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"

On the path of pain,

Yesterday’s memories crossed in flocks,

Bringing forward,

That old love,

Where I burned,

The sweet faith

Of my illusion,

turned into song;

A prayer in bloom,

That yesterday I embroidered,

In the warmth,

Of the bohemian hovel…

Blue dream,

That left me,

The bitter taste of my anemia.

My heart was shattered,

On the vain hope that appeared on my balcony,

And fatally,

Brought me harm…

Recited

Winds of weariness 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 bohemia died with my last song.

Now, 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 nostalgia for her beautiful dark eyes,

Even though they held nothing for me but cruelty…

Youth,

That has gone,

Chasing the futile blue dream

Of yesterday…

A faded and withered flower

Of love…

Illusion,

Killed by pain!

Inspiración by Luis Rubistein

Story behind the Tango Inspiración

The lyrics of “Inspiración” explore the depths of past love and the agony of lost youth, embroidered with recollections that carry the scars and sweetness of former dreams. Luis Rubistein crafts a narrative that revolves around nostalgia, melancholy, and the bittersweet realization of the passing of time. The protagonist reflects on the pain that love brought into his life, symbolized through the overarching metaphor of a journey marked by sadness and emotional desolation.



Symbolism of Inspiración

“Inspiración” leverages powerful imagery and metaphors to express heartache and lamentation. Phrases like “Por la senda del dolor” (On the path of pain) and “ensueño azul” (blue dream) symbolize a life tinged with depression and unfulfilled desires. “Juventud que ya se fue” (Youth that has gone) and “deshojada y mustia flor de amor” (withered and faded flower of love) illustrate the evanescence of youth and love, portraying life’s impermanence and the fragility of hope. Rubistein’s use of “recitado” emphasizes the voice of the narrator, sharing a more personal, almost confession-like, retrospective on his life’s sorrowful moments.



Inspiración in historic Context

“Inspiración” was composed during the late 20th century in Argentina, a period rich with cultural transformations but also marked by political and economic turmoil. The introspection and nostalgic longing in the tango could be reflective of the societal yearning for better times amid the era’s challenges. The specific mention of life in a “cuchitril de bohemia” (bohemian hovel) could suggest a life amidst the lower socio-economic strata or perhaps a lifestyle choice away from mainstream societal norms, characteristic of bohemian communities during that era.



Luis Rubistein

Luis Rubistein was an Argentine lyricist known for his moving and evocative tangos that often explored themes of love, pain, and nostalgia.
