Letra del Tango Capricho de amor

No existes para mí… te borró
mi corazón.
Recién hoy comprendí, que tu amor
no ha sido amor…
Que ciego estaba al pretender
tomar en serio tu querer,
que fue pasión fugaz.
Capricho, nada más… nada más
que engaño cruel.

Capricho fueron tus caricias,
tus besos, toda tu pasión.
Me diste un día mil delicias,
después la desesperación.
Y ahora vuelves a mi vida,
de nuevo me hablas de tu amor,
y mi alma triste y dolorida
con horror te dice: ¡no!…
no vuelvas nunca, nunca más…

Tal vez no sepas tú, de verdad,
lo que es querer.
Querer hasta morir, como yo
te quise a ti.
Te amé con toda intensidad
y sin embargo soy capaz
de rechazar tu amor.
Por eso con dolor, ya lo ves,
te digo adiós…

English lyrics of the Tango "Capricho de amor"

You no longer exist for me… erased
by my heart.
Today I understood, your love
was never truly love…
How blind I was to think
your affections were sincere,
just fleeting passion.
A whim, nothing more… nothing more
than cruel deceit.

Your caresses were a whim,
your kisses, all your passion.
You gave me a thousand delights one day,
then desperation thereafter.
And now you return to my life,
again you speak of your love,
and my sorrowful, pained soul
horrified, tells you: no!…
never come back, never again…

Perhaps you truly don’t know
what it means to love.
To love to the point of death, as I
loved you.
I loved you with all intensity
and yet I am capable
of rejecting your love.
That is why painfully, you see,
I say goodbye…

Story behind the Tango Capricho de amor

The narrative of “Capricho de amor” revolves around the theme of unrequited love and emotional disillusionment. The lyrics depict the speaker’s realization and rejection of a love that was never sincere, highlighting a journey from blind affection to painful awareness. This tango tells a story of love not as a romantic ideal but as a fleeting whim – a capricious and cruel deception.



Symbolism of Capricho de amor

The title “Capricho de amor” translates to “Whim of Love” in English, symbolizing love as impermanent and impulsive. The repeated use of “Capricho” underscores the transient, non-serious nature of the partner’s feelings. Phrases like “Capricho, nada más… nada más que engaño cruel,” which means “It was just a whim… nothing more than cruel deceit,” express the core message of fleeting passion misconstrued as true affection. Additionally, the contrast between “mil delicias” (a thousand delights) and “desesperación” (desperation) captures the highs and lows of a deceptive relationship, symbolizing the emotional rollercoaster experienced by the protagonist.



Capricho de amor in historic Context

“Capricho de amor” released in 1952 offers insights into the post-World War II era in Argentina, a period marked by social and political transformation. In this context, the tango may reflect widespread feelings of uncertainty and disillusionment. Tango often mirrored the societal sentiment, and in this piece, the fleeting and unreliable nature of “love” could parallel the unstable socio-political landscape of Argentina at that time, where people grappled with rapid changes and the quest for stability and truth in their personal lives and broader societal interactions.
