Letra del Vals Ilusión de mi vida

Asomate al balcón, mujer,

y escucha mi canción de amor,

que en ella va mi corazón

rendido de pasión y fe.

Yo te soñé, mi dulce bien,

radiante y bella como un sol,

y en tus ojazos negros vi

un mundo de ilusión;

yo tengo para ti, mujer,

un cielo para allí soñar

y un nido que será de amor

colmado de felicidad.

Tus besos curarán el mal

que llevo en mi corazón.



Yo quiero vivir de amor

porque yo sé querer.

Amor, amor, por ti penaré.

Amor, amor, por ti lloraré.

Yo quiero de ti, mujer,

calor de tu querer.

Así al dolor, tu amor matará,

yo quiero vivir sin penar.



Mi sueño se realizará

llevándote al altar, mujer;

entonces para mí serás

la dueña de mi gran querer.

Y unidos al amor los dos

ya nadie nos separará

y el velo del anochecer

tu amor alumbrará;

las penas que sufriera ayer

mi pobre corazón

se fueron cuando te encontré

la noche azul en tu balcón.

Amada de mi sueño ideal

te elevo mi canción de amor

canciones que por ti hilvanó

mi alma musical.

English lyrics of the Vals "Ilusión de mi vida"

Lean out the balcony, lady,
and hear my song of love,
for in it goes my heart
surrendered with passion and faith.

I dreamt you, my sweet love,
radiant and bright like the sun,
and in your dark, big eyes, I saw
a world full of illusion;
for you, lady, I have
a heavens to dream within
and a nest that will be of love,
filled with happiness.

Your kisses will heal the ailment
that dwells in my heart.

I want to live for love
because I know how to love.
Love, love, for you I will sorrow.
Love, love, for you I will weep.
From you, lady, I want
the warmth of your affection.
Thus, to the pain, your love will kill,
I want to live without grieving.

My dream will come true
as I take you to the altar, lady;
then you will be for me
the owner of my great love.
And united in love, both of us,
no one will ever separate us,
and the veil of the nightfall
your love will light;
the sorrows my poor heart
suffered yesterday
they left when I found you
on the blue night at your balcony.
Loved one of my ideal dream,
I raise to you my song of love,
songs that for you my musical soul stitched.

Ilusión de mi vida is a Tango written by Nolo López and composed by Feliciano Brunelli.

Story behind the Tango Ilusión de mi vida

The lyrics of “Ilusión de mi vida” unfold as a passionate declaration of love, where the speaker addresses his beloved, inviting her to listen to his song filled with love and commitment. The setting seems almost theatrically romantic, with the man serenading beneath a balcony, reminiscent of classic romantic pursuits. The song expresses deep longing and a fervent hope for mutual affection, culminating in a dream of marriage and a shared life, free from the sorrows of the past.

Symbolism of Ilusión de mi vida

The recurring theme of “Ilusión de mi vida” translates to “Illusion of my life,” suggesting a powerful yet possibly elusive dream that the protagonist cherishes. This illusion is symbolized further through the imagery of nighttime serenades, a traditional act of courtship that here symbolizes both hope and vulnerability. Phrases like “yo te soñé, mi dulce bien,” which translates to “I dreamed of you, my sweet good,” and “las penas que sufriera ayer… se fueron cuando te encontré,” meaning “the sorrows that I suffered yesterday… went away when I found you,” signify a transition from solitude to fulfillment, emphasizing the transformative power of love.

Ilusión de mi vida in historic Context

Recorded in 1965, a period marked by social and cultural transformation in Argentina, “Ilusión de mi vida” resonates with the themes of nostalgia and eternal love which contrast with the evolving landscape of that era. During this time, Argentinian society was experiencing significant changes, with a push towards modernization that often conflicted with traditional values. In this context, the tango serves as a reminder of enduring human emotions, bridging the gap between old and new values and celebrating the timeless appeal of romantic devotion.
