Inspiración is a Tango written by Luis Rubistein and composed by Peregrino Paulos.
“Inspiración” captures the deeply personal and painful reflections of an artist grappling with lost love and faded dreams. Luis Rubistein weaves a narrative of nostalgia and despair through the imagery of journeying through the path of suffering, accompanied by memories of what once was. The lyrics portray the artist’s internal battle as he comes to terms with his heartbreak and the disillusionment that follows.
The song is replete with poignant symbolism that conveys the depth of the protagonist’s emotions. Phrases such as “Por la senda del dolor” (Through the path of pain) and “Deshojada y mustia flor de amor” (Withered and faded flower of love) depict the trajectory from vibrant love to withering sorrow. Also, the repeated references to dreams and illusions “vano sueño azul de ayer” (vain blue dream of yesterday) symbolize the elusive and transient nature of his past aspirations and desires. The imagery of “escarcha de los años” (frost of the years) suggests the cold passing of time that has marked his hair with age, emphasizing the permanence of his emotional scars.
“Inspiración” was composed during a tumultuous period in 1943. This era was marked by significant political and social upheavals in Argentina. The nostalgic and somber tone of the lyrics reflect a common sentiment experienced by many during this era of uncertainty. The tango, a deeply emotional and traditionally Argentine genre, serves as the perfect vehicle to express the collective sentiment of disillusionment and introspection that characterized the period.
Luis Rubistein was an Argentine lyricist known for his contributions to the tango genre, weaving complex emotional narratives into his works.
