La canción is a Tango written by Lito Bayardo and composed by Juan de Dios Filiberto.
“La canción” translates to “The Song” in English, portraying it as a melodious homage to a beloved. The lyrics reflect a heartfelt serenade to an admired woman, symbolized by the “mburucuyá”, a passion flower, which suggests deep passion and romantic fervor. The singer entreats the flower to open its balcony for his song, metaphorically asking his beloved to receive his love. This song shares the tale of a troubadour, whose love, vested in his song, resonates through a window to the soul of the woman he adores.
The repeated imagery of flowers such as “mburucuyá” and “jazmín” highlights themes of growth, beauty, and natural unfoldment, mirroring the evolution of feelings in the narrative. These floral elements interplay with emotions, with the “mburucuyá” symbolizing vibrant passion whereas “jazmín” commonly represents affection and attachment. The transition from a lively “mburucuyá” to a more tender “jazmín” falling from the window perhaps illustrates a shift from passionate beginnings to a more subdued or poignant realization of love. The phrase “Flor de mburucuyá, con tu nombre azul, en mi vida estás,” emphasizes an enduring presence and influence of the beloved in the narrator’s life.
Set in 1959 Argentina, “La canción” taps into the rich cultural milieu of traditional Argentine Tango that often encompasses themes of love, nostalgia, and longing. This era, marked by significant political and social change, could imply the song’s underlying context of loss or change, resonating with a personal or communal sense of transformation. The use of the serenade could be seen as a retention of traditional romantic gestures amidst evolving societal norms.
Lito Bayardo, an influential figure in Argentine music, was renowned for his contributions as a lyricist and composer, embedding deep emotional narratives into his works.
