Jugando jugando is a Tango written by Oscar Rubens and composed by Miguel Caló.
In Jugando jugando (Playing, just playing), Oscar Rubens lyrically captures the blossoming of a romantic relationship, portrayed as spontaneous and effortless. The lyrics convey the story of two individuals whose casual and playful interactions seamlessly transform into deep affection and love. This transformation is depicted as natural and almost unexpected, emphasizing the power and simplicity of true emotional connections.
The central motif in Jugando jugando is the playful and carefree beginning of a relationship that evolves into profound love, symbolized through actions such as laughing, dreaming, and kissing. The repeated use of the word “jugando” (playing) emphasizes the spontaneity and joyfulness inherent in their growing relationship. Phrases like “Me siento tan dichoso” (I feel so fortunate) and “Qué fácil que fue” (How easy it was) highlight the effortless and natural progression of their love, suggesting that the most profound bonds can arise from simple, joyful beginnings.
Composed in 1944 by Miguel Caló with lyrics by Oscar Rubens, Jugando jugando emerged during a vibrant period in Argentine history when Tango was a pivotal part of the cultural landscape. This period was marked by a mix of uncertainty due to the global conflicts of World War II and a strong local cultural identity. The theme of finding joy and love in simple, playful interactions might have offered an emotional escape and resonated deeply with an audience living through times of global unrest. Recorded in Buenos Aires, which was a melting pot of artistic and cultural expression, this Tango encapsulates the spirit of resilience and the pursuit of happiness through love and connection.
Oscar Rubens was a prolific lyricist and playwright known for his contributions to the Argentine tango genre. His works often explore themes of love, passion, and everyday emotions.
