Letra del Tango Bailemos

No llores, no muchacha, la gente está mirando
bailemos este tango, el tango del adiós…
así entre mis brazos, mirándote a los ojos
yo quiero despedirme sin llanto y sin dolor…
La vida caprichosa nos puso frente a frente
prendiendo en nuestro pecho la hoguera de un querer,
mas hoy, la misma vida nos manda separarnos
el sueño de querernos, ya ves, no puede ser…

Bailemos
como antes, cariñito,
abrazados, bien juntitos,
sólo un alma entre los dos…
Bailemos
que no vea en tus pupilas
una lágrima furtiva,
ni una sombra, ni un dolor…
Bailemos
que después ya sin tus ojos
he de arrancar un sollozo
por mi amor y por tu amor…
Siempre
estarás en mi desvelo
¡como una estrella en el cielo
prendida en mi corazón!

No intentes rebelarte, lo nuestro es imposible,
un sueño irrealizable que nunca floreció,
qué importa que nos una un mismo sentimiento
y encienda nuestras almas la antorcha del amor…
Que tengas mucha suerte, que Dios no te abandone,
yo sé que a mí me espera la eterna soledad,
no tiembles en mis brazos, te ruego me perdones,
el tango ya termina… salgamos a llorar…

English lyrics of the Tango "Bailemos"

Don’t cry, don’t, girl, people are watching
let’s dance this tango, the tango of goodbye…
So in my arms, looking into your eyes
I want to part without crying and without pain…
Whimsical life that brought us face to face
igniting in our chests the fire of love,
but now, the same life demands we separate
the dream to love each other, you see, cannot be…

Let’s dance
like before, my dear,
embraced, close together,
just one soul between the two of us…
Let’s dance
and let not your eyes reveal
a secret tear,
nor shadow, nor pain…
Let’s dance
because after without your eyes
I will have to force a sob
for my love and for your love…
Always
you will be in my sleepless night
like a star in the sky
affixed to my heart!

Do not try to rebel, ours is impossible,
an unachievable dream that never bloomed,
what does it matter that we share the same feeling
and light our souls with the torch of love…
Wishing you the very best, may God not forsake you,
I know eternal loneliness awaits me,
do not tremble in my arms, I beg your forgiveness,
the tango is ending… let’s go out to cry…

Story behind the Tango Bailemos

Bailemos, which translates to “Let’s Dance” in English, portrays a poignant scene of a farewell between two lovers. The core of the song revolves around the narrators’ attempt to mask their sadness with a final dance. This dance, set to the rhythm of a tango, serves as their last act together, with the narrator urging his partner to dance without showing sorrow or tears. Through the act of dancing, they aim to share a moment of closeness and tenderness one last time before parting ways forever.



Symbolism of Bailemos

The tango itself is symbolic within this piece, representing both connection and separation. Tango, a dance known for its intimacy and passion, in this context symbolizes the deep connection the couple once shared. However, it is also the medium through which they are saying goodbye, marking a painful separation. Phrases like “el tango del adiós” (the tango of goodbye) and “abrazados, bien juntitos” (embraced, very close together) highlight the contrasting emotions of warmth and inevitable farewell. The recurring urging to keep dancing without showing signs of pain underscores a poignant desire to preserve dignity and strength in the face of loss.



Bailemos in historic Context

Created in 1956, a period when tango was a potent cultural expression in Argentina, “Bailemos” is imbued with the emotional and societal undertones of its time. Post World War II era was a time of significant change and introspection, reflected in the arts and specifically in tango music, which often explored themes of loss, nostalgia, and the bittersweet parts of life. The song’s emphasis on parting ways, encapsulated in the dance of tango, can be seen as reflective of the broader societal experiences of dislocation and the quest for personal solace in traditional cultural expressions during a rapidly changing world.
