Letra del Vals Igual que dos palomas

Recuerdo fue una noche

Bordada de estrellas,

Nos conocimos tú y yo,

Y al misterioso encanto

La dulce querella

Te fue nimbando de amor.

Te acurruqué en mi pecho

Besando tu pelo,

Y tuve miedo, no sé

Que me negaras tus labios

Para calmar tanta sed.



Igual que dos palomas

Vivíamos tú y yo,

Mis pasos tú seguías

Tus pasos yo guiaba,

Tu vida era mi vida

Mi amor era tu amor,

Igual que dos palomas

Volaste un negro día,

Tus alas se quebraron

Y el cielo enmudeció.



Tu imagen me persigue

Te veo en las sombras,

¡Cómo deseo morir!

El viento susurrando

Te llama, te nombra

Para qué quiero vivir.

Cuando llega la noche

Bordada de estrellas,

Ruego pidiendo al confín

Que marque pronto mi huella

Para volar junto a ti.

English lyrics of the Vals "Igual que dos palomas"

I remember it was a night

Embroidered with stars,

We met, you and I,

And to the mysterious charm

Sweet quarrel

Wrapped you in love.

I nestled you against my chest

Kissing your hair,

And I was afraid, I don’t know

That you would deny me your lips

To quench such thirst.



Just like two doves

We lived, you and I,

My steps you followed

Your steps I guided,

Your life was my life

My love was your love,

Just like two doves

You flew away one dark day,

Your wings broke

And the sky fell silent.



Your image haunts me

I see you in the shadows,

How I wish to die!

The wind whispering

Calls you, names you

Why should I want to live.

When night falls

Embroidered with stars,

I pray asking the edge

To soon mark my trace

To fly next to you.

Story behind the Tango Igual que dos palomas

The lyrics of “Igual que dos palomas” recount a poignant story of love and loss, set against a backdrop of a star-embroidered night where two lovers meet. Initially, there is a blend of vulnerability and enchantment as the narrator fears rejection but is comforted by the act of drawing the partner close. The relationship is described metaphorically as being like two doves, symbolizing purity, unity, and love. However, tragedy strikes as one dove metaphorically flies away, indicating a separation by death or departure, leaving behind a profound sense of loss and longing.



Symbolism of Igual que dos palomas

The use of doves in “Igual que dos palomas” is symbolic of peace, innocence, and deep connection, which enhances the emotional weight of the separation. The night “bordada de estrellas” (embroidered with stars) adds a layer of magic and infiniteness to the setting, contrasting sharply with the finite and stark reality of loss. The recurring mention of stars and night also underscores themes of destiny and the uncontrollable course of life’s events. Phrases like “Volaste un negro día,” translate to “You flew away on a black day,” depicting the dark, unforeseen change that severed the unity of the lovers, thrusting the narrator into shadow and grief.



Igual que dos palomas in historic Context

“Igual que dos palomas” was written and recorded in the mid-20th century Argentina, during a period rich in tango evolution. The post-World War II era was a time of great emotional exploration in tango lyrics, reflecting broader societal shifts and personal narratives of loss, resilience, and nostalgia. The year 1953 might not be particularly significant in the larger historical context, but it represents an era in which traditional tango began embracing more complex, often sadder themes.
