Letra del Tango Cada vez que me recuerdes

Como un fantasma gris llegó el hastío
hasta tu corazón, que aún era mío,
y poco a poco te fue envolviendo
y poco a poco te fuiste yendo…
Si grande fue tu amor cuando viniste
más grande fue el dolor cuando te fuiste…
Triste tañido de las campanas
doblando en mi soledad…

Cada vez que me recuerdes
la noche amiga me lo dirá
y donde el cielo y el mar se pierden
¡cuántas estrellas me alumbrarán!
Cada vez que me recuerdes
tu pensamiento me besará
y cuando el fin de tu vida llegue
junto a tu vida me sentirás…

Mi corazón se fue tras de tus pasos…
¡El pobre estaba ya hecho pedazos!
Y entre mis manos, mis manos yertas,
las esperanzas quedaron muertas…
Si hay algo que jamás yo te perdono
es que olvidaste aquí, con tu abandono,
eso tan tuyo, ese algo tuyo
que envuelve todo mi ser…

English lyrics of the Tango "Cada vez que me recuerdes"

Like a gray ghost, boredom arrived
to your heart, which was still mine,
and little by little it enveloped you
and bit by bit you drifted away…
If great was your love when you came,
greater was the pain when you left…
Sad ringing of the bells
tolling in my solitude…

Each time you remember me
the friendly night will tell me so
and where the sky and the sea vanish
how many stars will light up for me!
Each time you remember me
your thoughts will kiss me
and when the end of your life comes
close to your life, you will feel me…

My heart followed your footsteps…
Oh, it was already shattered!
And between my hands, my lifeless hands,
hopes remained dead…
If there’s something I’ll never forgive
it’s that you forgot here, with your abandonment,
that thing so yours, that something of yours
that envelops my entire being…

Story behind the Tango Cada vez que me recuerdes

The lyrics of “Cada vez que me recuerdes” depict a poignant tale of love and loss, imbued with melancholy and reflection. The speaker recounts the departure of a beloved, which transformed their passionate love into profound sorrow. The narrative is framed by an emotional journey from union to separation, leaving the speaker in solitude, accompanied only by the metaphorical tolling of bells that resonate with their loneliness.



Symbolism of Cada vez que me recuerdes

The opening verse uses the metaphor of a “gray ghost” to symbolize “hastío” (tedium or weariness) that invades and envelops the heart, ultimately leading to the departure of the beloved. This imagery sets a somber tone, suggesting the inevitable decay of emotions. The recurring mention of stars and the sea merging represents both endless longing and the vast separation between the lovers. The stars symbolize both guidance and memory—each time the lover remembers, the stars light up, suggesting that love, even when lost, leaves a lasting impact. The phrase “tu pensamiento me besará” (your thought will kiss me) poignantly illustrates the intangible, yet touching presence of memory.
