Letra del Tango Canción del olvido

Recitado:
Junto al retrato del hombre,
que mas amaba en el mundo
sumida en dolor profundo,
así cantó una mujer:

En la copa fatal de mi angustia
busco en vano beber el olvido,
pues lo mismo que un pájaro herido,
ya mis alas no puedo agitar.
Cuantos años de ausencia y no has vuelto,
será acaso que no te conviene,
y sin embargo sos padre de un nene
que llamándote está sin cesar.

Vos no sabés
que lindo está,
hoy, pues si lo ves,
te sorprenderás,
vieras que bien
dice papá.
Tu mala acción
olvidaré
y de corazón,
te recibiré,
con el perdón
que ansiosa te daré.

No es posible vivir así triste,
entregada al suplicio más cruento,
necesito tus frases de aliento,
tus miradas y besos de ayer.
Devolveme la dicha perdida,
retornando tu mismo a mi lado,
ya que el fruto de nuestro pecado
ha venido a cantar mi querer.

English lyrics of the Tango "Canción del olvido"

Recited:
Next to the portrait of the man,
whom she loved most in the world,
sunk in deep sorrow,
a woman sang like this:

In the fatal cup of my anguish,
I vainly seek to drink oblivion,
for, like a wounded bird,
my wings I can no longer flutter.
Many years of absence, and you’ve not returned,
could it be that it doesn’t suit you?
And yet you are the father of a child
who is ceaselessly calling for you.

You don’t know
how lovely he is,
today, if you saw him,
you’d be surprised,
you’d see how well
he says dad.
Your bad deed
I will forget,
and wholeheartedly,
I will welcome you,
with the forgiveness
I eagerly offer.

It’s not possible to live so saddened,
surrendered to the most cruel torment,
I need your words of encouragement,
your gazes and kisses from the past.
Give me back the joy I’ve lost,
returning yourself to my side,
since the fruit of our sin
has come to sing my love.

Story behind the Tango Canción del olvido

The tango “Canción del olvido” revolves around a deeply emotional narrative sung by a woman who is yearning for the return of a beloved man, reportedly the father of her child, who has been absent for many years. The lyrics offer a blend of sorrow, hope, and forgiveness, capturing the woman’s profound distress mixed with her anticipation of a possible reconciliation. The woman’s plea for the man to experience the joy of their child and her preparedness to forgive encapsulates a poignant appeal for the restoration of a lost familial harmony.


Symbolism of Canción del olvido

The phrase “En la copa fatal de mi angustia” symbolizes her immense sorrow and despair, while the reference to her being like a ‘wounded bird’ unable to flutter reflects her helplessness and inability to escape from her emotional pain. The tango uses the child as a symbolic anchor of hope and continuity, representing a bridge between the past actions and future possibilities of forgiveness and family unity. This pivotal use of familial bonds resonates deeply within the Argentine cultural backdrop where family is often depicted as a fundamental nucleus.


Canción del olvido in historic Context

“Canción del olvido” was created in 1931, a period marked by significant social and economic upheavals in Argentina after the Wall Street Crash of 1929. This backdrop might have influenced the thematic substance of the piece, reflecting themes of loss, longing, and eventual reconciliation against a crisis backdrop, mirroring the societal aspirations for recovery and resilience. The tango, a dance that itself undergoes dynamic and emotive portrayal, could be viewed as a vessel for articulating both personal and collective emotional journeys amid hardships.
