Letra del Vals Cuatro palabras

Noche sin calma y sin estrellas
Tú tan sólo, escuchas mi canción,
Mis manos ya no buscan
Las manos de aquella,
Y sólo existen penas en mi corazón.
Noche, me envuelves con tu sombra
Siento que te adentras más en mí,
Mis ojos se entrecierran
Mis labios la nombran,
Y son mis penas, noches para ti.

Pude ser feliz y soy
Por culpa mía, sí…!
Como una burla del tiempo ido,
Quejas que se agrandan hoy
Queriendo revivir
Las esperanzas en mi corazón.
Para entristecerme más
En mi amargura cruel,
Hallé en un sobre ya desteñido,
Tu retrato con cuatro palabras:
¡Amor no te olvidaré!

English lyrics of the Vals "Cuatro palabras"

Night without calm and stars,
Only you, listen to my song,
My hands no longer search
For the hands of that one,
And only sorrows exist in my heart.
Night, you wrap me in your shadow,
I feel you penetrate deeper within me,
My eyes half-close,
My lips speak her name,
And my sorrows become nights for you.

I could be happy and I am
Because of my own fault, yes…!
Like a mockery of the past time,
Complaints that grow today
Wishing to revive
The hopes in my heart.
To make me sadder
In my cruel bitterness,
I found in a faded envelope,
Your portrait with four words:
Love, I will not forget you!

Story behind the Tango Cuatro palabras

The lyrics of “Cuatro palabras” depict a scene of poignant self-reflection and a deep sense of loss. The setting is a starless night, a symbol of the narrator’s sorrow and loneliness. The song connects the physical calm of the night with the turbulent emotions of the singer, who finds themselves engulfed in memories and unable to move forward. Through the imagery of the night enveloping the singer with its shadows, it becomes apparent that the darkness is both literal and metaphorical, representing the overshadowing of life by past love and current sorrow.



Symbolism of Cuatro palabras

The symbolism in “Cuatro palabras” is rich and heavily tied to elements of nature and personal introspection. The ‘noche’ or night, for example, represents more than just the backdrop of time; it symbolizes the darkness and obscurity in the singer’s heart following a romantic separation. The lack of stars signifies a loss of light or hope. The words found in an old, faded envelope—”Amor no te olvidaré” (Love, I will not forget you)—evoke the permanence of memory and the lingering sting of past affections, which are so powerful they can permeate even physical barriers like an envelope or the passage of time.



Cuatro palabras in historic Context

Created in 1941 in Argentina, “Cuatro palabras” emerges during a prolific era for tango, when the genre frequently served as a means of expressing personal and collective emotion. The early 1940s in Argentina were a time of significant social and political changes, with tango music providing a reflective surface for the emotional landscape of the country. The longing and personal heartache in the lyrics might subtly mirror the uncertainties or societal upheavals of the time. The emotive power of the tango serves not only as a personal lament but also resonates with a broader audience grappling with change and loss in their own lives.
