Levanta tu corazón is a Tango written by Venancio Clauso and composed by Venancio Clauso.
Levanta tu corazón” is a profound invocation to overcome despair and find rejuvenation through simple, earthly connections and expressions of the soul. The lyrics urge an individual not to allow their soul to be conquered by suffering but to find new reasons for living and singing amidst pain. As Venancio Clauso uses vivid imagery, like the furrow, the plow, the pampas, and the mountains, he echoes the connection to nature as a source of joy and revival.
The central themes of resilience and rebirth are depicted through various symbols. For instance, the mention of “el surco, el arado” (the furrow, the plow) and “la pampa, la sierra” (the pampas, the mountains) symbolizes the agrarian and natural ethos of the Argentine landscape, suggesting that joy can be found in the natural progressions of life. The metaphor of humans as “rivers that go towards the sea” encapsulates the journey of life flowing inevitably towards its broader destination, the sea, which can signify completion or merging with a larger existence.
The Tango, recorded on April 17, 1946, mirrors the post-war sentiment of rebuilding and healing. Argentina, though geographically distant from the primary conflicts of World War II, was not immune to its economic and social impacts. The lyrics resonate with a universal message of overcoming disillusionment and anguish by fostering a deep connection with life’s foundational pleasures — nature, music, and hopeful persistence.
Venancio Clauso was a poet and composer influential in the genre of Tango, capturing the spirit of Argentine culture and emotion through his lyrical narratives.
