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
great, sensual.
Smoking, I wait
for the man I love,
through the panes
of joyful windows.
While I smoke,
I don’t consume my life
because floating in the smoke
I often drowse away…
Lying in the chaise longue
to dream and love…
To see my lover
attentive and gallant,
feel his lips
kiss with wise kisses,
and the flirtation
feel with more desires
when I see his eyes,
thirsty with passion.
That’s why with my darling here
my 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 warmth
of intoxicating smoke
that finally kindles
the burning flame of love.

My Egyptian is special,
what a scent, sir.
After the battle
in which love bursts forth,
a cigarette
is always a respite
and though it seems
the body weakens,
after the cigarette grows
its strength, its vigor.
The moment of unrest
with it, is not cruel,
its spirals are heavenly dreams,
and form clouds
that rise to glory
and wrapped in them,
its spark is a star
that shines, bright and beautiful
with swift brilliance.
That’s why with my darling here
my smoking is a paradise.

Story behind the Tango Fumando espero

The tango “Fumando espero” paints a vivid picture of longing and anticipation through the act of smoking, turning it into an almost ritualistic form of meditation as the protagonist waits for their beloved. The image of someone languidly relaxing, perhaps lying on a chaise lounge, evokes a moment of pause filled with anticipation and dreamy reflections. The act of smoking becomes a companion in solitude, amplifying the feelings of desire and longing while adding a sense of sensuality to the otherwise simple action of waiting. The protagonist dreams of their lover, imagines romantic encounters, and allows themselves to be engulfed in the euphoria that smoking seems to offer during these moments.

Symbolism of Fumando espero

The symbolism in “Fumando espero” is rich, with the cigarette representing both escape and desire. Smoking is depicted as an indulgent pleasure, a moment of suspension in time before the protagonist’s lover arrives. Phrases like “Fumando espero” capture the idea of expectant waiting where the smoke symbolizes dreams drifting upwards, carrying thoughts of love and passion. The use of language such as “fumando espero al hombre a quien yo quiero” (smoking, I wait for the man I love) underlines this longing, while “dame el humo de tu boca” (give me the smoke from your mouth) highlights an intense desire for connection and intimacy. The smoke becomes a tangible entity that connects thoughts, dreams, and desires, bridging the gap between solitary moments and shared passions.

Fumando espero in historic Context

Created in Buenos Aires in 1956, “Fumando espero” comes from a period rich with cultural exchange and vibrancy, as Argentina was deeply immersed in the tango culture. The tango was more than just a dance or music style; it was a social phenomenon that reflected the complex emotions and experiences of those living in the bustling metropolis. Post-war Argentina was marked by political unrest and changes, yet tango remained a unique and enduring symbol of identity. The lyrics capture a blend of personal introspection and universal longing, emotions universally understood amidst the rapidly changing social landscape. Its placement in this era highlights the shifting attitudes towards personal freedom and social norms, aligning the intimate spaces of tango with those broader cultural explorations.

Juan Viladomat, the composer of “Fumando espero,” contributed to tango’s rich legacy by capturing its emotional depth and sensual essence. His compositions exemplified the nuanced interplay between melody and lyrical storytelling that defined tango music.
