Letra del Tango Historia de un amor

Ya no estás más a mi lado, corazón,
en el alma sólo tengo soledad
y si ya no puedo verte,
porque Dios me hizo quererte
para hacerme sufrir más…

Siempre fuiste la razón de mi existir,
adorarte para mí fue religión.
Y en tus besos yo encontraba
el calor que me brindaba,
el amor y la pasión.

Es la historia de un amor,
como no hay otro igual.
Que me hizo comprender,
todo el bien todo el mal,
que le dio luz a mi vida,
apagandola después.
¡Ay, qué vida tan oscura,
corazón,
sin tu amor no viviré!

English lyrics of the Tango "Historia de un amor"

You’re no longer by my side, my heart,
In my soul, I only have loneliness,
And if I can no longer see you,
Because God made me love you
To make me suffer more…

You were always the reason for my existence,
To adore you was my religion.
In your kisses, I found
The warmth they offered,
The love and the passion.

It’s the story of a love,
Like no other, incomparable.
It made me understand,
All that’s good, all that’s bad,
It brought light to my life,
Then extinguished it after.
Oh, what a dark life,
My heart,
Without your love, I won’t live!

Story behind the Tango Historia de un amor

“Historia de un amor” (Story of a Love) is a poignant tango that captures the essence of an intense and passionate, yet ultimately lost love. The lyrics tell the tale of a person who reminisces about a past relationship, detailing the torment and void left behind. The opening lines set a somber tone, establishing the themes of loneliness and the relentless pain of lost love. The singer acknowledges the divine role in their suffering, suggesting that their love was fated yet destined to bring agony.



Symbolism of Historia de un amor

The song is rich with symbolic language that underscores the emotional intensity of the narrative. Phrases like “en el alma sólo tengo soledad” (in the soul I have only loneliness) highlight the inner desolation experienced by the speaker. The act of adoration being compared to religion elevates the beloved to a divine status, emphasizing the depth of the speaker’s devotion. Furthermore, the juxtaposition of light and darkness, as in “que le dio luz a mi vida, apagándola después” (which gave light to my life, turning it off later), symbolizes the profound impact of the beloved on the speaker’s life, first illuminating and then extinguishing it.



Historia de un amor in historic Context

Released in 1956, “Historia de un amor” appeared at a time when tango music was a pivotal element of Argentine culture, often reflecting the emotional and social landscapes of its people. Post-World War II Argentina was experiencing significant change and political tension, and themes of loss and nostalgia were relevant, mirroring the sentiments of a society grappling with uncertainty and transformation. This tango thus not only speaks of personal loss but also resonates with a broader experience of change and pain.
