonga, a precursor to tango with a faster rhythm, often explores themes of love, passion, and sometimes sorrow. This period was rich in artistic expression, with milonga music serving both as a dance form and a way of storytelling. The historical context of post-war Argentina, dealing with cultural shifts and modernization, also adds layers of nostalgia and communal memory to the song.
