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,
memories of yesterday crossed in flocks,
bringing behind
that love
where I burned
the sweet faith
of my illusion
turned into song;
a blooming prayer
that I stitched
in the warmth
of a bohemian hovel…
Blue dream
that left me
the taste of my anemia.
My heart was broken
by the vain hope that appeared on my balcony
and that fatefully
brought me harm…

Recited

Winds of apathy blew through my life’s valleys
and brought the ashes of my lyrical illusion,
made flesh in the darkness of my lost youth
where my bohemia died with my last song.
Today, 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 held nothing for me but cruelty…

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

Inspiración is a Tango written by Luis Rubistein and composed by Peregrino Paulos.

Story behind the Tango Inspiración

“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.

Symbolism of Inspiración

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 in historic Context

“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.
