Letra del Tango Bailongo de los domingos

Novela del bailarín que es tristeza
y cacho en cada salón de mi ciudad
pero vió el a la mujer
cuando ella te ve soñando a compás
silenciosos van los dos
y dejas que hable por vos
la milonga en sus floreos
vieja queja de pasión
renovando pareja con este son
bailongo de los domingos
por vos ni he vuelto a los pingos
y encadenado a tus tangos
hoy vivo cautivo
del ritmo dulzón.

Emoción hay una sola
y es el llanto de los fuelles
trayendo acordes de Arolas
bailongo de los domingos
remanso del corazón

English lyrics of the Tango "Bailongo de los domingos"

Novel of the dancer who is sadness,
and a piece in each dance hall of my city,
but he saw her,
when she sees you dreaming in rhythm.
Silently, the two go,
letting the milonga speak for you
with its flourishes,
old complaint of passion,
renewing the pair with this sound,
Sunday’s dancefest,
for you, I haven’t returned to the races,
and chained to your tangos,
today I live captive
of the sweet rhythm.

There is only one emotion
and it is the weeping of the bellows,
bringing chords of Arolas,
Sunday’s dancefest,
haven of the heart.

Story behind the Tango Bailongo de los domingos

The lyrics of “Bailongo de los domingos” narrate the experiences of a dancer whose life revolves around the melancholy yet captivating milieu of dance halls across his city. These venues not only serve as the backdrop for his routines but also witness his emotional journey. A significant turning point occurs when he encounters a woman who transforms his outlook, compelling him to immerse himself solely in this world, expressed through the dedicated and rhythmic movements of the tango. The narrative carries a tone of nostalgic surrender to the seductive allure of dance, anchoring his existence more to these emotional experiences rather than the mundane realities of everyday life.



Symbolism of Bailongo de los domingos

The “Bailongo de los domingos” symbolizes more than just a Sunday dance event; it represents a sanctuary of heart and emotion amid the ordinariness of life. Phrases like “la milonga en sus floreos” and “renovando pareja con este son” evoke images of intricate dance steps and musical flourishes that rejuvenate the soul, symbolic of new beginnings or ongoing cycles of relationships and passions. The reference to “los fuelles” and “acordes de Arolas” touches upon the deep emotional release through the musical instrument (bellow of the bandoneón) and possibly nods to the legendary tango composer Eduardo Arolas, linking personal emotion with cultural heritage.



Bailongo de los domingos in historic Context

Recorded in 1943, a period marked by global unrest during World War II, “Bailongo de los domingos” emerges from Argentina, a country distant yet not detached from global tensions. During such times, tango often functioned as both an escape and a subtle expression of deeper societal undercurrents. The song’s focus on personal emotion and communal dance can be seen as a reflection of a society clinging to cultural expressions of identity and normalcy amidst global chaos. The tango thus stands out not just as a musical form but as a dynamic cultural response to historical upheavals.
