Letra del Tango Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires la Reina del Plata,
Buenos Aires mi tierra querida;
escuchá mi canción
que con ella va mi vida.

En mis horas de fiebre y orgía,
harto ya de placer y locura,
en ti pienso patria mía
para calmar mi amargura.

Noches porteñas, bajo tu manto
dichas y llanto muy juntos van.
Risas y besos, farra corrida,
todo se olvida con el champán.

Y a la salida de la milonga
se oye a una nena pidiendo pan,
por algo es que en el gotán
siempre solloza una pena.

Y al compás rezongón de los fuelles
un bacán a la mina la embrolla,
y el llorar del violín va
pintando el alma criolla.

Buenos Aires, cual a una querida
si estás lejos mejor hay que amarte,
y decir toda la vida
antes morir que olvidarte.

English lyrics of the Tango "Buenos Aires "

Buenos Aires, the Queen of the Silver,
Buenos Aires, my dear land;
listen to my song
for with it goes my life.

In my hours of fever and frenzy,
weary of pleasure and madness,
I think of you, my homeland
to calm my bitterness.

Night of Buenos Aires, under your cloak
joy and tears walk together.
Laughter and kisses, fling and spree,
everything is forgotten with champagne.

And at the exit of the milonga
you hear a girl begging for bread,
that’s why in the tango
a sorrow always sobs.

And to the grumbling rhythm of the bandoneons
a man plays tricks on the girl,
and the crying of the violin
paints the Creole soul.

Buenos Aires, as with a loved one
if you’re far it’s better to love you,
and say all of life
better to die than forget you.

Story behind the Tango Buenos Aires

The tango “Buenos Aires” serves as both an ode to the city and a reflective exploration of its deeper emotional and cultural layers. Through evocative language, it captures the essence of Buenos Aires as a vibrant yet bittersweet metropolis, embodying the duality of joy and sorrow that marks the human experience. The lyrics express a profound connection to the city, articulated through the lens of personal longing and nostalgic love.

Symbolism of Buenos Aires

The lyrics are rich with symbolism, highlighting Buenos Aires as “la Reina del Plata,” illustrating its regal and esteemed status in the narrator’s heart. The city is portrayed as an endless source of both pleasure and pain. The reference to “noches porteñas” and “farra corrida” symbolize the nightlife and never-ending festivities but are juxtaposed with the harsh realities represented by a “nena pidiendo pan.” This contrast underscores the socio-economic disparities and emotional complexities typical of urban life. The “llorar del violín” and “alma criolla” highlight the sentimental depth and cultural identity intertwined with the city’s spirit, while “antes morir que olvidarte” expresses a devotion that transcends life and death.
