Letra del Tango Felicidad

Juntos, siempre juntos,
en un solo corazón
con el cariño de los dos.
Así, por ti soñé,
como soñaste tú,
como viví llamándote.
Vivo porque vives
y comparto tu inquietud.
Río al verte sonreir,
sueño con tus sueños
y el arrullo de tu voz
es una canción para los dos.

Mi felicidad
estará donde tú estás.
Tu felicidad
en mis manos la tendrás.
Si te tengo a ti
el mundo es oro para mí
y en un susurro nos dirá felicidad.

Es felicidad
el mirar en tu mirar.
Es felicidad
cuando voy donde tú estás.
Mientras haya dos
que quieran bien como tú y yo…
habrá felicidad.

English lyrics of the Tango "Felicidad"

Together, always together,
in a single heart,
with the affection of us both.
Thus, for you I dreamed,
as you dreamed,
as I lived calling you.
I live because you live,
and share your restlessness.
I laugh when I see you smile,
I dream with your dreams,
and the lull of your voice
is a song for us both.

My happiness
will be where you are.
Your happiness
you will have in my hands.
If I have you,
the world is gold to me,
and in a whisper, it will speak of happiness.

It is happiness
to see in your eyes.
It is happiness
when I go where you are.
As long as there are two
who love well like you and I…
there will be happiness.

Story behind the Tango Felicidad

The lyrics of “Felicidad” illustrate a deeply sentimental dialogue about shared experiences and emotional synchronicity between two people bonded in love. The song conveys the intimacy and unity of a couple, unified in heart and purpose, where personal joy is inseparable from the partner’s presence. The recurring emphasis on mutual joy and shared dreams underscores a profound commitment to each other’s happiness.



Symbolism of Felicidad

The tango uses several poetic devices to deepen the depiction of shared love. Phrases like “en un solo corazón” (in a single heart) and “como viví llamándote” (as I lived calling you) symbolize a profound spiritual union and the transcending of individuality in favor of a joint existence. The concept of “felicidad” (happiness) is personified in the song, made tangible and almost touchable through sentiments and shared moments, suggesting that true happiness is found in the fusion of souls and shared life paths.



Felicidad in historic Context

Created in 1959, during a culturally rich yet politically complex time in Argentina, “Felicidad” emerges as a soothing balm that might have offered listeners an escape into personal love and shared dreams amidst a background of societal unrest. The emphasis on personal joy and communal harmony reflects a timeless aspiration for stability in an intimate sphere, which often resonates during times of external turmoil.
