La mañana is a Tango written by Miguel Bucino and composed by Miguel Bucino.
‘La mañana’ transports the listener to a serene, early morning scene in a tranquil household. The sun creeps shyly over a sleeping house, welcomed cheerfully by a canary, symbolizing the break of dawn and the onset of a new day. The ordinary yet charming activities of nature and the house’s inhabitants provide a vivid tableau of domestic life, awakening with gentle and reassuring normality. The lyrics depict nature and small creatures going about their routines, infusing a sense of calm and continuity against the backdrop of everyday life.
The text is rich with symbolic imagery that paints a picture of life renewing itself with the arrival of morning. The “sun shyly arriving” implies the gradual, gentle approach of dawn, indicative of hope and new beginnings. The description of the canary’s cheerful singing, the trembling wisteria, and the meticulous ant reveals a deep appreciation for the small wonders of life. The mundane actions, such as a cat washing its face and a shirt fluttering on a chair, are elevated to poetic motions encapsulating the essence of the morning’s peaceful beauty. This symbolism serves to highlight the celebration of life’s simple pleasures and the rhythm in the commonplace.
Recorded in 1945 in Argentina, ‘La mañana’ surfaces just as World War II was concluding. It is conceivable that Bucino sought to capture an essence of peace and simplicity, a stark contrast to the global turmoil of the time. By depicting a serene domestic scene, he might have intended to bring a sense of comfort and normalcy to his audience. The tango, inherently nostalgic and contemplative in nature, thus serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty and tranquility of life, even amid chaos.
Miguel Bucino was an Argentine tango lyricist known for his ability to weave vivid and evocative imagery into his compositions, capturing the essence of the ordinary and turning it into something extraordinary.
