Letra del Vals Dos corazones

Cual dos gotas de claro rocío
que en la noche se besan calladas,
Cual dos ondas que van impulsadas
a fundirse en la orilla del río.
Como el fuego que envuelve el estío,
como nube que abraza otra nube,
así son tu cariño y el mío
que se funden en un solo ideal.

Con tu corazón en mi corazón
el lucero azul brillará mejor.
Con tu corazón en mi corazón
todo en el jardín hablará de amor.
Notas cristalinas llenarán tu oído
y una luz divina nos envolverá.
Fijaré mis ojos, en tus negros ojos,
uniré mis labios, a tus labios rojos.
Y mi inspiración volará al seguir,
con tu corazón, en mi corazón.

Cual sonoras campanas que funden
sus repiques en una armonía.
Como rayos de sol que confunden
su fulgor con la gloria del día.
Como un son que se liga a otros sones,
como sombra que besa otra sombra,
así son nuestros dos corazones
que se funden en un solo ideal.

English lyrics of the Vals "Dos corazones"

Like two drops of clear dew
that kiss in silence at night,
Like two waves driven
to merge on the river’s bank.
Like the fire that wraps up the summer,
like a cloud that embraces another cloud,
this is how your love and mine
merge into a single ideal.

With your heart in my heart
the blue star will shine brighter.
With your heart in my heart
everything in the garden will speak of love.
Crystal clear notes will fill your ear
and a divine light will envelop us.
I will fix my eyes on your dark eyes,
I will press my lips to your red lips.
And my inspiration will soar as I follow,
with your heart, in my heart.

Like resonant bells that blend
their peals into one harmony.
Like rays of sun that meld
their brilliance with the glory of the day.
Like a melody linked with other tunes,
like a shadow that kisses another shadow,
such are our two hearts
that merge into a single ideal.

Story behind the Tango Dos corazones

“Dos corazones” (Two Hearts) provides a rich narrative, metaphorically depicting two hearts uniting in perfect harmony. The lyrics poetically outline scenes of nature where elements merge seamlessly – like dewdrops or waves – suggesting a deep, inevitable union. This motif of blending and unity is a central theme, pointing towards a romantic love that is as natural and destined as these elements of nature. “Con tu corazón en mi corazón” (With your heart in my heart) underscores the message, envisaging a shared life colored by love, symbolized by the improved brilliance of ‘el lucero azul’ (the blue star).



Symbolism of Dos corazones

The poetic language of the tango is filled with natural symbols like clear dew, river waves, and merging fires. These illustrate the purity, strength, and inevitability of the emotional connection between the lovers. The ‘lucero azul’ symbolizes hope and dreams, suggesting that the merging of hearts not only enhances love but also the broader aspect of life. Furthermore, nature sounding ‘cristalinas’ notes and a ‘divina luz’ wrapping around them evoke a divine blessing on their union, enhancing the tango’s emotional depth.



Dos corazones in historic Context

Recorded in 1944, during a turbulent period in world history and an era rich in Argentine cultural expression, “Dos corazones” offers a form of escapism into a world of ideal love and harmony. This was a time when tango music served not just as entertainment but as a narrative and emotional outlet for people. The romantic idealism in this tango may have provided a comforting counterbalance to the harsh realities of the time.
