De corazón a corazón is a Tango written by Reinaldo Yiso and composed by Enrique Alessio.
The Tango “De corazón a corazón” narrates a poignant reunion between lovers after a period of separation. The lyrics express a deep forgiveness and a yearning to rekindle a love that remains unextinguished despite past suffering. It unfolds as a dialogue of emotive revelations, emphasizing the joy and relief of being reunited without dwelling on the reasons for their separation. This emotional depth suggests a mature approach to love, focusing on the precious present rather than the anguished past.
This tango heavily utilizes the heart as a central symbol, representing both the emotional core and the profound connection between the individuals. Phrases like “corazón a corazón” (heart to heart) and “te doy mi corazón” (I give you my heart) not only underscore this motif but also enhance the emotional intensity of the reunion. The “heart” here is not just an organ but a vessel of love, forgiveness, and renewed bonds. The “besos” (kisses), particularly described as “ardientes” (burning) and falling on a “boca en flor” (flowering mouth), evoke images of passionate renewal and blooming romance, symbolizing a reawakening of feelings and desires.
Recorded in 1952, post-World War II Argentina was marked by political and social changes that influenced its cultural outputs. Tango during this era often captured sentiments of melancholy, nostalgia, and intimate human conditions, perhaps reflective of the broader societal yearnings for peace and stability. “De corazón a corazón,” created in this milieu, can be seen as an encapsulation of these themes—expressing through its tender lyrics a universal longing for reconciliation and emotional healing.
Reinaldo Yiso was a prolific Argentine lyricist known for his contributions to the Tango genre. His works are celebrated for their emotive depth and vivid storytelling.
