Letra del Tango Color cielo

Ojos que ya nunca brillarán
Con el tibio sol de su fulgor,
Ojos color cielo que me dieron
El profundo fuego de su amor.
Qué triste suerte que tuvieron tus pupilas
Al apagarse tan cruelmente, amada mía,
Color de cielo en tu mirar, como el cielo azul
Que en mi soledad vivirán.

Mi pobre corazón
Te buscará sin cesar, amor,
Recordará nuestro ayer feliz
Que ya no volverá.
Color cielo en el mirar que adoré
Que el mismo cielo me quitó sin piedad,
Qué cruel verdad fue para mí
Perder así, tu gran amor.

Siempre buscará mi soledad
Ese cielo azul que yo soñé,
De tus grandes ojos color cielo
Como un beso tuyo a mi dolor.
Si yo pudiera destrozar, amada mía
La eterna noche que te cubre las pupilas,
Un nuevo cielo volverá, en tu fiel mirar
Pero nunca ya vivirás.

English lyrics of the Tango "Color cielo"

Eyes that will never shine again
With the warm sun of their glow,
Sky-colored eyes that gave me
The deep fire of their love.
What sad fate befell your pupils
As they were cruelly extinguished, my beloved,
Sky color in your gaze, like the blue sky
That will live on in my loneliness.

My poor heart
Will search for you ceaselessly, my love,
Recalling our happy yesterdays
That will never return.
Sky color in the gaze I adored
That the same sky mercilessly took from me,
How cruel the truth was to me
To lose your great love this way.

My loneliness will always seek
That blue sky I dreamed of,
From your big sky-colored eyes
Like a kiss of yours to my pain.
If I could destroy, my beloved
The eternal night covering your pupils,
A new sky will return, in your faithful gaze
But you will never live again.

Story behind the Tango Color cielo

Antonio Bonavena’s “Color cielo” is a melancholic tango that immortalizes the profound grief of losing a beloved. The lyrics poignantly describe the speaker’s longing and memories of a loved one, whose eyes, depicted as ‘color cielo’ or ‘sky-colored,’ once shone with the warmth of shared love. The repeated references to the loved one’s eyes suggest a window to their soul and essence, now painfully missed. The narrative is infused with a sense of irrevocable loss, as expressed through the haunting imagery of eyes that will no longer shine.



Symbolism of Color cielo

The phrase “Color cielo,” translating literally to “sky color,” symbolizes a celestial, almost divine love that was once present but is now lost, elevating the loved one’s attributes to ethereal heights. The eyes ‘color cielo’ serves as a poignant motif throughout the tango, symbolizing the purity and depth of the emotional connection that once was. The use of celestial imagery also enhances the theme of an ideal, untouchable, and lost love, increasing the dramatic effect of the yearning experienced by the narrator.



Color cielo in historic Context

Composed in Argentina in 1944, “Color cielo” was created in a socially and politically tumultuous period, during World War II and the infamously complex political landscape of Argentina. During this time, themes of loss, nostalgia, and personal anguish were common in artistic expressions, reflecting a collective sentiment of instability and change. The tango’s use of powerful, emotional narratives could serve both as a reflection of personal grief and a metaphor for broader societal experiences.
