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 forth
that old love
where I burned
the sweet faith
of my illusion
turned into song;
a blooming prayer
that I embroidered yesterday
in the heat
of a bohemian hovel…
Blue dream
that left me
the tastelessness of my anemia.

My heart was severed
by the vain hope that appeared on my balcony
and fatefully
brought me harm…

Recitation

Winds of tedium blew through the valleys of my life
and brought the ashes of my lyrical illusion,
flesh in the darkness of my lost youth
where my bohemia died with my last song.
Today, the frost of years has whitened my hair
and I’m alone in the tragedy of my sad solitude,
but I still feel the nostalgia for her beautiful dark eyes
although they had nothing but cruelty for me…

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

Story behind the Tango Inspiración

The lyrics of “Inspiración” portray a deep, introspective journey through past memories and lost youth, characterized by a notable sense of melancholy and longing. The text guides us through personal sorrow, emerging from a backdrop of lost love. Luis Rubistein uses metaphorical language to bring life to emotions, describing how past experiences (“cruzaron en bandadas los recuerdos del ayer”) haunt the present.

Symbolism of Inspiración

The recurring theme of youthful aspirations fading into disillusionment is symbolically represented by several key phrases. “Ensueño azul” suggests unfulfilled dreams, while “de mi ilusión hecha canción” encapsulates the fusion of hope and its eventual manifestation in song, which ultimately dissolves into disappointment. The “escarcha de los años” symbolizes how time, often perceived as frost, slowly encompasses vitality and color, leading to a monochromatic existence. Each symbol enhances the emotional tenor of the Tango, highlighting desolation and rueful contemplation.

Inspiración in historic Context

Recorded in 1950, a period marked by significant political and social changes in Argentina, “Inspiración” mirrors the emotional turbulence of the era. During this time, the Argentine society was undergoing a transformation, and this restless cultural landscape could be seen influencing the themes of longing and desolation found in many artistic expressions of the time, including in the melancholic resonance of Tangos like “Inspiración.”
