Letra del Vals El mismo dolor

Otras manos serán, será otra cara.

Serán otras palabras y otra voz,

me traerán nuevos días, nuevas ansias

y acaso en mis inviernos

florezca otra ilusión.

Otros sueños serán, será otro nombre.

Serán otros motivos y otro adiós.

Cambiará todo, todo, pero siempre

en mi vida golpeará el mismo dolor.



Dolor de tus palabras que ya nunca

serán en mi canción.

Dolor de mis mañanas sin tu risa,

mis días sin tu amor.

Dolor de la distancia irremediable

que dibujó el adiós.

Dolor, siempre el dolor

como una mano terca,

que aprieta el corazón.



Otro gesto será, será otra risa.

Serán otras locuras y otro amor.

Llegará por la senda otra esperanza

y acaso otros paisajes renueven mi emoción.

Otra noche será, será otro beso.

Serán otros recuerdos y otro adiós.

Cambiará todo, todo, pero siempre

en mi vida golpeará el mismo dolor.

English lyrics of the Vals "El mismo dolor"

Other hands will be, another face it will be.

There will be other words and another voice,

bringing me new days, new desires,

and perhaps in my winters,

another illusion will bloom.

Other dreams will be, another name it will be.

There will be other reasons and another goodbye.

Everything will change, everything, but always

the same pain will beat in my life.

Pain from your words that will never again

be in my song.

Pain from my mornings without your laughter,

my days without your love.

Pain from the inevitable distance

drawn by the farewell.

Pain, always the pain

like a stubborn hand,

squeezing the heart.

Another gesture will be, another laugh it will be.

There will be other madnesses and another love.

Another hope will arrive down the path

and perhaps other landscapes will renew my emotion.

Another night will be, another kiss it will be.

There will be other memories and another goodbye.

Everything will change, everything, but always

the same pain will beat in my life.

El mismo dolor by Carlos Bahr

El mismo dolor is a Tango written by Carlos Bahr and composed by Enrique Francini.

Story behind the Tango El mismo dolor

“El mismo dolor” reflects a narrative of unending emotional pain, despite the passage of time and changes in circumstances. The lyrics poignantly highlight the pain of past memories and lost love that persists regardless of new experiences or relationships. The central motif revolves around the constant presence of this ‘same pain,’ which accompanies the narrator through different stages and changes in life, suggesting a deep sense of melancholy and nostalgia for what once was.


Symbolism of El mismo dolor

The tango uses potent symbolism to convey its themes of loss and enduring sadness. Phrases like “Dolor de tus palabras que ya nunca serán en mi canción” (The pain of your words that will never again be in my song) utilize the metaphor of song to represent life and lost voices as disappearing melodies. Another symbolic layer is the heart described as being persistently squeezed by a ‘stubborn hand,’ illustrating the unrelenting nature of the narrator’s emotional pain. These choices of words intensify the depth of longing and loss felt by the narrator.


El mismo dolor in historic Context

“El mismo dolor” was written in 1946, a period post-World War II where Argentina was experiencing significant political and social changes. This period was marked by a mix of hope and uncertainty about the future. The sentiment of enduring sadness despite changes may resonate with the broader societal mood of the times, where people grappled with memories of the past and uncertainties of the future. The tango could also be seen as reflecting personal melancholy amidst national transformation.
