Letra del Tango Ivón

En el silencio tembló tu voz,
tu voz herida diciendo adiós.
Después tus ojos, bajo el negro
sombrerito de castor,
lloraron nuestra separación.

Y es esta pena, mi linda Ivón,
que araña siempre mi corazón.
Mis juveniles primaveras
no podían comprender ni razonar,
mi gran error.

¡Dónde andarás, Ivón!
De calle en calle mi amor te nombra.
¡Dónde andarás, Ivón!
De barrio en barrio te busco, alondra.
Y me parece que estás huyendo de mi,
sintiendo terror de mi sombra.
¡Y con razón, Ivón!
Y yo sangrando, sin tu perdón.

Mi pecho, hoy late con emoción,
así latía, tu corazón.
Recuerdo ahora que su ritmo
parecía de reloj…
Aquella noche de nuestro adiós
y aquella noche para los dos
significaba la perdición,
alucinando de inconsciencia
tu presencia la busqué
recién después y tarde fue.

English lyrics of the Tango "Ivón"

In the silence, your voice trembled,
your wounded voice saying goodbye.
Then your eyes, beneath the black
beaver hat,
wept for our parting.

And it’s this sorrow, my lovely Ivón,
that forever claws at my heart.
My youthful springs
could not understand or reason,
my great mistake.

Where might you be, Ivón?
From street to street, my love calls your name.
Where might you be, Ivón!
From neighborhood to neighborhood, I search for you, my lark.
And it seems you are fleeing from me,
frightened by my shadow.
And rightly so, Ivón!
And I’m bleeding, without your forgiveness.

My chest, now beats with emotion,
just as your heart used to beat.
I remember now that its rhythm
was like that of a clock…
That night of our farewell
and that night meant ruin for us both,
hallucinating from unconsciousness
I sought your presence
only afterwards and it was too late.

Story behind the Tango Ivón

The lyrics of “Ivón” recount a poignant tale of love and separation. Narrated from the perspective of an individual reminiscing about a painful farewell, the song captures the emotional turmoil of leaving a loved one behind. The reference to Ivón’s voice trembling in the silence as she says goodbye, and her tearful eyes beneath her beaver hat, poignantly paints the moment of their separation. The recurring refrain, “Where are you, Ivón?” signifies a deep longing and an unending search that extends beyond physical spaces to the emotional landscapes of love and memory.



Symbolism of Ivón

The song’s symbolic use of locations and objects, such as the ‘sombrerito de castor’ (beaver hat), enhances the emotional depth. The hat is not merely a fashion item but a relic of their shared past, symbolizing the societal status and the personal style of Ivón. Ivón herself is elusive, almost bird-like as suggested by the term “alondra” (lark), representing freedom and the unattainable. The imagery of shadow and fleeing in the lyrics underscores the themes of guilt and relentless pursuit, suggesting a past wrongdoing that led to their separation.



Ivón in historic Context

Composed in 1945, “Ivón” was created in a post-World War II Argentina, a period marked by dramatic political and social changes. The tango reflects a nostalgic reflection common in the era, focusing on personal loss and existential regret. It is likely that during this period of uncertainty, themes of separation and reconciliation resonated strongly with an audience coping with the ramifications of geopolitical upheavals and changes in societal norms.
