Letra del Tango Inspiración

Por la senda del dolor
cruzaron en bandadas los recuerdos del ayer
trayendo en pos
aquel querer
donde quemé
la dulce fe
de mi ilusión
hecha canción;
plegaria en flor
que ayer bordé
en el calor
del cuchitril de bohemia…
Ensueño azul
que me dejó
el sinsabor de mi anemia.
Se tronchó mi corazón
en la esperanza vana que asomara a mi balcón
y que fatal
me trajo el mal…

Recitado

Soplaron vientos de hastío en los valles de mi vida
y trajeron las cenizas de mi lírica ilusión,
hecha carne en las tinieblas de mi juventud perdida
donde murió mi bohemia con mi última canción.
Hoy, la escarcha de los años me blanquearon los cabellos
y estoy solo en la tragedia de mi triste soledad,
pero aún siento la nostalgia de sus negros ojos bellos
a pesar que no tuvieron para mí más que crueldad…

Juventud
que ya se fue
tras el vano sueño azul
de ayer…
Deshojada y mustia flor
de amor…
¡Ilusión
que mató el dolor!

English lyrics of the Tango "Inspiración "

Along the path of pain,
yesterday’s memories crossed in flocks,
bringing in their wake
that old love
where I burned
the sweet faith
of my dream
turned into song;
a blossoming prayer
I once embroidered
in the warmth
of a bohemian hovel…
Blue dream
that left me
the bitterness of my anemia.
My heart was shattered
by the vain hope that appeared on my balcony
and fatefully
brought me suffering…

Recited

Winds of ennui blew in the valleys of my life
and brought the ashes of my lyrical dream,
embodied in the darkness of my lost youth
where my bohemia died with my last song.
Now, the frost of the years has whitened my hair
and I am alone in the tragedy of my sad solitude,
but I still feel the longing for her beautiful dark eyes
although they had nothing for me but cruelty…

Youth
that has gone
after the vain blue dream
of yesterday…
A flower, withered and faded,
of love…
A dream
killed by pain!

Story behind the Tango Inspiración

The tango “Inspiración” is a deep dive into the troubled waters of the past and unfulfilled dreams. Through its lyrics, we traverse a path marked by pain and memories of lost affections. It is a journey reflecting the creator’s personal struggles, evocative of love lost, and the bitter recognition of a youthful aspiration that could never be. The lyrics suggest the melancholic reminiscence of youthful love, unattainable yet deeply missed.

Symbolism of Inspiración

“Inspiración” evokes vivid imagery and emotions through its symbolic use of elements like ‘la senda del dolor’ (the path of pain) and ‘bohemia’ (bohemian). These symbols collectively paint a picture of the author’s emotional and philosophical trials. The recurrent theme of songs and dreams turning into disillusionment represents the fragile boundary between reality and aspirations. Phrases like ‘deshojada y mustia flor de amor’ (withered, faded flower of love) powerfully convey the decline and loss of once-vibrant emotions.

Inspiración in Historic Context

Recorded in 1957 in Argentina, “Inspiración” speaks from a time when Tango was both a musical genre and a social dance deeply embedded in the cultural fabric. This period post World War II was marked by significant political and economic changes in Argentina, alongside a renaissance in tango music, where tango lyrics reflected a nostalgia and an acute observation of personal and societal conditions. This tango, therefore, can be seen as a reflective piece that uses the personal to comment on broader societal emotions.
