Letra del Vals El vals soñador

Quién al oír los primeros compases del vals

no ha tenido intención de bailar.

Si hasta parece que el mundo en su eterno rodar

girará al compás de algún vals.

Si usted ha soñado en sus brazos poder estrechar

a esa rubia que encanta al mirar.

Juntos muy juntos los dos estarán

si siguen el ritmo del vals.



Soñar,

dejarse arrullar,

decir al oído palabras tan dulces

que invitan a amar.

Soñar,

siguiendo el compás,

cerrando los ojos

muy cerca las bocas el sueño del vals.

Sentir que nos aprisiona

un perfume de amor.

Que un ángel con voz de cielo

nos roba el adiós.

Soñar,

siguiendo el compás

que todo es distinto

si entrega su alma

al ritmo del vals.

English lyrics of the Vals "El vals soñador"

Who upon hearing the first chords of the waltz
has not felt the urge to dance?
It seems even the world in its eternal spin
will twirl to the rhythm of a waltz.

If you’ve dreamed of holding close
that blond who captivates with a glance.
Close together you both will be
if you follow the waltz’s beat.

Dream,
let it lull you,
whisper in the ear such sweet words
that invite you to love.
Dream,
following the beat,
closing your eyes,
mouths very close, the dream of the waltz.
Feel that a perfume of love
binds us,
that an angel with a heavenly voice
steals away our goodbye.
Dream,
following the beat
that everything is different
if she gives her soul
to the rhythm of the waltz.

Story behind the Tango El vals soñador

“El vals soñador,” which can be translated as “The Dreamer’s Waltz,” evokes the universal allure of the waltz dance, capturing its rhythm as a metonym for romantic fantasy and affection. The lyrics narrate the story of someone who, upon hearing the first chords of a waltz, feels compelled to dance and dream of a potential romantic encounter. The overarching theme is the escapism found in dance, specifically the waltz, and how it allows for a temporary departure into a dreamlike state where love and closeness are realized.


Symbolism of El vals soñador

The waltz itself is symbolized as a vehicle for dreams and romance. Key phrases like “closing one’s eyes” and “feeling a perfume of love” enhance the dreamy, almost ethereal quality of the experience. The act of dancing in this context is not just a physical action but also an emotional journey, suggesting a release from the ordinary constraints of life into a more magical, romantic sphere. The repeated invitations to “dream” throughout the lyrics underscore the escapism and transformative potential of engaging in the waltz.


El vals soñador in historic Context

Created in 1942 in Argentina, “El vals soñador” emerged during a period where Tango music was deeply entrenched in the cultural fabric of Buenos Aires. The city, during this era, was a melting pot of cultural innovation and transformation. This period was also marked by significant global turmoil with World War II, which perhaps influenced the escapist themes of the tango lyrics. The yearning for a simpler, more romantic life as depicted in the song likely resonated deeply with an audience living through times of uncertainty and change.
