Letra del Tango Cuando tú me quieras

¡Flor de ilusión! Mujer hecha de fuego;
yo te soñé divina como eres,
y entre el amor febril de todas las mujeres,
tú eres mi Dios y en mi querer te alzo mi ruego;
sin ti la vida ya no tiene encanto…
Dame el Edén de tu cariño ardiente,
que cual te adoro nadie adora tanto,
¡rayito de oro, luz de mi pasión!

¡Nena!
Cuando tú me quieras, nena,
cesará la triste pena
que me llena de dolor…
¡Cielo!
Cuando tú me quieras, cielo,
yo te daré con anhelo
la grandeza de mi amor.

Un nido ideal de flores coronado
le brindaré gentil a tus amores;
y al dulce arrullo de tu fiel enamorado
tú vivirás feliz, sin penas ni dolores.
Y en el delirio de mi fiebre loca
yo quiero unir mi fe con tu hermosura
fundir después tu boca con mi boca.
¡Rayito de oro, luz de mi pasión!

English lyrics of the Tango "Cuando tú me quieras"

Illusion’s bloom! Woman made of fire;
I dreamt of you divine as you are,
and among the fervent love of all women,
you are my God, and in my love, I raise my prayer to you;
without you, life has no charm…
Give me the Eden of your fervent affection,
as no one adores you as much as I do,
golden ray, light of my passion!

Darling!
When you love me, darling,
the sad sorrow
that fills me with pain will cease…
Heaven!
When you love me, heaven,
I will give you eagerly
the greatness of my love.

An ideal nest crowned with flowers
I will kindly offer to your loves;
and to the sweet cooing of your faithful lover
you will live happily, with no sorrows or pains.
And in the delirium of my mad fever
I want to unite my faith with your beauty
and then meld your mouth with mine.
Golden ray, light of my passion!

Story behind the Tango Cuando tú me quieras

The lyrics of “Cuando tú me quieras” portray a profound longing and adoration, where the protagonist dreams of a moment when their beloved reciprocates their love. This touching Tango captures the essence of hopeful romantic devotion, encapsulating the pain of unrequited love and the fantasy of mutual affection. The line “flor de ilusión” (flower of illusion) suggests a relationship that is more dreamt of than real, underscored by intense emotional desire.



Symbolism of Cuando tú me quieras

Bohigas uses vivid imagery and symbols to deepen the emotional resonance of the lyrics. Phrases like “¡flor de ilusión! Mujer hecha de fuego” (Flower of illusion! Woman made of fire) blend natural and elemental symbols to depict passion and unattainability. The recurring mention of “luz de mi pasión” (light of my passion) symbolizes the beloved as a guiding beacon, illuminating the protagonist’s life, while the “rayito de oro” (little ray of gold) enhances this imagery with a touch of preciousness and value. These metaphors stress the purity and intensity of the narrator’s feelings.



Cuando tú me quieras in historic Context

Recorded in 1945, “Cuando tú me quieras” was released in a post-World War II context, a time when emotions in Argentina were high and music often served as an escape or emotional outlet. The yearning and passion in the lyrics might reflect a collective sentiment of loss and the desire for a return to better times – a common theme in the period’s artistic expressions. Historically, Tango has been a reflection of the societal emotions, and this piece fits within that tradition, offering both solace and a voice to personal and collective yearnings.
