Letra del Tango El sueño del pibe

Golpearon la puerta de la humilde casa,
la voz del cartero muy clara se oyó,
y el pibe corriendo con todas sus ansias
al perrito blanco sin querer pisó.

‘Mamita, mamita’ se acercó gritando;
la madre extrañada dejo el piletón
y el pibe le dijo riendo y llorando:
‘El club me ha mandado hoy la citación.’

Mamita querida,
ganaré dinero,
seré un Baldonedo,
un Martino, un Boyé;
dicen los muchachos
de Oeste Argentino
que tengo más tiro
que el gran Bernabé.
Vas a ver que lindo
cuando allá en la cancha
mis goles aplaudan;
seré un triunfador.
Jugaré en la quinta
después en primera,
yo sé que me espera
la consagración

Dormía el muchacho y tuvo esa noche
el sueño más lindo que pudo tener;
El estadio lleno, glorioso domingo
por fin en primera lo iban a ver.

Faltando un minuto están cero a cero;
tomó la pelota, sereno en su acción,
gambeteando a todos se enfrentó al arquero
y con fuerte tiro quebró el marcador.

English lyrics of the Tango "El sueño del pibe"

The door of the humble house was knocked,
the voice of the postman was heard clear and strong,
and the boy running with all his eagerness
accidentally stepped on the little white dog.

“Mommy, mommy,” he approached yelling;
the puzzled mother left the sink,
and the boy told her laughing and crying:
“The club has sent me the call-up today.”

Dear mommy,
I will earn money,
I’ll be a Baldonedo,
a Martino, a Boyé;
the boys
from West Argentina say
that I shoot harder
than the great Bernabé.
You will see how beautiful
when there on the field
my goals are applauded;
I’ll be a winner.
I will play in the fifth division,
then in the first,
I know that my debut
is waiting for me.

The boy was sleeping and that night
he had the most beautiful dream he could have;
The packed stadium, glorious Sunday
finally in first division, they would see him.

With one minute left the score was nil-nil;
he took the ball, calm in his action,
dodging everyone he faced the goalkeeper
and with a strong shot broke the tie.

Story behind the Tango El sueño del pibe

The song “El sueño del pibe” or “The Kid’s Dream” revolves around the hopes and dreams of a young boy aspiring to become a football superstar. The lyrics begin with an earnest scene where a postman brings a letter to a modest house, signifying a turn of events for the boy. His emotional reaction, combined with his innocent disruption of his small white dog in excitement, paints a vivid picture of youthful exuberance and aspiration. His dream is validated when he tells his mother that he has been summoned by the club – a momentous step toward his dream of becoming a celebrated football player like his idols.


Symbolism of El sueño del pibe

The song uses vivid imagery and emotional dialogue to highlight the universal theme of aspiration and success. The humble beginnings, represented by the modest house and the simple life of the boy accentuate the theme of escaping poverty or mediocrity through talent and hard work. The mention of Argentine football legends like Baldonedo, Martino, and Boyé symbolizes the glory and success the boy aspires to achieve. Furthermore, the dream scene where the boy scores the winning goal symbolizes the culmination of hard work and the actualization of dreams.


El sueño del pibe in historic Context

Written and recorded in Argentina in 1945, “El sueño del pibe” emerged during a period when football was not just a sport but a cultural phenomenon that offered a glimmer of hope and a sense of identity to many. During this post-war era, sports heroes like Bernabé Ferreyra, to whom the boy compares his shooting skill, were more than athletes; they were symbols of national pride and social mobility. This tango captures the heart and spirit of Argentine passion for football, reflecting the community’s collective aspirations and dreams.
