Letra del Tango Comme il faut

Luna, farol y canción,
dulce emoción del ayer
fue en París,
donde viví tu amor.
Tango, Champagne, corazón,
noche de amor
que no está,
en mi sueño vivirá…

Es como debe ser, con ilusión viví
las alegrías y las tristezas;
en esa noche fue que yo sentí por vos
una esperanza en mi corazón.
Es como debe ser en la pasión de ley,
tus ojos negros y tu belleza.
Siempre serás mi amor en bello amanecer
para mi vida, dulce ilusión.

En este tango
te cuento mi tristeza,
dolor y llanto
que dejo en esta pieza.
Quiero que oigas mi canción
hecha de luna y de farol
y que tu amor, mujer,
vuelva hacia mí.

English lyrics of the Tango "Comme il faut"

Moon, lantern, and song,
sweet emotion of yesterday,
it was in Paris,
where I lived your love.
Tango, Champagne, heart,
night of love
that is no more,
in my dreams it will live…

It’s how it should be, with hope I lived
the joys and the sorrows;
that night, I felt for you
a hope in my heart.
It’s how it should be, in passionate law,
your black eyes and your beauty.
You will always be my love at beautiful dawn,
a sweet illusion for my life.

In this tango,
I share my sadness,
pain and weeping
left in this piece.
I want you to hear my song
made of moon and lantern
and for your love, woman,
to return to me.

Story behind the Tango Comme il faut

The lyrics of “Comme il faut” weave a poignant narrative of nostalgia and longing, set against a backdrop reminiscent of Paris. It reflects on an intimate love affair characterized by elements such as the moon, streetlights, and song. The tango delves deep into memories where love was experienced alongside the city’s charm, tacitly evoking a bittersweet blend of joy and melancholy intertwined with a personal and emotional history. This tale highlights the persistent memory of a love that continues to exist in dreams, although it has faded in reality.

Symbolism of Comme il faut

“Comme il faut” translates from French as “As it should be”, which is a recurring phrase in the lyrics symbolizing acceptance and resignation to the fates of past decisions and experiences. The use of night elements like the moon and streetlights symbolizes illumination in darkness, perhaps a metaphor for finding light in the sorrowful depths of lost love. The references to “tango” and “Champagne” not only place the story within a certain milieu of celebration but also contrast deeply with the underlying sadness, suggesting a duality in joyful moments.

Comme il faut in historic Context

Recorded in 1936 in Argentina, “Comme il faut” was created during a period rich in the evolution of Tango music, where it acted as both a dance and a music of the people, reflecting the societal sentiments of the time. The inclusion of European elements such as Paris, Champagne, and the phrase “Comme il faut” positioned this tango in a transcultural context, appealing to both local and international sentiments of romance, nostalgia, and the universality of emotional experiences.
