Letra del Pasodoble Dónde estará mi vida

Una vez un ruiseñor
Con las claras de la aurora,
Quedó preso de una flor
Lejos de su ruiseñora.

Esperando su vuelta en el nido
Ella vio que la tarde moría,
Y de noche cantándole al río
Medio loca de amor, le decía:

¡Dónde estará, mi vida!
¿Por qué no viene?
Qué rosita encendida
Me lo entretiene.
Agua clara que caminas
Entre juncos y mimbrales,
Dile que tienen espinas
Las rosas de los rosales.
Dile que no hay colores
Que yo no tenga,
Que me muero de amores
Dile que venga…

English lyrics of the Pasodoble "Dónde estará mi vida"

Once a nightingale
At the break of dawn,
Became trapped by a flower
Far from his beloved.

Waiting for his return in the nest
She saw the evening fade,
And at night, singing to the river
Half mad with love, she said:

Where could he be, my life!
Why hasn’t he returned?
What bright rose
Keeps him entertained?
Clear water flowing
Among reeds and willow trees,
Tell him that roses
In rose bushes have thorns.
Tell him there are no colors
That I do not possess,
That I am dying of love
Tell him to come…

Dónde estará mi vida by Francisco Caldera, Ignacio Román Jiménez 

Dónde estará mi vida is a Tango written by Francisco Caldera, Ignacio Román Jiménez and composed by Antonio López Quiroga Segovia.



Story behind the Tango Dónde estará mi vida

The song “Dónde estará mi vida” translates to “Where will my life be?” and poetically encapsulates a deep longing and search for a loved one. Emotionally charged, it tells the story of a nightingale captured by the allure of a flower, separated from its mate. The female nightingale longs for his return, her song filled with a blend of hope and despair. This narrative explores themes of love, separation, and unyielding desire for reunion.



Symbolism of Dónde estará mi vida

The nightingale and the flower in the lyrics symbolize lovers and the often-painful beauty of love. The nightingale, a common symbol for poets and singers, represents an artist trapped by the beauty—with the flower symbolizing both love’s allure and its entrapments. “Agua clara” (clear water) and its journey through reeds reflect the flowing, changing nature of life and emotions, while “las rosas de los rosales” (the roses of the rosebushes) with their thorns represent the pain often accompanying beauty and desire. The repeated query “Dónde estará, mi vida?” carries a dual significance – a literal concern for the beloved and a metaphorical pondering on one’s life purpose or journey amidst emotional turmoil.



Dónde estará mi vida in historic Context

Written in 1958, during a vibrant yet tumultuously political era in Argentina, “Dónde estará mi vida” reflects a personal and societal sense of loss and longing. Post-World War II Argentina faced significant socio-political changes, with fluctuating fortunes in its political leadership and social fabric. This period also saw a resurgence in cultural expressions, where music like Tango played a crucial role in voicing the public sentiment. The themes of longing and separation could also mirror the larger displacement felt by Argentinians during this era of uncertainty.
