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"

Upon the path of pain,
Memories of yesterday crossed in flocks,
Bringing forth
That past love
Where I burned
The sweet faith
Of my dream
Turned into song;
A blooming prayer
That I stitched
In the warmth
Of the 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, fatally,
Brought me sorrow…

Recited

Winds of tedium blew through the valleys of my life,
Bringing the ashes of my lyrical illusion,
Made flesh in the darkness of my lost youth
Where my bohemian life died with my last song.
Today, the frost of 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 but cruelty for me…

Youth
That has passed,
Chasing the vain blue dream
Of yesterday…
A withered and faded flower
Of love…
An illusion
Killed by pain!

Story behind the Tango Inspiración

“Inspiración” translates to “Inspiration” in English, capturing the essence of an artist drawing from personal pain and nostalgic memories to fuel their creative expression. The lyrics detail a journey through suffering, where past memories, symbolized as flocks crossing “the path of pain,” evoke a lost love that once was the subject of the narrator’s songs and prayers. This lost love is portrayed as a beacon of previously held dreams, now tarnished by the harsh realities of life.



Symbolism of Inspiración

The tango uses poignant symbols to communicate profound personal emotions. The “flocks” of memories suggest numerous and overwhelming thoughts that relentlessly invade the mind, while the “blazing blue dream” embodies the youthful passions that eventually faded into disenchantment. The phrase “the frost of the years whitened my hair” poetically describes the passage of time and its physical and emotional effects on the person. The lyrics richly utilize the imagery of a decaying flower, a classic symbol of lost beauty and fleeting love, to underscore the themes of aging and regret.



Inspiración in historic Context

Recorded in Argentina in 1962, “Inspiración” emerges during a pivotal decade in the nation’s history characterized by political instability and social changes. This environment could have amplified the themes of disillusionment and introspection portrayed in the song, mirroring the national sentiment. Also, the Argentine tango scene during this period was experiencing innovations that brought more introspective and complex lyrical themes into the genre, aligning with the existential motifs seen in “Inspiración.”
