Letra del Vals Corazón de oro

Con su amor mi madre me enseñó

a reír y soñar,

y con besos me alentó

a sufrir sin llorar…

En mi pecho nunca tengo hiel,

en el alma canta la lusión,

y es mi vida alegre cascabel.

¡Con oro se forjó mi corazón!…

Siempre he sido noble en el amor,

el placer, la amistad;

mi cariño no causó dolor,

mi querer fue verdad…

Cuando siento el filo de un puñal

que me clava a veces la traición,

no enmudece el pájaro ideal,

¡porque yo tengo de oro el corazón!…



Entre amor

florecí

y el dolor

huyó de mí.

Sé curar

mi aflicción

sin llorar,

¡tengo de oro el corazón!…



¡Los ruiseñores de mi alegría

van por mi vida cantando a coro

y en las campanas del alma mía

resuena el oro del corazón!…



Yo pagué la negra ingratitud

con gentil compasión,

y jamás dejó mi juventud

de entonar su canción…

Al sentir el alma enardecer

y apurar con ansia mi pasión,

no me da dolores el placer,

¡pues tengo de oro puro el corazón!…

Entre risas pasa mi vivir,

siempre amé, no sé odiar,

y convierto en trinos mi sufrir

porque sé perdonar…

Mi existencia quiero embellecer,

pues al ver que muere una ilusión,

otras bellas siento renacer,

¡mi madre me hizo de oro el corazón!…

English lyrics of the Vals "Corazón de oro"

With her love, my mother taught me
to laugh and to dream,
and with kisses, she encouraged me
to suffer without tears…
In my breast, I hold no gall,
in the soul sings the light of hope,
and my life is a merry jingle bell.
My heart was forged in gold!…

I’ve always been noble in love,
in pleasure, in friendship;
my affection never caused pain,
my love was true…
When I feel the blade of a dagger
that sometimes betrayal plunges,
the ideal bird does not grow silent,
for my heart is made of gold!…

Among love
I blossomed
and from pain
I fled.
I know how to heal
my affliction
without crying,
for my heart is made of gold!…

The nightingales of my joy
sing in chorus through my life
and in the bells of my soul
resounds the gold of the heart!…

I repaid black ingratitude
with gentle compassion,
and my youth never ceased
to sing its song…
Feeling the soul ignite
and eagerly embracing my passion,
pleasure brings me no pain,
for my heart is made of pure gold!…

Amongst laughter, my life passes,
I always loved, I know not how to hate,
and I turn my suffering into trills
because I know how to forgive…
I want to beautify my existence,
for when I see a dream die,
I feel others beautifully reborn,
my mother made my heart of gold!…

Corazón de oro in historic Context

Recorded in 1955 in Argentina by Francisco Canaro, “Corazón de oro” reflects the mid-20th-century Argentine cultural emphasis on emotional expression through music and dance like the tango.
