Letra del Vals Como las margaritas

Le pregunté a la flor si tú me quieres mucho

y contestó la flor que sí, otras que no.

Y en esa incertidumbre de ver que no me quieres,

mi corazón se muere de pena y de dolor.

Cuando me dices sí renace mi esperanza

y vuelvo a preguntar, celoso de tu amor.

Entonces como un eco de tus mismas palabras,

dice la margarita que no me quieres, no.

Dice la flor, dice que sí, dice que no.

Igual que tú, me dice sí, me dice no.

Cuando tu me besas yo me digo con razón,

mintió la flor.

Si después de un beso no me quieres, pienso yo,

mintió el amor.

Dice que sí, que sí, que sí, que sí, que no.

¿Por qué razón me dice sí, me dice no?

No me digas nunca que jamás

tu me darás el corazón,

porque si no, me matarás.

English lyrics of the Vals "Como las margaritas"

I asked the flower if you truly love me,

It answered yes, some said no.

And in that uncertainty of seeing you don’t love me,

My heart dies of sorrow and pain.

When you tell me yes, my hope is reborn,

And I again ask, jealous of your love.

Then like an echo of your own words,

The daisy says you do not love me, no.

The flower says, it says yes, it says no.

Just like you, it tells me yes, it tells me no.

When you kiss me I rightly think,

the flower lied.

If after a kiss you don’t love me, I think,

love lied.

It says yes, yes, yes, yes, no.

Why does it tell me yes, it tells me no?

Never tell me that you will never

give me your heart,

for if not, you will kill me.

Como las margaritas by José Rótulo

Como las margaritas is a Tango written by José Rótulo and composed by Héctor Gentile.

Story behind the Tango Como las margaritas

“Como las margaritas” (Like the daisies) tells a poignant story of love and uncertainty. The lyrics depict a dialogue with a flower, specifically a daisy, which traditionally symbolizes innocence and purity. The narrator repeatedly questions the daisy about the sincerity of their beloved’s feelings. This uncertainty and fluctuation of emotions, indicated by the flower’s changing answers, mirrors the complexities and perplexities of human relationships. The narrative explores themes of doubt, hope, and emotional turmoil, reflecting on the pain inflicted by the indecisiveness of love.

Symbolism of Como las margaritas

The song is ripe with symbolism, centering around the daisy. In Western cultures, the daisy flower has often been used in the “he loves me, he loves me not” petal-picking game, symbolizing the unpredictability and whims of love. The mention of the daisy’s answer oscillating between “yes” and “no” reveals the capricious nature of feelings and emphasizes the emotional vulnerability of those in love. Phrases like “when you kiss me, I think rightly” and “then love lied” highlight how physical expressions and confirmations of love can be deceiving, contrasted against the simple purity and, paradoxically, the neutrality of a daisy’s natural existence.
