Letra del Tango En un rincón

Allí, tal vez, tal vez,
tu ayer encontraré.
Tu ayer cargado de silencio
volviendo por las calles del recuerdo.

La vida que se ha muerto y no se ha muerto.
Sombras, sueños.
Quemar, quemar el corazón
y luego recordar en un rincón.

En un rincón vivió el amor
la luz feliz, la luna llena.
Tus ojos grandes, tus manos buenas
y al fin la soledad del corazón.
En un rincón murió tu voz,
la luz más gris, más gris de amor.

English lyrics of the Tango "En un rincón"

There, perhaps, perhaps,
I might find your yesterday.
Your yesterday laden with silence
returning along memory’s streets.

The life that has died yet has not died.
Shadows, dreams.
To burn, burn the heart
and then to remember in a corner.

In a corner, love lived
the happy light, the full moon.
Your wide eyes, your kind hands
and at last, the heart’s solitude.
In a corner your voice died,
the grayest light, the grayest of love.

Story behind the Tango En un rincón

“En un rincón” translates to “In a corner” in English, symbolizing a private, intimate space where memories and emotions are deeply harbored. The lyrics poetically traverse the landscape of memory and longing, where the narrator seems to be seeking traces of a past love. Manzi frames the setting as a quiet corner where love once lived and ultimately where it faded. This nostalgic journey reflects a common theme in tango: the interplay of love, loss, and longing.



Symbolism of En un rincón

The recurring image of “un rincón” serves as a poignant symbol of solitude and introspection. Each reference in the lyrics to this corner speaks of different emotional states—joy in the recollection of love and sorrow in its cessation. Phrases like “la luz feliz, la luna llena” contrast with “la luz más gris, más gris de amor,” using light and its intensity to symbolize the fluctuating emotions associated with love’s presence and its absence. This contrast of light further enhances the emotional depth of the piece, highlighting the highs and lows experienced in intimate relationships.
