Letra del Tango Como se muere de amor

En una casita blanca
con ventanal al jardín,
se oye muy suave, a lo lejos,
la armonía de un violín.
Es una casita blanca,
una mesita, una flor,
varias sillas distraídas
que contemplan aburridas
a un enfermito de amor.

Eternamente,
una sonrisa,
por su boca se desliza
impregnada de dolor.
Y en su mirada
serena y pura,
hay un libro de amargura
y una novela de amor.

Luego, misteriosamente,
llega hasta allí una mujer
y con un beso en la frente
vuelca todo su querer…
Todos han enmudecido
y contemplan con dolor
en el frío rostro de ella
donde está impresa la huella
del que se muere de amor…

Y los violines
en un suspiro
van diciendo: ‘Yo me inspiro
en un poema de ilusión’,
muy quedamente
cual si temiesen
que sus trinos ofendiesen
el ritmo de una oración.

English lyrics of the Tango "Como se muere de amor"

In a small white house
with a window facing the garden,
softly heard from afar,
is the harmony of a violin.
It’s a little white house,
a small table, a flower,
several distracted chairs
that watch, bored,
a love-sick patient.

Eternally,
a smile
slides over his mouth
steeped in pain.
And in his gaze,
serene and pure,
there’s a book of bitterness
and a romance novel.

Then, mysteriously,
a woman arrives there
and with a kiss on the forehead
pours out all her love…
Everyone has fallen silent
and watches in pain
on her cold face
where the mark is printed
of one dying of love…

And the violins
in a sigh
are saying, ‘I am inspired
by a poem of illusion’,
very softly,
as if they fear
that their trills would offend
the rhythm of a prayer.

Story behind the Tango Como se muere de amor

The lyrics of “Como se muere de amor” narrate a poignant tale set in a small white house with a garden-facing window, evoking a sense of isolation and tranquility. The song tells the story of an individual, referred to as “a sick man of love,” whose life is permeated by both the physical presence of illness and the emotional weight of unfulfilled love. The arrival of a woman who offers a kiss and her affection suggests a narrative of unrequited love and devotion, with the surroundings – the garden, the house, and the violin – serving as silent witnesses to the unfolding human drama.



Symbolism of Como se muere de amor

In “Como se muere de amor,” the house, the violin, and the act of a woman’s tender kiss are heavily symbolic. The small white house represents simplicity and purity but also seclusion and perhaps loneliness. The violin, with its distant melodies, symbolizes the overarching presence of love and emotion, which though beautiful, carries melancholic undertones. The woman’s kiss on the forehead is a symbol of compassion and perhaps pity, contrasting with the passionate love that one might expect in a tango, thereby enhancing the theme of unrequited and suffering love.
