Letra del Tango Copas amigas y besos

Ella puso su grata tibieza
en mis noches de triste bohemia.
Ella puso sus flores de anemia
en mis sueños de frío y pobreza.
Mas un día llegó la riqueza
y cambió nuestras vidas. . .
Por eso entre copas, amigos y besos
la perdí por mi mala cabeza.

Y hoy, la llevo en mi negro lunatismo
como un grotesco fantasma de mí mismo.
Hoy la llevo en mis ojos doloridos
como una gota de llanto contenido…
Y la llevo, ¡Señor!,
como un eco que me sigue,
como un sueño hecho cenizas,
como un cargo de conciencia,
como un dedo acusador.

Sin embargo, hoy, que tengo riquezas,
me persigue implacable el hastío,
y es que añoro esas noches de frío
y el amor de su grata tibieza.
Ella puso sus flores de anemia
en mis sueños de locas fortunas.
Ella fue mi rayito de luna
que alumbraba mis noches bohemias.

English lyrics of the Tango "Copas amigas y besos"

She brought her gentle warmth
to my nights of sorrowful wandering.
She placed her anemic flowers
in my dreams of cold and poverty.
Yet one day wealth arrived
and changed our lives…
Thus, among drinks, friends, and kisses,
I lost her, through my own wrongdoing.

And today, I carry her in my dark gloom
like a grotesque phantom of myself.
Today I hold her in my aching eyes
like a tear that remains unshed.
And I carry her, oh Lord!
Like an echo that follows me,
like a dream turned to ashes,
like a guilty conscience,
like an accusing finger.

Yet today, though I have riches,
I’m relentlessly pursued by fatigue,
and I yearn for those cold nights
and the warmth of her gentle love.
She placed her anemic flowers
in my dreams of wild fortunes.
She was my little moonbeam
that lit up my bohemian nights.

Story behind the Tango Copas amigas y besos

This tango tells a poignant story of love, regret, and introspection, following a narrative of lost romance as the protagonist reflects on how wealth has altered his life. Initially embraced by the warmth and affection during the cold nights of a bohemian lifestyle, the author laments the loss of his beloved to his reckless decisions. The tango captures a journey from poverty to affluence, and with it, the transformation of personal relationships. Despite the material gain, the protagonist is haunted by memories and a profound sense of loss.

Symbolism of Copas amigas y besos

The lyrics are imbued with rich symbolism, using “copas” (cups) and “besos” (kisses) to represent both celebration and intimate connections that have been compromised. The “grata tibieza” (pleasant warmth) symbolizes the comfort and affection that was lost with time and choices. “Flores de anemia” (flowers of anemia) and “gotas de llanto contenido” (drops of contained tears) poignantly depict the fragility and repressed sorrow of the narrator. Additionally, “un eco que me sigue” (an echo that follows me) signifies the lingering consequences and guilt that haunt him.

Copas amigas y besos in historic Context

Created in Buenos Aires in 1944, “Copas amigas y besos” emerges from an era when tango was a powerful cultural expression reflecting the complex social dynamics of Argentina. This was a time of significant urbanization, where individuals faced changing social statuses and personal dilemmas amidst a city that was both vibrant and challenging. The historical context of coming from a life of poverty to acquiring wealth can be seen as mirroring the socio-economic shifts occurring in Argentina, highlighting the personal costs of such transitions.

Mariano Mores was a renowned Argentine composer, pianist, and conductor known for his contributions to tango music, especially during the mid-20th century.
