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 little white house
with windows overlooking the garden,
the distant, gentle sound
of a violin’s harmony can be heard.
It’s a little white house,
a small table, a flower,
several idle chairs
boredly watching
a love-sick patient.

Eternally,
a smile
slides across his lips
imbued with pain.
And in his look
calm and pure,
there lies 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…
All have silenced
and watch with pain
her cold face
bearing the mark
of one dying of love…

And the violins
in a whisper
say: ‘I am inspired
by a poem of illusion’,
very quietly
as if they feared
that their trills might offend
the rhythm of a prayer.

Story behind the Tango Como se muere de amor

The tango “Como se muere de amor” tells a poignant tale set in a serene white house with a view of the garden. The narrative centers on a deeply lovesick individual, whose silent suffering is overshadowed by the soft sounds of a violin in the distance. The atmosphere is one of poignant melancholy, where seemingly mundane details—like a small table and a flower—contribute to the story of someone quietly enduring the pains of unrequited or lost love. The arrival of a woman who offers a gentle kiss and all her love brings a pivotal change, symbolizing both hope and deep sorrow.



Symbolism of Como se muere de amor

In “Como se muere de amor,” symbolism is richly layered, enhancing the emotional depth of the lyrics. The “white house” could symbolize purity or a fresh start, while the “garden-view” might hint at growth or life continuing around the sufferer. The violin’s harmony represents the lingering presence of beauty and art, even in moments of deep personal grief. Significantly, the silent chairs depict isolation, and the woman’s kiss symbolizes both a moment of connection and a farewell, imbuing the scene with both love and a poignant inevitability.
