Letra del Tango De los dos

Todo fue de los dos, el mar y el cielo,
la arena de la playa, de los dos.
Y la estrella más bella entre tu pelo
y el tibio valsecito, de los dos.

Todo fue de los dos, la noche aquella,
el sueño que tu sueños le confié,
y la luna de azúcar y el charquito
y el tibio valsecito de los dos.

Pero luego la luz del frío
con su hastío total nos cubrió,
las palabras trajeron palabras
y otro amor se llevó nuestro amor.

Hoy que lejano parece el romance
y que triste que está el corazón,
que pequeña palabra es tristeza,
ya ves, y nos deja, sangrando a los dos.

English lyrics of the Tango "De los dos"

Both the sea and the sky belonged to us,
the beach sand was ours, just for us.
And the most beautiful star amidst your hair
and the warm little waltz, belonged to us.

Everything was ours, on that night,
the dream which I entrusted to your dreams,
and the sugar moon and the small puddle,
and the warm little waltz, just for us.

But then the light of the cold
with its total weariness covered us,
words brought more words
and another love took away our love.

Now, how distant the romance seems,
and how sad the heart is,
how small the word “sadness” is,
you see, and it leaves us, both bleeding.

De los dos by Federico Silva

Story behind the Tango De los dos

“De los dos” translates to “Of the both of us” in English, encapsulating the essence of shared experiences and emotions. The lyrics poignantly depict a narrative of mutual love and the intimate moments shared between two people. Everything, from the sea and the sky to the warm little waltz, is described as belonging to both, symbolizing deep unity and shared ownership over the fleeting moments of their relationship. This intimate sharing reaches its zenith when even the dreams and aspirations are confessed and shared in the refuge of each other’s company.


Symbolism of De los dos

Federico Silva uses evocative imagery to enhance emotional resonance in the lyrics. The “sea and the sky” symbolize vastness and eternity, perhaps mirroring the boundless and enduring nature of their emotions. The “warm little waltz” represents the dance of their relationship, intimate and rhythmic. Contrastingly, the mention of “light of cold” bringing “total boredom” symbolizes the chilling end of their warmth and passion, highlighting the inevitable decay of relationships. The words “sad” and “bleeding” at the end poignantly emphasize the pain and hollow feeling left by the departed love.


De los dos in historic Context

Written and recorded in 1959, “De los dos” was created during a period of significant cultural and social transformation in Argentina. The country was experiencing considerable political upheaval, which often influences the themes of longing, nostalgia, and personal turmoil prevalent in Tango music. This era saw the Tango as not just dance music but as a profound expression of Argentine identity and existential reflections. The melancholy in the lyrics can be seen as reflective of the collective uncertainties of the times.
