Letra del Tango Camino

Inquietud…
En tu boca hubo al besar,
Y en tus ojos al mirar
Desconfiando de mi amor.
Temerosa en nuestro cielo,
Nublaste con el lento
Martirio de tus celos.
Inquietud…
Al pensar que otro querer,
Más intenso, iba a poder
Conquistar mi corazón.

Camino del misterio
Camino del dolor,
Por donde van las almas
Con su desilusión.
Yo busco en tu silencio
Borrar del corazón,
Este pesar inmenso
Que me dejó el amor.

Llevando flores negras
Y en tu soledad,
Y lenta las campanas
De mi alma doblarán.
Si alguno te pregunta
Por mí, tú le dirás,
Que envuelto en la penumbra
Soy una sombra más.

English lyrics of the Tango "Camino"

Restlessness…
In your kiss, there was unease,
And in your eyes when you looked at me,
Distrusting my love.
Fearful in our sky,
You clouded it with the slow
Torment of your jealousies.
Restlessness…
Thinking that another love,
More intense, could manage
To conquer my heart.

Path of mystery,
Path of pain,
Where souls go
With their disillusionment.
In your silence, I seek
To erase from my heart
This immense sorrow
Left by love.

Carrying black flowers
And in your solitude,
Slowly the bells
Of my soul will toll.
If someone asks you
About me, you’ll tell them,
Wrapped in the twilight,
I am just another shadow.

Story behind the Tango Camino

The lyrics of “Camino” reflect a profound narrative of emotional turmoil and mistrust within a romantic relationship. The singer expresses sentiments of insecurity and jealousy that tainted the love shared between the partners. The lyrics begin with a depiction of a kiss and a look that were marred by doubt, highlighting the theme of mistrust and the pain it brings to love.



Symbolism of Camino

The title “Camino,” meaning ‘path’ or ‘way’ in English, represents the journey of the soul through experiences of love and disillusionment. The use of phrases like “Camino del misterio” and “Camino del dolor” symbolizes a path shrouded in mystery and marked by pain. The imagery of “carrying black flowers” in solitude and hearing the slow tolling of bells symbolizes mourning and the profound loneliness following a loss or a heartbreak. This symbolism powerfully encapsulates the emotional landscape of the tango’s narrative.



Camino in historic Context

“Camino” was written during a tumultuous period in Argentina’s history, around World War II, bearing an environment filled with uncertainty and emotional distress. The expressions and themes of pain, jealousy, and the search for peace within the lyrics resonate deeply with the broader social and economic instability of the time. Emotional expressions in tango served not only as personal outpourings but also as reflections of the societal mood.
