Letra del Vals Feliz Navidad

En torno a la mesa

es todo alegría,

se olvida una pena,

se olvida el rencor.

Y en la cabecera,

la abuela dichosa

estrecha amorosa

al nietecito menor.



Dos lágrimas tiemblan

en cada pupila,

refleja su rostro

feliz emoción.

Los nietos rodean

su blanca cabeza,

formando una rueda

de dicha y amor.



Brindemos, hermanos,

brindemos, amigos.

Salud para el Padre,

bendígalo, Dios.

Y para ti, Madre,

un beso profundo

de mi corazón.



Campanas de gloria

echadas al vuelo

repican y dicen

por la inmensidad.

Que hay paz en la tierra

y hay luz en el cielo

repican y dicen

Feliz Navidad!

English lyrics of the Vals "Feliz Navidad"

Around the table

there’s only joy,

a sorrow forgotten,

a grudge left behind.

And at the head,

the joyful grandmother

closely embraces

her youngest grandchild.

Two tears tremble

in each pupil,

her face reflects

a happy emotion.

The grandchildren surround

her white head,

forming a circle

of bliss and love.

Let’s toast, brothers,

let’s toast, friends.

Health to the Father,

may God bless him.

And for you, Mother,

a deep kiss

from my heart.

Bells of glory

thrown into flight

ring out and proclaim

across the expanse.

That there is peace on earth

and light in heaven

they ring and say

Merry Christmas!

Story behind the Tango Feliz Navidad

The lyrics of “Feliz Navidad” evoke a scenic and heartwarming image of a family gathering during Christmas. The scene is set around a joyous dinner table where past grievances are forgotten, symbolizing reconciliation and unity. An endearing moment is spotlighted where the family’s matriarch, the grandmother, lovingly embraces her youngest grandchild at the head of the table, highlighting the symbolism of generational continuity and familial love.



Symbolism of Feliz Navidad

The detailed imagery of two trembling tears in everyone’s eyes reflects deep emotional connections and the intense joy of familial togetherness. These tears symbolize both happiness and possibly the melancholic undertone of nostalgic memories. The chorus around the grandmother figure, described as forming a “wheel of happiness and love,” symbolizes unity and the circular nature of life, which resonates with the family coming together cyclically each year. Furthermore, the joyous pealing of bells ringing out “Feliz Navidad” symbolizes a message of peace and light, transcending the immediate family to a universal scale.



Feliz Navidad in Historic Context

“Feliz Navidad” was penned in 1958, a period when Argentina was experiencing significant political and social transformations. During this time, the notion of family could serve as a stabilizing force. The tango, inherently nostalgic and often evocative of deeper societal sentiments, here serves as a reminder of simple, profound joys amidst broader societal tensions. The message of peace and goodwill holds particular resonance in such a context, suggesting a yearning for universal harmony amid local turmoil.



Ernesto Rodriguez

An influential figure in Argentine music, Ernesto Rodriguez is known for crafting lyrics that resonate deeply with the national sentiment while encompassing universal themes of love, family, and societal values.
