Letra del Tango La canción de Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires, cuando lejos me vi

sólo hallaba consuelo

en las notas de un tango dulzón

que lloraba el bandoneón.

Buenos Aires, suspirando por ti

bajo el sol de otro cielo,

cuando lloró mi corazón

escuchando tu nostálgica canción.



Canción maleva, canción de Buenos Aires,

hay algo en tus entrañas que vive y que perdura,

canción maleva, lamento de amargura,

sonrisa de esperanza, sollozo de pasión.

Este es el tango, canción de Buenos Aires,

nacido en el suburbio, que hoy reina en todo el mundo;

este es el tango que llevo muy profundo,

clavado en lo más hondo del criollo corazón.



Buenos Aires, donde el tango nació,

tierra mía querida,

yo quisiera poderte ofrendar

toda el alma en mi cantar.

Y le pido a mi destino el favor

de que al fin de mi vida

oiga el llorar del bandoneón,

entonando tu nostálgica canción.

English lyrics of the Tango "La canción de Buenos Aires"

Buenos Aires, when I saw myself far away
I only found solace
in the notes of a sweet tango
that the bandoneon cried out.

Buenos Aires, sighing for you
under the sun of another sky,
when my heart wept
listening to your nostalgic song.

Maleva song, song of Buenos Aires,
there’s something in your core that lives and endures,
maleva song, lament of bitterness,
smile of hope, sob of passion.
This is the tango, song of Buenos Aires,
born in the suburb, that today reigns over the whole world;
this is the tango that I carry very deep,
pierced in the deepest of the Criollo heart.

Buenos Aires, where the tango was born,
my beloved land,
I would like to be able to offer you
all my soul in my singing.
And I ask my fate the favor
that at the end of my life
hear the crying of the bandoneon,
intoning your nostalgic song.

The lyrics of “La canción de Buenos Aires” reveal a deep yearning and nostalgia for the city of Buenos Aires, encapsulated by the emotive sounds of a bandoneón. The song underscores a profound emotional connection to the homeland, particularly evident in the lines expressing solace found in the “notes of a sweet tango” while being away. This notion of geographic and emotional distance introduces a heartfelt narrative where Buenos Aires represents not just a physical location, but a source of identity and comfort.

Symbolism of La canción de Buenos Aires

The tango itself becomes a metaphor for the spirit of Buenos Aires, encapsulating a blend of “smile of hope” and “sob of passion.” This duality reflects the vibrant but challenging life in the city, capturing the essence of its inhabitants’ resilient spirit. The repetitive invocation of the bandoneón as a crying entity further imbues the tango with a sentient quality, representing the soul of Buenos Aires throbbing in each note.

La canción de Buenos Aires in historic Context

Written in 1933, during a period of profound social and economic transitions in Argentina, “La canción de Buenos Aires” offers a look into the cultural importance of tango as a musical and emotional outlet. The early 20th century saw Buenos Aires transforming with European immigrations, and tango music, born in the underprivileged suburbs, emerged as a symbol of national identity. By this epoch, tango had begun to captivate audiences worldwide, suggesting the line “born in the suburbs, today reigns all over the world” as a marker of tango’s global ascendance and prevalence.
