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 or stars,
You alone hear my song,
My hands no longer seek
The hands of her,
And only sorrows exist in my heart.
Night, you envelop me with your shadow,
I feel you enter deeper into me,
My eyes half-close,
My lips name her,
And my pains are nights for you.

I could have been happy and I am,
Through my fault, yes…!
Like a mockery of time gone by,
Complaints that grow today
Wanting to revive
The hopes in my heart.
To sadden myself more
In my cruel bitterness,
I found in a faded envelope,
Your portrait with four words:
Love I won’t forget you!

Story behind the Tango Cuatro palabras

Set in a restless night devoid of stars, “Cuatro palabras” captures the essence of solitude and longing through its nostalgic lyrics. The protagonist speaks directly to the quiet night, sharing his grief about a lost love whose hands he no longer seeks. His heart harbors only sorrow, encapsulated by the enveloping embrace of the night’s shadow. This setting serves as both a confidant and a witness to his pain, which deepens as he murmurs her name, transforming his personal grief into the night’s own suffering.



Symbolism of Cuatro palabras

The title “Cuatro palabras” (Four Words), signifies much more than a simple phrase; it is a poignant reminder of a love that persists even after separation. Encountering a faded letter with a photograph and the inscription “Amor no te olvidaré” (Love, I will not forget you) adds layers of regret and remembrance. These words and the act of naming the beloved in silence underline the theme of memory’s power and the pain of unresolved love. The enveloping night symbolizes the overwhelming feelings that consume him, suggesting that his grief is as deep and encompassing as the darkness around him.
