Letra del Tango El corazón me decía

Tengo una esperanza que me anima
Que me da valor para luchar,
Siento que del fondo de mi vida
De mi vida destrozada… vuelvo a soñar.
Siento una emoción que me agiganta
Grita el corazón que es más feliz,
Siento que dulcemente
Me dice en su latir… vuelvo a vivir.

El corazón me decía…
Que pronto la olvidaría.
Y entre el dolor y el rencor
Que me dejó aquel amor…
La fui queriendo… queriendo.
El corazón me decía…
Que un nuevo amor hallaría.
Y fue por este querer
Que me ha devuelto la fe
Que vuelvo a ser el de ayer.

Canta el nuevo amor sus esperanzas
Y al acariciar esta pasión,
Siento que se alejan de las sombras
Los fantasmas que aterraban… mi corazón.
Todo es más azul en esta noche
Brilla con fulgor la luz lunar,
Siento que está en mi vida
Brotando una canción… sentimental.

English lyrics of the Tango "El corazón me decía"

I have a hope that inspires me,
That gives me courage to fight.
I feel that from the depth of my life,
My shattered life… I dream again.
I feel an emotion that magnifies me,
My heart cries out it’s happier,
I feel that sweetly
In its beating… I live again.

My heart was telling me…
That soon I would forget her.
And between the pain and the bitterness
That that love left me…
I went on loving… loving.
My heart was telling me…
That I would find a new love.
And it was due to this loving
That has restored my faith
That I return to being who I was.

The new love sings its hopes
And by caressing this passion,
I feel the shadows moving away
The phantoms that terrified… my heart.
Everything is more blue this night,
The lunar light shines brilliantly,
I feel that in my life
A sentimental song is blossoming…

Story behind the Tango El corazón me decía

“El corazón me decía” depicts a journey of emotional healing and rediscovery of hope through the power of a new love. The lyrics articulate a narrative where the protagonist, after suffering the pains of a past relationship, experiences a renewal of spirit and optimism. The heart, symbolically representing the inner voice and emotional core, speaks to the protagonist, suggesting that old wounds will heal and a new loving relationship will blossom. This healing is both a literal and metaphorical resurgence of life forces, empowering the individual to dream and love again.



Symbolism of El corazón me decía

The repeated refrain “El corazón me decía” (“My heart was telling me”) underscores the central role of the heart as a harbinger of truth and a guide through emotional turmoil. The heart in these lyrics does more than feel; it speaks, advises, and reassures. Additionally, the night skies turning bluer and the glowing moonlight in the lyrics symbolize a clear transition from darkness to light, echoing the theme of hope and revival. This transformation underscores not only a change in emotional state but also a broader suggestion of the healing power of time and love.
