Letra del Tango Independencia

Independencia que pusiste paz
en esta tierra que nací
los argentinos recordarán
aquella fecha de libertad.
Un 25 puso luz y amor
en esas almas que soñaban
los corazones ansiosos palpitaban
llenos de entusiasmoy pasión.

Patria de valientes, patria noble
de bandera azul y blanca
Patria de jilgueros y emociones
que desde entonces te quiero más.
En tu independencia se forjaron
los ideales más sublimes
en este suelo tan divino
soy feliz siendo argentino
es mi patria lo mejor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Independencia"

Independence, you brought peace
to this land where I was born
Argentinians will remember
that date of liberty.
A 25th brought light and love
to those souls that dreamed
anxious hearts were throbbing
full of enthusiasm and passion.

Homeland of the brave, noble homeland
with a flag blue and white
Homeland of singing birds and emotions
ever since, I love you more.
In your independence were forged
the most sublime ideals
on this divine soil
I am happy being Argentine
it’s my homeland, the best.

Story behind the Tango Independencia

The tango “Independencia,” written amidst the throes of the Second World War, reflects a profound sense of national identity and pride. The lyrics by Angel Timarni celebrate Argentina’s day of independence, relaying a narrative of peace, liberty, and patriotic fervor that took hold on the 25th of a historically significant month, likely July, Argentina’s Independence Day. The piece serves as a homage to the nation, expressing deep affection and pride in the Argentine heritage and landscape.

Symbolism of Independencia

The tango is rich in symbolism, primarily focused around concepts of light, love, and valor. Phrases like “Un 25 puso luz y amor” (A 25th brought light and love) symbolize the enlightenment and passion sparked by Argentina’s independence. The use of “bandera azul y blanca” (blue and white flag) stands as a proud emblem of Argentina, while “Patria de jilgueros y emociones” (Homeland of finches and emotions) captures the beauty of Argentine wildlife and the intense feelings of its people. This symbolism intensively binds the listeners’ emotions to the sanctity and beauty of the Argentine nation.

Independencia in historic Context

Recorded in 1942, during a globally tumultuous period marked by WWII, “Independencia” resonates as an anthem of national solidarity and identity. It reflects the Argentine spirit of resilience and sovereign pride during a time when many nations were ensnared in conflict and identity crises. This historical backdrop amplifies the tango’s call for remembrance and celebration of Argentine sovereignty and cultural unity, reminding citizens of their shared heritage and ideals even in challenging times.
