Letra del Vals Ay Aurora

Ay Aurora me has echado al abandono.
Yo que tanto y que tanto te he quería
y tu negra traición me echó el olvido
Ay Aurora… si te amo todavía.

Mas yo no puedo castigarla como debo esta falsía.
Castígala, Señor, con toda tu energía.
Que sufra mucho, pero que nunca muera,
Ay Aurora… si te amo todavía.

Mas no pretendas recuperar el trono
que tenías en mi pecho y lo has perdido.
Hasta el fondo del alma me has herido
y del fondo del alma te perdono.

English lyrics of the Vals "Ay Aurora"

Oh Aurora, you’ve abandoned me.
I, who loved you so very much,
and your dark betrayal has thrown me into oblivion.
Oh Aurora… I still love you.

Yet, I cannot punish this deception as it should be.
Lord, punish her with all your might.
Let her suffer greatly, but let her never die,
Oh Aurora… I still love you.

But do not expect to regain the throne
you had in my heart, which you’ve now lost.
You’ve wounded me to the depths of my soul
and from the depths of my soul, I forgive you.

Ay Aurora by Pedro Numa Córdoba

Ay Aurora is a Tango written by Pedro Numa Córdoba and composed by José Razzano.


Story behind the Tango Ay Aurora

At the heart of “Ay Aurora” lies a tale of love, betrayal, and forgiveness. The lyrics express a profound emotional turmoil experienced by the speaker, who feels abandoned by Aurora, a woman he deeply loved. Despite her betrayal, his love for her persists, illustrating the complex nature of love and attachment. The narrative conveys a blend of despair and enduring affection, reflecting the conflicting emotions that often accompany relationships marred by betrayal.


Symbolism of Ay Aurora

The use of “Ay” in “Ay Aurora” symbolizes a lament or a cry of pain, setting the tone for a deeply emotional appeal. Aurora, typically symbolizing dawn in literature, here represents the person who has both illuminated and darkened the speaker’s life. The phrases “me has echado al abandono” and “tu negra traición” point to abandonment and deceit, painting Aurora as the catalyst of the speaker’s sorrow yet paradoxically, the object of his unwavering love. The continual affirmation “si te amo todavía” (I still love you) highlights the enduring, albeit painful, affection that persists despite the wounds of betrayal.


Ay Aurora in Historic Context

“Ay Aurora” was composed in Argentina in 1939, a period marked by political and social upheaval. This context of uncertainty and disruption might be mirrored in the personal tumult described in the tango, suggesting how personal and societal chaos often intersect. The year 1939 saw the world on the brink of a devastating war, which could also metaphorically relate to the internal conflict and emotional turmoil experienced by the song’s protagonist.
