Inspiración is a Tango written by Luis Rubistein and composed by Peregrino Paulos.
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.
“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.
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.
Luis Rubistein was an illustrious lyricist in the tango scene, known for his evocative and poignant compositions.
