Letra del Vals Flores del alma

Recuerdos de una noche venturosa
que vuelven en mi alma a florecer.
Recuerdos que se fueron con el tiempo,
presiento que reviven otra vez.

Igual que aquella noche tan lejana,
es esta de mi amarga soledad.
La luna sobre el cielo azul te alumbra,
como otra blanca luna que yo nunca veré más.

Si quieres olvidarme, dejame…
Dijiste la mañana que partí.
Tú sabes que te quiero y te querré
y tuyo es el cariño que te di.

A nadie quise tanto como a ti
y amante te ofrecí mi corazón.
Yo sé que para siempre te ha perdido, mi alma,
ya que todo ha sido sólo una ilusión.

Así me reprochabas, sin saber,
que yo compadecía tu dolor,
que cuando me ofreciste tu querer
yo estaba enamorado de otro amor.

¿Comprendes el porqué de mi partir?
¿Comprendes mi amargura en el adiós?
Acaso con los años me hayas olvidado,
¡pero nunca yo!

English lyrics of the Vals "Flores del alma"

Memories of a blissful night
are blooming again in my soul.
Memories that faded with time,
I feel they are coming to life again.

Just like that distant night,
so is this one of my bitter solitude.
The moon above the blue sky lights your way,
like another white moon I will never see again.

If you want to forget me, let me go…
You said on the morning I left.
You know that I love you and will love you,
and yours is the affection I gave.

I loved no one as much as you,
and offered you my heart as a lover.
I know that forever my soul has lost you,
since it was all just an illusion.

Thus you reproached me, unaware,
that I pitied your pain,
that when you offered me your love
I was in love with someone else.

Do you understand why I had to leave?
Do you understand my bitterness in the farewell?
Perhaps over the years you have forgotten me,
but I never will!

Story behind the Tango Flores del alma

The tango “Flores del alma” translates to “Flowers of the Soul” and speaks of poignant and nostalgic memories of a past love. It reflects on moments of happiness that have faded over time but are revived within the soul. This song tells a tale of love, loss, and the bittersweet residue of memories that linger, influencing present emotions and a sense of solitude under the moonlit sky.



Symbolism of Flores del alma

The title “Flores del alma” symbolically represents the enduring and blooming recollections in one’s soul—memories that keep the essence of a lost love alive, akin to flowers that might bloom in spring after a long, bitter winter. The recurring imagery of moonlight and nights speaks to a theme of enduring, melancholic reflection, where the moon acts as a silent witness to the narrator’s solitude and unrequited love.



Flores del alma in historic Context

Created in 1942 in Argentina, “Flores del alma” emerges during a vibrant yet tumultuous era in Argentine history marked by political change and cultural revolution. The song’s emotional depth and exploration of personal loss parallel the broader societal sentiments of uncertainty and transformation. The emphasis on nostalgic memories could also mirror a collective nostalgia for simpler, more stable times amid the socio-political shifts of the era.
