Letra del Tango Fumando espero

Fumar es un placer
genial, sensual.
Fumando espero
al hombre a quien yo quiero,
tras los cristales
de alegres ventanales.
Mientras fumo,
mi vida no consumo
porque flotando el humo
me suelo adormecer…
Tendida en la chaisse longue
soñar y amar…
Ver a mi amante
solícito y galante,
sentir sus labios
besar con besos sabios,
y el devaneo
sentir con más deseos
cuando sus ojos veo,
sedientos de pasión.
Por eso estando mi bien
es mi fumar un edén.

Dame el humo de tu boca.
Anda, que así me vuelvo loca.
Corre que quiero enloquecer
de placer,
sintiendo ese calor
del humo embriagador
que acaba por prender
la llama ardiente del amor.

Mi egipcio es especial,
qué olor, señor.
Tras la batalla
en que el amor estalla,
un cigarrillo
es siempre un descansillo
y aunque parece
que el cuerpo languidece,
tras el cigarro crece
su fuerza, su vigor.
La hora de inquietud
con él, no es cruel,
sus espirales son sueños celestiales,
y forman nubes
que así a la gloria suben
y envuelta en ella,
su chispa es una estrella
que luce, clara y bella
con rápido fulgor.
Por eso estando mi bien
es mi fumar un edén.

English lyrics of the Tango "Fumando espero"

Smoking is a pleasure,
genial, sensual.
Waiting as I smoke
for the man I adore,
behind the glass
of cheerful windows.
While I smoke,
my life does not consume,
for with the drifting smoke
I tend to fall asleep…
Stretched out on the chaise longue
to dream and love…
Seeing my lover
attentive and gallant,
feeling his lips
kiss with wise kisses,
and the flirtation
to feel with more desire
when I see his eyes,
thirsty with passion.
That’s why with my love,
smoking is a paradise.

Give me the smoke from your mouth.
Come on, that makes me go crazy.
Hurry, I want to go mad
with pleasure,
feeling that heat
from the intoxicating smoke
that finally lights
the fiery flame of love.

My cigarette is special,
what a scent, sir.
After the battle
where love explodes,
a cigarette
is always a little break
and though it seems
the body weakens,
after the cigarette it regains
its strength, its vigor.
The hour of restlessness
with it, is not cruel,
its spirals are celestial dreams,
and they form clouds
that ascend to glory
and enveloped in it,
its spark is a star
that shines, clear and beautiful
with rapid brilliance.
That’s why with my love,
smoking is a paradise.

Story behind the Tango Fumando espero

“Fumando espero” reveals an intimately evocative narrative, underscoring a person’s pleasurable anticipation while smoking, awaiting the arrival of a beloved. The lyricist, Félix Garzo, captures a vivid scene of waiting behind joyous windows, lost in smoke-induced reverie, resonating a sensual pleasure linked intimately with the act of smoking and yearning for a lover. The fusion of tobacco’s transient smoke with the enduring desire for romantic fulfillment lends a poignant layer to this evocative waiting game.



Symbolism of Fumando espero

The repeated phrase, “Fumando espero,” which translates to “Smoking, I wait,” encapsulates a significant thematic essence of longing merged with the sensual act of smoking. Smoke, ethereal and transient, morphs into a symbol for fleeting moments and ephemeral pleasures. The act of smoking not only serves as a physical indulgence but also as a metaphorical pause, a momentary escape within which desires and dreams are enkindled. Additionally, the reference to “el humo de tu boca” or “the smoke from your mouth” intertwines intimacy with the act of smoking, suggesting an almost kiss-like communion through the shared breath of smoke, evoking passion and a deep connection.



Fumando espero in historic Context

This tango, emerging in 1956 in Argentina, basks in the backdrop of a cultural era where smoking was predominantly viewed as a mark of sophistication rather than a health hazard. The sensual and almost ritualistic depiction of smoking aligns with mid-20th-century sentiments, weaving an alluring tableau of romance, anticipation, and the smoke-filled waiting. The serene indulgence in smoking coupled with the passionate waiting for a lover reflects the societal norms and romantic ideations prevalent during this period.
