Letra del Vals La sonrisa de mamá

Hay algo más sublime que todo lo sublime,

más suave que el arrullo, más bello que la flor.

Hay algo que de todas las culpas me redime

poniendo en mi existencia su amante bendición.

Es algo con sutiles ternuras de caricias,

con magias de esperanza, de paz y de bondad.

Y ese algo esta en el gesto que pinta la sonrisa

serena y siempre dulce, sonrisa de mamá.



Sonrisa milagrosa, que es bálsamo en la vida,

lo mismo en horas buenas que en las de adversidad.

A veces empañada por la melancolía,

mas siempre bondadosa, amante y maternal.

Compendio santo y bueno de toda la armonía,

de todos los encantos, de toda la emoción,

de toda la ternura que el alma nunca olvida,

porque es la milagrosa sonrisa de mamá.



Cuando me siento triste, por cosas de la vida,

y el torvo desaliento me ronda el corazón,

pensando en el milagro de amor de tu sonrisa

se me hace, madrecita, más bueno mi dolor.

Milagro inigualable de inspiración divina

que, al darme tu sonrisa, me dio su don mejor,

sonríe como siempre, sonríe madre mía,

con tu sonrisa dulce que es paz y bendición.

English lyrics of the Vals "La sonrisa de mamá"

There’s something more sublime than all that’s sublime,

softer than a lull, more beautiful than a flower.

There is something that redeems me from all faults

by placing its loving blessing on my existence.

It is something with subtle caresses of tenderness,

with magics of hope, peace, and goodness.

And that something is in the gesture that paints the smile

serene and always sweet, the smile of mom.

Miraculous smile, that is balm in life,

the same in good times as in adversity.

Sometimes clouded by melancholy,

but always kind, loving, and maternal.

Holy and good summary of all harmony,

of all charms, of all emotion,

of all the tenderness that the soul never forgets,

because it is the miraculous smile of mom.

When I feel sad, by things of life,

and grim discouragement circles my heart,

thinking of the miracle of love of your smile

makes my pain feel kinder, dear mother.

Unmatched miracle of divine inspiration

that, by giving me your smile, gave me its best gift,

smile as always, smile my mother,

with your sweet smile that is peace and blessing.

La sonrisa de mamá by Carlos Bahr

La sonrisa de mamá is a Tango written by Carlos Bahr and composed by Fulvio Salamanca y Juan D’Arienzo.

Story behind the Tango La sonrisa de mamá

The song, “La sonrisa de mamá” (The Smile of Mother), delves into the profound emotional significance of a mother’s smile. It paints a picture of this smile as not only a source of comfort during hard times but also an epitome of unconditional love and goodness. Bahr vividly captures the nurturing and healing nature of a mother’s love, elevating it to something even more sublime than the most beautiful and gentle things known to man.

Symbolism of La sonrisa de mamá

In his lyrics, Carlos Bahr uses rich symbolism and poignant language to enhance the emotional depth of the song. He describes the mother’s smile as “más suave que el arrullo, más bello que la flor,” meaning “softer than a lullaby, more beautiful than a flower.” This comparison not only highlights the gentle and beautiful nature of the smile but also symbolizes its essential role in human emotional life. Additionally, the phrase “Es algo con sutiles ternuras de caricias,” which translates to “It holds subtle tenderness of caresses,” reinforces this by attributing a tactile, almost magical quality to the smile, linking it to sensations of comfort and protection.

La sonrisa de mamá in historic Context

Released in 1954, Argentina was in a period marked by political instability and social unrest. During such a time, a song that reminisces about the comforting and unchanging love of a mother could resonate deeply with the audience, providing them emotional solace and a reminder of familial bonds. The enduring smile of a mother, as depicted in the song, would serve as a beacon of hope and stability amidst the surrounding chaos.
