Letra del Tango Desvelo (De flor en flor)

Aunque vos pretendas
que me aparte de tu senda;
aunque me dejes solo,
yo siempre te he de amar;
aunque por mis celos
viva lleno de desvelos
pensando que muy pronto
de mí te alejarás,
igual… igual te adoro,
te lloro y te imploro
con loco afán.
En la tristeza inmensa
de mi desolación,
los duendes de mi mal
me van mordiendo el corazón.

Mientras tu inconstancia me acorrala
y en mí se clava
como un puñal,
en las horas tristes de mi insomnio
mis pobres ojos
no puedo cerrar.
De los espejos turbios
de mi melancolía,
todos nuestros amores
surgen de aquellos días…
Ronda flotando por el cuarto tu figura,
y luego, riendo, te detienes junto a mí
para besarme con tu boca misteriosa,
tu boca deliciosa,
tu beso de carmín.
Hasta que me sorprende al fin la madrugada
loco de cansancio y sin dormir.

Solo… solo y triste
porque sé que tú no existes…
La noche se hace larga
pensando siempre en ti.
Y de ansiarte tanto
sin querer, me asalta el llanto;
un llanto silencioso
que brota sin cesar…
Un llanto que mis ojos,
sin sueño y rojos,
no aguantan más.
Y en este drama mío
yo me hundo sin piedad.
Párate, corazón,
no abrumes más mi soledad.

English lyrics of the Tango "Desvelo (De flor en flor)"

Even if you wish
for me to leave your path;
even if you leave me alone,
I will always love you;
even if my jealousy
fills me with restlessness,
thinking that soon
you will drift away from me,
still… still, I adore you,
I cry for you and implore you
with crazy zeal.
In the immensity of sadness
of my desolation,
the ghosts of my affliction
slowly gnaw at my heart.

While your fickleness corners me
and pierces me
like a dagger,
in the sad hours of my sleeplessness
my poor eyes
I cannot close.
From the murky mirrors
of my melancholy,
all our past loves
arise from those days…
Your figure floats around the room,
and then, laughing, you stop beside me
to kiss me with your mysterious lips,
your delicious lips,
your crimson kiss.
Until dawn finally catches me
mad with fatigue and sleepless.

Alone… alone and sad
because I know you do not exist…
The night grows long
always thinking of you.
And from wanting you so much
unwillingly, tears assault me;
a silent cry
that springs incessant…
A cry my sleepless, red eyes
can’t handle anymore.
And in this drama of mine
I drown without mercy.
Stop, heart,
do not overwhelm my solitude anymore.

Story behind the Tango Desvelo (De flor en flor)

The lyrics of “Desvelo (De flor en flor)” resonate with profound emotional turmoil and a deep sense of longing. Enrique Cadícamo uses the metaphor of a sleepless night, wandering from flower to flower, to depict a man’s relentless and painful yearning for a love that may be unattainable or unrequited. This tango captures the essence of melancholy and despair, often echoed in the genre, where love leads not to joy but to suffering and sleepless nights.



Symbolism of Desvelo (De flor en flor)

Powerful symbols and phrases throughout the lyrics deepen the emotional landscape. “Aunque me dejes solo, yo siempre te he de amar” (Even if you leave me alone, I will always love you) highlights unyielding devotion despite abandonment. The recurring imagery of sleeplessness and “los duendes de mi mal” (the goblins of my evil) gnawing at his heart evokes the inner demons and torment faced by the lovesick persona. Cadícamo’s use of ‘melancholy mirrors’ and ‘your mysterious mouth’ enhances the mystical, almost otherworldly feeling of longing and heartache that can neither be escaped nor fully embraced.



Desvelo (De flor en flor) in Historic Context

The song was recorded in 1953, a period that marked the decline of the golden age of tango, amidst significant political and social changes in Argentina.
