Letra del Tango Flor del valle

Nació tu belleza con la primavera,

bajo las estrellas, cual la linda flor.

Y fuiste la reina de aquella pradera

donde nos juramos un eterno amor.

Todos contemplaron tus bellos colores,

todos te buscaron con loca pasión

y a todos brindaste placeres y amores

bajo las ardientes caricias del sol.



Flor del Valle te llamaban,

criatura angelical.

Flor del Valle, te adoraron,

por tu gracia sin igual…

Y en tus pétalos divinos

como una lágrima está

mi corazón encendido,

que es una estrella inmortal.



Pero, ya muy pronto, tus hermosas galas

perdieron su encanto, su brillo y color,

pajarito ciego que encendió tus alas

en la noche oscura de tu gran pasión.

Y la Flor del Valle, que todos besaron,

marchita y enferma nadie la lloró…

Cenicienta criolla que la abandonaron…

y la Flor del Valle de pena murió.

English lyrics of the Tango "Flor del valle"

Your beauty was born with the spring,
under the stars, like a lovely flower.
And you became the queen of that meadow
where we swore eternal love.

Everyone beheld your beautiful colors,
everyone sought you with wild passion,
and to all you offered pleasures and love
under the burning caresses of the sun.

Valley Flower they called you,
angelic creature.
Valley Flower, they adored you,
for your unmatched grace…
And on your divine petals
like a teardrop is
my ignited heart,
which is an immortal star.

But soon, your beautiful finery
lost its charm, its brightness, and color,
blind little bird that ignited your wings
in the dark night of your great passion.
And the Valley Flower, kissed by all,
withered and sick, no one mourned…
Abandoned Creole Cinderella…
and the Valley Flower died of sorrow.

Flor del valle by Luis Garros Pe

Flor del valle is a Tango written by Luis Garros Pe and composed by Guillermo Barbieri.



Story behind the Tango Flor del valle

The narrative of “Flor del valle” revolves around the transient beauty and tragic fate of a beloved figure, likened to a valley flower. The lyrics introduce us to a character whose beauty blossoms “under the stars, just like a beautiful flower” with the spring. This beloved, revered as the “queen of that meadow,” embodies youthful allure and the promise of eternal devotion. However, as the seasons of her life progress, her beauty fades, and those who once adored her leave her forsaken and forgotten, leading to her sorrowful demise as a neglected “valley flower.”



Symbolism of Flor del valle

“Flor del valle,” translating to “Flower of the Valley” in English, is rich in symbolism. It epitomizes the rise and fall of natural beauty and human affection. The flower metaphor encapsulates the lifecycle of beauty and desirability, initially sought by all “with crazy passion” and later abandoned after “losing its charm, brightness, and color.” The lyrics poignantly reflect on the many who “kissed” the valley flower, only to leave it “withered and sick” without anyone to mourn its decline. The transformation from a revered to a forsaken flower mirrors societal attitudes towards aging and lost allure.



Flor del valle in historic Context

Created in 1931 in Argentina, “Flor del valle” arrives during the global tumult of the early 20th century, echoing themes of loss and decline. Argentina, in that era, was heavily influenced by the global economic depression, which might reflect in the tango’s melancholic tone and themes of abandonment and fading glory. The tango, a dance of passion and drama, perfectly encapsulates the emotional intensity of the times and the shifts in societal conditions, representing both personal and communal despair.
