Letra del Tango La cancion 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 cancion de Buenos Aires"

Buenos Aires, when far away I saw myself
I only found comfort
in the notes of a sweet tango
that the bandoneon wept.
Buenos Aires, sighing for you
under the sun of another sky,
when my heart cried
listening to your nostalgic song.

Maleva song, song of Buenos Aires,
there is something in your depths 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 now reigns all over the world;
this is the tango that I carry very deep,
stuck in the deepest core of the Creole 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 as a favor from my destiny
that at the end of my life
I hear the crying of the bandoneon,
playing your nostalgic song.

Story behind the Tango La canción de Buenos Aires

The lyrics of “La canción de Buenos Aires” express a deep nostalgia and longing for the city of Buenos Aires. The speaker recalls being far from home and finding solace only in the melodies of a heartfelt tango played by a bandoneón.

La canción de Buenos Aires in historic Context

The mention of Buenos Aires as the birthplace of tango, “donde el tango nació,” not only emphasizes the city’s cultural contributions but also evokes pride in a national identity recovering from years of political strife.
