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
that bloom again in my soul.
Memories that faded with time,
I sense they revive once more.

Just like that distant night,
is this one of my bitter solitude.
The moon shines on you in the blue sky,
like another white moon I will never see again.

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

I loved no one as much as you
and offered you my heart, my lover.
I know my soul has lost you forever,
since everything has been just an illusion.

You reproached me, not knowing,
that I pitied your pain,
that when you offered me your love
I was in love with another.

Do you understand why I left?
Do you understand my bitterness in farewell?
Perhaps with the years you have forgotten me,
but I never will!

Story behind the Tango Flores del alma

The lyrics of “Flores del alma” depict a poignant story of love, loss, and nostalgia. The speaker reminisces about a cherished night filled with happiness which has blossomed again in his soul as memories. As these thoughts unfold, there is a strong sense of longing and unrequited love evident in the narrative where the speaker acknowledges a parting and an expressed wish to be forgotten. This bittersweet farewell is marked with an understanding of mutual love but also the sad reality of its ending. The deep emotional turmoil is compounded by a revelation that the speaker was in love with another, explaining the reason for their departure and the ensuing heartache.



Symbolism of Flores del alma

The title itself, “Flores del alma” or “Flowers of the soul,” symbolizes memories that are both beautiful and poignant, emerging like flowers in one’s soul. Throughout the tango, there is vivid imagery tied to these memories, enhancing their emotional weight. The reference to the moon illuminating the night sky as it did during that distant, cherished night, adds a layer of nostalgia, symbolizing constancy amidst change. The moonlight can also be seen as a symbol of distant love – illuminating but untouchable, enhancing the themes of longing and separation.



Flores del alma in historic Context

Written and recorded in Argentina in 1947, “Flores del alma” emerged in a post-World War II context, a time when themes of loss and recovery were globally resonant. The tango, deeply embedded in Argentine culture, often reflects the sentiments of its people. In this era, there was a collective processing of many forms of loss – of loved ones, of time, of opportunity. Therefore, this tango may resonate deeply with listeners as it encapsulates the intimate personal losses within a broader societal recovery.
