Letra del Vals Como en un cuento

Como en un cuento
de magia y encanto,
historia feliz de amor,
en que hay un hada
que a un triste le da
la gracia sin par
de la eterna ilusión.

Del encantado país
de mis sueños,
un hada hasta mí llegó
y con su mágica vara
en mi pecho prendió el amor…

En mi corazón abrió
una flor la primavera,
cálida flor de pasión,
que de tu encanto nació.
Y mi corazón se engalanó
con su belleza
y hay, desde entonces,
aromas de amor en mi corazón…

English lyrics of the Vals "Como en un cuento"

Like in a tale
of magic and charm,
a happy love story,
where there’s a fairy
who gives to the sad
the unrivaled grace
of eternal illusion.

From the enchanted country
of my dreams,
a fairy came to me
and with her magic wand
ignited love in my chest…

In my heart, the spring
opened a flower,
a warm flower of passion,
born from your enchantment.
And my heart adorned itself
with its beauty,
and since then,
there are aromas of love in my heart…

Story behind the Tango Como en un cuento

‘Como en un cuento’ (Like in a Tale) captures the essence of a fairy-tale-like romantic encounter enriched with magic and charm. The lyrics portray a narrative where a mythical figure (an enchanted being) gifts an individual the unparalleled grace of everlasting illusion, symbolizing the transformative power of love. This romantic theme resonates deeply, suggesting a transformation from sadness to joy through the magic of love.



Symbolism of Como en un cuento

The recurring use of fairy-tale imagery in ‘Como en un cuento’ conjures a world where anything is possible, and where love acts as a magical force that can change reality. The ‘hada’ or fairy, symbolizing a guide or a helper, brings forth love which blooms like a “warm passion flower”—a powerful metaphor for the awakening of deep, passionate love. Additionally, phrases like ‘aromas de amor en mi corazón’ (aromas of love in my heart) extend this enchantment, suggesting that love fills life with delightful scents and colors, transforming ordinary existence into something extraordinary.
