Letra del Tango Lloran las campanas

Viven sin cesar, matando mi ansiedad
Los sones de las campanas…
Ding dong… ding dong…
Es su canción.
Cómo iba a pensar,
Que hoy al retornar
Moría mi gran amor,
Cuando por fin iba a estrecharla entre mis brazos
Se interpone este burlón… ding dong…

¡Ay, qué triste estoy, amor!
¡Ay, qué grande es mi dolor!
Hoy que al fin mi sueño se cumplía,
Que a tu lado al fin volvía
Me arrebatan tu querer. ¡No!
No, no puede ser, amor,
No, pensá, mi bien, que no,
Dile que se callen las campanas
Que no siga este burlón ding dong…

English lyrics of the Tango "Lloran las campanas"

Endlessly, without rest, tormenting my heart
The chimes of the bells ring on…
Ding dong… ding dong…
It’s their song.
Who would have thought,
That today, upon return
My great love would die,
Just as I was to embrace her in my arms
This mocking ding dong intervenes…

Oh, how sad I am, my love!
Oh, how great is my pain!
Today when finally my dream was to come true,
At last returning to your side
They steal your love away. No!
No, it cannot be, my love,
No, believe, my dear, it’s not so,
Tell the bells to fall silent
That this mocking ding dong ceases…

Story behind the Tango Lloran las campanas

The tango “Lloran las campanas” speaks of an intense encounter with loss and longing. At the heart of the song is the portrayal of a person who has returned to reunite with their beloved, only to be met with the devastating news of their passing.

This provides a poignant depiction of love thwarted by unforeseen tragedy, weaving a tale of heartbreak against the unavoidable passage of time.

Symbolism of Lloran las campanas

The symbol of the “ding dong” bells is central, representing both the passage of time and the barrier between life and death. The repetitive chime can signify the constant reminders of loss, while also adding a ritualistic, almost ironic underscore to the events unfolding. The bells create an auditory motif of mocking fate, intensifying the emotional turmoil felt by the protagonist. Phrases like “¡Ay, qué grande es mi dolor!” reinforce the deep sorrow, amplifying the profound desperation and disbelief as the protagonist grapples with the harshness of reality.
