Letra del Milonga La mañana

Llega el sol tímidamente
Sobre la casa dormida,
Y le da la bienvenida
Un canario, alegremente.
Se estremecen levemente
Las glicinas azuladas,
Mientras se lava la cara
Un gato, tranquilamente.

Carga una hormiga a estribor
Un palito de la parra,
Y otra que vuelve se para
Para infundirle valor.
Lima un grillo aburridor
Escondido en la rejilla,
Y en el asta de una silla
Flamea un repasador.

En la casa, todavía
No hay mucha gente despierta,
Mas llega de la pileta
Una dulce melodía.
Canta el agua su alegría
En la ropa enjabonada,
Y sobre ella, encorvada
Se encuentra doña María.

English lyrics of the Milonga "La mañana"

The sun arrives timidly
Over the sleeping house,
And is welcomed
By a canary, cheerfully.
The wisterias sway slightly,
Blue-tinted in their grace,
While a cat serenely
Washes its face.

On the starboard, an ant hauls
A tiny stick from the vine,
And another, returning, stops
To bolster its spine.
A cricket drones,
Hidden within the grate,
And on the handle of a chair
A dishcloth billows in state.

Inside the house, still
Not many are awake,
Yet from the pool a
Sweet melody does break.
The water sings its joy
Upon the soaped clothes hefty,
And over them, bent low
Is found Mrs. Maria.

Story behind the Tango La mañana

“La mañana” (The Morning) lyrically captures a serene and bustling dawn in a rustic setting. The song meticulously describes the awakening of nature and human life at the break of day. It begins with the sun shyly appearing over a sleeping house and a cheerful canary welcoming the day. These opening lines set a peaceful, hopeful tone, reflecting the gentle start of a new day. The imagery of a cat washing its face and ants working diligently adds a layer of daily routine and industriousness, highlighting the natural order and rhythm of life.



Symbolism of La mañana

Miguel Bucino effectively uses symbolism to enrich the imagery in “La mañana”. The timid sunlight represents new opportunities and the start of a fresh day, while the canary’s song symbolizes joy and vivacity. The intricate details of ants sharing strength and a cricket hidden but still audible, symbolize community and the often unnoticed background players in life’s daily theater. The fluttering dish towel on a chair’s back in the kitchen paints a relatable picture of domestic life, suggesting movement and human activity without direct depiction.



La mañana in historical Context

Created in 1944, during a period of significant political and social changes in Argentina, “La mañana” might be seen as an escape or a soothing reminder of simpler, peaceful daily life not infiltrated by the outside world’s chaos. The specific choice of focusing on ordinary scenes might have offered listeners a familiar comfort and a connection to the normalcy of everyday life in their community, amid the uncertainty of world events during that time.
