Letra del Tango Divina

Muñeca ven y cuéntame por qué
lloras sin cesar en un rincón.
Parece que a tu corazón
algún dolor quieres arrancarle.
Ya no sales al balcón
en las tardes cuando el sol
apagabas en su luz,
ni hablás a las flores
con el canto de tu voz.

Tus lágrimas son gotas de dolor que van
borrando la sonrisa de tu dulce paz.
Yo sé que fue el arrullo de una voz,
mas luego te mintió.
Ya ves… ingenua si comprendo tu dolor.
No dejes que la decepción
retarde los latidos de tu corazón.
Y vuelve, como antes, a reir,
olvida tu sufrir…
que ronda un nuevo amor en pos de ti.

Sin ilusión,
jamás podrás vivir.
Deja de llorar, por ese amor.
Divina estás en tu dolor,
otro querer quiere consolarte.
Tan dichosa como ayer
volverás a tu balcón.
Más divina, mucho más,
de nuevo la risa
en tu rostro brillará.

English lyrics of the Tango "Divina"

Doll, come and tell me why
you cry endlessly in a corner.
It seems that from your heart
some pain you wish to tear away.
You no longer go out to the balcony
in the evenings when the sun
you used to dim with its light,
nor do you speak to the flowers
with the song of your voice.

Your tears are drops of pain that go
erasing the smile of your sweet peace.
I know it was the cooing of a voice,
but then it lied to you.
You see… naive, I understand your pain.
Do not let the disappointment
slow down the beats of your heart.
And return, as before, to laugh,
forget your suffering…
as a new love is searching for you.

Without hope,
you can never live.
Stop crying, for that love.
Divine you are in your pain,
another love wants to comfort you.
As happy as yesterday
you will return to your balcony.
More divine, much more,
the laughter
will shine on your face again.

Story behind the Tango Divina

“Divina” as a tango paints a poignant picture of a woman grappling with heartache. The lyrics tell the story of a person consoling a woman named Muñeca, who was deeply hurt by a false love. The consoler observes her withdrawn behavior, her inability to engage with the world as she once did, and her visible sorrow. He urges her not to let this pain halt the rhythms of her life and encourages her to embrace new love that seeks her, promising her a recovery and return to joy. The lyrics are elegantly structured to convey this narrative of emotional healing and renewed hope.



Symbolism of Divina

The use of the word “Muñeca,” meaning “doll,” symbolizes the fragility and vulnerability of the person being addressed. Her tears described as “drops of pain” emphasize the depth of her emotional suffering. The symbolic closing of herself off from the world is depicted with the detail that she no longer comes to the balcony, a space typically associated with openness and interaction. This metaphorical imagery is meant to evoke a sense of confinement in her sadness, while the phrases encourage her to return to life and not to lose hope in the face of deceit.



Divina in historic Context

Divina was recorded in 1957, a period in Argentina marked by critical political and social transformations. It was a decade where the themes of personal and societal struggles were notably prevalent in art due to the complex social dynamics of the time. As tango often reflects the emotional state of its society, “Divina” could be seen as a reflection on the pains of deception and the enduring hope for redemption, both in personal and broader societal contexts. The counsel given to overcome deception and revive happiness may parallel the societal yearn for recovery and moral rejuvenation during a tumultuous era.
