Letra del Tango Fichera

Por esta senda donde un bello ruiseñor

cantaba alegre sobre un viejo ventanal,

por esta senda yo he volcado, de mi infancia

las arrogancias de mis años de esplendor.

Aquí, del canto de las brisas, aprendí

las armonías de una dicha singular,

y el alba radiante

con su deslumbrante

corola de luces me enseñó a adorar.



Bella

senda

donde

mi alma

aprendió a querer,

donde con mis juegos placenteros

pasé los años primeros

que ya no pueden volver.

Felices años que adoraba con vehemencia

bajo el sol de la inocencia

que me hacía enternecer.

Soy un jilguero que va volando, volando,

y su canto va dejando

con infinito fervor,

pues en tu senda que está llena de esplendores,

con las más fragantes flores

hice mi nido de amor.



En un recodo de tu senda está mi hogar,

donde mi amada, con dulcísima emoción,

dice a la vida la belleza que la inunda,

con las palabras que modula en su canción.



Senda florida que jamás olvidaré;

bendita senda donde las dichas bebí,

y que has perfumado

el goce anhelado

de verme inundado de azul porvenir.

English lyrics of the Tango "Fichera"

On this path where a beautiful nightingale

sang joyfully over an old window,

on this path I have poured, from my childhood

the arrogance of my years of splendor.

Here, from the song of the breezes, I learned

the harmonies of a unique happiness,

and the radiant dawn

with its dazzling

corolla of lights taught me to adore.



Beautiful

path

where

my soul

learned to love,

where with my pleasant games

I spent the first years

that can no longer return.

Happy years that I adored fervently

under the sun of innocence

that made me tender.

I am a goldfinch flying, flying,

and leaving its song

with infinite zeal,

for on your path that is full of splendors,

with the most fragrant flowers

I made my nest of love.



In a bend of your path is my home,

where my beloved, with sweetest emotion,

tells life the beauty that floods her,

with the words she modulates in her song.

Flowery path I will never forget;

blessed path where I drank joys,

and you have scented

the longed-for pleasure

of seeing myself flooded with a blue future.

Story behind the Tango Fichera

The lyrics of “Fichera” narrate a deeply nostalgic journey along a path where the narrator’s youthful splendor and innocence once thrived. The path is portrayed as a crucial part of the narrator’s childhood, filled with nature’s beauty and harmonious sounds that taught him the essence of love and happiness. Reflecting on his past experiences along this path, the narrator expresses a blend of joyous memories and the melancholic realization that such times are irrecoverable.



Symbolism of Fichera

The “path” in the lyrics symbolizes life’s journey, reflecting both physical and temporal dimensions of growth and change. Key phrases like “where I learned to love” and “with my pleasant games” suggest the path is a metaphor for the singer’s coming of age. The recurring images of a “radiant dawn” and “flowering path” enrich this metaphor, symbolizing new beginnings and the blossoming of youth respectively. The reference to becoming overwhelmed by a “blue future” suggests a mix of hopefulness and the overwhelming nature of growing up.



Fichera in historic Context

“Fichera” was created in 1970, a period rich with cultural transformation in Argentina. Against the backdrop of social and political changes, the tango might evoke a sense of clinging to simpler, more innocent times as a refuge from the complex realities of adulthood. The nostalgic tone might resonate with listeners’ own longings for the past, especially in an era marked by significant upheaval and shifts in societal norms.
