Letra del Tango Cascabelito

Entre la loca alegría
volvamos a darnos cita
misteriosa mascarita
de aquel loco Carnaval.
Donde estás Cascabelito,
mascarita pizpireta,
tan bonita y tan coqueta
con tu risa de cristal.

Cascabel, Cascabelito;
ríe, ríe y no llores
que tu risa juvenil
tenga perfumes de tus amores.
Cascabel, Cascabelito;
ríe, no tengas cuidado
que aunque no estoy a tu lado
te llevo en mi corazón.

Mascarita misteriosa,
por tener mi alma suspensa
me ofreciste en recompensa
tu boca como un clavel.
Y cuando nos despedimos
llenos de dulce embeleso,
el ruido de nuestro beso
lo apagó tu cascabel.

English lyrics of the Tango "Cascabelito"

Amidst insane joy,
let’s agree to meet again,
mysterious little mask,
from that crazy Carnival.
Where are you, little Sleigh Bell,
sprightly little mask,
so pretty and flirtatious
with your crystal laugh.

Sleigh Bell, little Sleigh Bell;
laugh, laugh and do not cry
for your youthful laughter
should carry the scent of your loves.
Sleigh Bell, little Sleigh Bell;
laugh, don’t be cautious
for even though I’m not by your side
I carry you in my heart.

Mysterious little mask,
for holding my soul in suspense
you offered me in return
your mouth like a carnation.
And when we said goodbye
filled with sweet rapture,
the noise of our kiss
was silenced by your sleigh bell.

Story behind the Tango Cascabelito

The lyrics of “Cascabelito” carry the listener back to the fervent and festive atmosphere of a Carnival, where anonymity empowers individuals to reconnect and express unrestrained joy. The song encapsulates a nostalgic and poignant reunion between the singer and a figure named ‘Cascabelito,’ a term affectionately used for someone wearing a jingling bell, often a feature in playful Carnival costumes. The essence of this reunion is deeply emotional, revolving around a rekindling of past love and cherished memories, making it a significant exploration of longing and remembrance in the setting of a vibrant celebration.


Symbolism of Cascabelito

The name ‘Cascabelito,’ translating variously as ‘little bell’ or a diminutive, affectionate form of a bell, symbolizes the light and joyous nature of this person, reflected in their laughter and the luminous spirit they bring to the encounter. The lyrics, “Cascabel, Cascabelito; ríe, ríe y no llores,” encourage Cascabelito to laugh instead of cry, underlining the tango’s theme of finding joy amidst the transient meetings of life. The ringing of the bell also signifies the fleeting moments of happiness that resonate in memory, while the recurring Carnival represents cycles of joy and nostalgia in human experience. The song uses the vibrant imagery of the Carnival and the sound of bells to underscore a narrative of transient yet impactful emotional connections.


Cascabelito in historic Context

Although this tango is attributed a creation year of 1985, it is essential to note that both the cultural and musical essence of the lyrics hark back to an earlier period in the history of Argentina, when Tango was a burgeoning cultural expression. Tangos often encapsulate the melodramatic and passionate characteristics synonymous with Argentine culture. The historical settings, the mention of carnival, a popular public celebration, and the intimate personal connection suggest a complex interplay of personal and cultural narratives, enabling listeners to synchronise personal emotions with collective cultural experiences.
