Letra del Tango La canción

Flor de mburucuyá,
Abre tu balcón
Para mi cantar.
Luz de mi corazón
Oye la canción
Que a tu encuentro va.
Flor de mburucuyá,
Con tu nombre azul
En mi vida estás.

En un ventanal
Así se escuchó
Sentida canción
A una mujer,
Aquel trovador
Por ella jugó
Su sueño de amor
Que tuvo y perdió.
De aquel ventanal
Caía un jazmín
Con esta canción
Tan dulce que oí,
Ahora mi bien
Yo quiero cantar
La vieja canción
Por vos y por mí.

English lyrics of the Tango "La canción"

Passionflower bloom,
open your balcony
for my serenade.
Light of my heart,
listen to the song
that seeks you out.
Passionflower bloom,
with your name in blue
you live in my life.

In a window pane,
thus was heard
a heartfelt song
to a woman,
that minstrel
for her gambled
his dream of love
which he had and lost.
From that window pane
fell a jasmine
with this song
so sweet that I heard,
and now my dear,
I want to sing
the old song
for you and for me.

Story behind the Tango La canción

“La canción” (The Song) reveals a narrative of heartfelt longing and affection framed within the symbolic imagery of the mburucuyá flower, often known as passionflower, implying deep passion and emotional intensity. The lyrics describe a singer addressing the flower as though it were the object of his affection, urging it to listen to his song, a metaphor for opening up to his feelings. The serenading element and the emotional plea highlight a lover’s desire to be heard and understood by the beloved.



Symbolism of La canción

The use of the “mburucuyá flower” serves as a powerful symbol in the tango. In various cultures, this flower is associated with passion and suffering, mirroring the pain and desire expressed in the tango itself. The mention of a “ventanal” (large window) suggests a barrier but also a means to project feelings outward, resonating with a theme of unfulfilled or distant love. Additionally, the “jazmín” (jasmine) cascading down is traditionally linked to love in literature, its sweetness amplifying the nostalgic and tender tone of the song.



La canción in historic Context

The song “La canción” was written and performed in 1961, Argentina—a time rich in cultural and artistic expression in the midst of political and social upheavals. Tango music often served as an emotional outlet and a reflection of the experiences of the common people. In this period, traditional values clashed with new modern perspectives, and the lyrics of this tango capture this transformation through the narrative of old and new passions.



Lito Bayardo

Lito Bayardo was an eminent Argentine composer and lyricist recognized for his contributions to the genre of tango, whose works often encapsulated deep emotional experiences.
