Letra del Tango Cero al as

Agitando el cubilete con los dados del cariño,
comenzó la generala pasional de nuestro amor.
Yo seguí tu amante juego con la ciega fe de un niño
porque vi que interpretabas el concepto del honor.
Te confié en la gran partida el papel de anotaciones,
convencido que, amorosa, lo sabrías respetar;
y al hacerte la escalera, mi escalera de ilusiones
a la altura de tu alma yo soñé poder llegar.

¡Cariñito!…
Cariñito de mi vida,
me embrujaste en la partida
con el “full” de tu pasión.
¡Cariñito!…
Me embriagaste de embelesos
y en el póker de tus besos
se enredó mi corazón.

Continuando el desarrollo de la clásica partida
comprobé tu noble juego y orgulloso me sentí;
y ante el cielo de tus ojos, que a vivir hoy me convida
con un beso, en mi locura, la partida interrumpí.
Para gloria de mi gloria, de tu amor haciendo gala,
me brindaste el paraíso de adorarte más y más;
y tirando en favor mío le serviste generala
a mi alma, que en la vida, ¡se encontraba cero al as!

English lyrics of the Tango "Cero al as"

Shaking the cup with the dice of affection,
our love’s passionate game of dice began.
I followed your loving play with a child’s blind trust
because I saw you understood the concept of honor.
I entrusted you with the score sheet in the great match,
convinced that lovingly, you would know how to respect it;
and when you made the stairway, my stairway of dreams
to the height of your soul, I dreamed I could reach.

My darling!…
My darling of my life,
you enchanted me in the game
with the “full house” of your passion.
My darling!…
You intoxicated me with rapture
and in the poker of your kisses
my heart was ensnared.

Continuing the development in that classic game
I proved your noble play and felt proud;
and before the heavens of your eyes, which invite me to live today
with a kiss, in my madness, I interrupted the game.
For the glory of my glory, showcasing your love,
you offered me the paradise of adoring you more and more;
and rolling in my favor, you handed a complete set
to my soul, which in life, was found zero to ace!

Story behind the Tango Cero al as

“Cero al as” weaves a narrative of love, chance, and illusion, using the metaphor of a dice game to explore the unpredictable and sometimes treacherous nature of romantic relationships. The protagonist embarks on an emotional journey, captivated by the charms and perceived honesty of their lover. The stakes are high in this “generala pasional” or passionate dice game of love, where the protagonist willingly trusts their partner, hoping their dedication and dreams will surmount the challenges posed by their lover’s mysterious nature.

Symbolism of Cero al as

The lyrics are laden with symbolism, notably the use of dice and card game metaphors to describe love. Key phrases like “cubilete con los dados del cariño” (dice shaker of affection) and “escalera de ilusiones” (ladder of illusions) evoke the sense of risk and uncertainty inherent in love. The “full de tu pasión” (full house of your passion) and the “póker de tus besos” (poker of your kisses) illustrate the intoxicating and entangling nature of the beloved’s affections. These game references suggest that love is a gamble, fraught with opportunity and peril, where the highs of passion are contrasted by the potential for deep disappointment.

Cero al as in historic Context

Created in Buenos Aires in 1944, “Cero al as” emerges from an era when tango was a dominant cultural expression in Argentina. Post-war society was steeped in longing and nostalgia, which tango encapsulated in its melancholy melodies and poignant lyrics. The lyrics reflect a sense of existential angst and romantic idealism characteristic of the period. The game metaphors can also be seen as a reflection of the uncertain social landscape, where personal and societal fortunes seemed to rest on chance.

The composer, Arturo Gallucci, remains a relatively obscure figure in the vast landscape of tango history, contributing to the genre’s rich tapestry with works that capture the emotional depth and cultural nuances of early 20th-century Argentina.
