Letra del Vals Desencanto (2)

En una acariciante plegaria soñé

Que alegre me decías, temblando de amor,

Eternamente a tu lado estaré

Porque sólo tuya soy.



Fue grande el desencanto que luego sufrí

Y al despertar ansioso lloré con dolor,

Pues en tinieblas envuelto me vi

Solo, sin fe ni ilusión.



Igual que un rayo quiso prenderte

Y mi alma confiarte con ciega pasión,

Puedo con mi sueño de toda la vida

Pues tu carre y hasta mi adoración.



Que pronto olvidaste las dulces caricias

El fuego del alma que tanto te amó,

Pasa y mariposas no agites tus alas

Ni vueles muy lejos de mi corazón.

English lyrics of the Vals "Desencanto (2)"

In a caressing prayer, I dreamed

That you joyfully said, trembling with love,

I will be by your side forever

For I am yours alone.

Great was the disillusionment I then suffered

And upon waking anxiously, I cried in pain,

For I found myself wrapped in darkness

Alone, without faith or illusion.

Like a lightning bolt, I wanted to catch you

And entrust my soul to you with blind passion,

I can with my lifelong dream

For your path and even my adoration.

How quickly you forgot the sweet caresses

The fire of the soul that loved you so much,

Go and butterflies do not flap your wings

Nor fly too far from my heart.

Desencanto (2) by Mario Marinelli

Story behind the Tango Desencanto (2)

The tango “Desencanto (2)” tells a story of heartache and disillusionment experienced by the narrator, who initially dreams of eternal love and devotion, only to wake up to the harsh reality of loneliness and abandonment. The narrative captures an evolution from a moment of blissful dreaming to the shock of waking to disillusionment. The lyrics poetically express the pain of realizing that the promises made in the dream will not be fulfilled in reality.



Symbolism of Desencanto (2)

The song frequently uses imagery related to light and darkness to symbolize hope and despair. Key phrases such as “en tinieblas envuelto,” which translates to “wrapped in darkness,” convey the narrator’s feelings of hopelessness. The symbolism of waking from a dream to face a painful reality emphasizes the contrast between expectations and life’s harsh truths. The imagery of fluttering butterflies and restless movement in the lines “Pasa y mariposas no agites tus alas” represents the delicate and fleeting nature of love and happiness.
