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 emotions of yesterday
occurred in Paris,
where I lived your love.
Tango, Champagne, heart,
a night of love
that is no more,
will live on in my dreams…

It is as it should be, with hope I lived
the joys and the sadness;
that night I felt for you
a hope in my heart.
It is as it should be in the passion of the rule,
your black eyes and your beauty.
You will always be my love at beautiful dawn
for my life, sweet illusion.

In this tango
I share my sadness,
pain and crying
that I leave in this piece.
I want you to hear my song
made of moonlight and lanterns
and that your love, woman,
returns to me.

Story behind the Tango Comme il faut

The title “Comme il faut”, when translated into English, means “As it should be” or “Properly”. This poignant tango marries nostalgia with a profound sense of personal reflection, capturing an essence of romanticism and longing. Set against a backdrop of Paris, the lyrics vividly recount an old romance that, although lost to time, continues to live in dreams and memories. Through “Luna, farol y canción,” which translates to “Moon, lantern, and song,” the lyrics evoke an atmospheric scene that sets the stage for a deep emotional journey.



Symbolism of Comme il faut

The moon, lanterns, and Paris serve as powerful symbols of illumination, not only in a literal sense but also metaphorically shedding light on past love and enduring hope. Clausi’s reference to “Tango, Champagne, corazón,” or “Tango, Champagne, heart,” integrates traditional symbols of celebration and affection, contrasting the internal heartache experienced by the narrator. Phrases like “Es como debe ser, con ilusión viví” imply a resignation to life’s predetermined courses, suggesting that living both the joys and sorrows is how it should be—a quintessential aspect of human experience.



Comme il faut in historic Context

While the tango was recorded in 1980, its roots and the mood reflect a broader historical tapestry of Argentine Tango tradition, intertwined with European influences, notably Parisian culture. During this period, the echoes of traditional tango mixed with contemporary influences exhibit a transformation in the genre, reflecting psychological and cultural shifts post-1960s social changes. The evocation of Paris in the lyrics might suggest not only a specific geographical affection but also an idealized locus of romanticism and art, key components in the nostalgic remembrance of a love that once was.



Gabriel Clausi

Gabriel Clausi, known for his rich contributions to tango, adds depth to the traditional Argentine music scene with his compositions that resonate deeply for their emotional clarity and cultural authenticity.
