Letra del Vals Lo mismo que ayer

Ha muerto en el silencio
Igual que muere un eco,
Lo mismo que un murmullo
Tu amor ya se apagó.
Durmiéronse los cisnes
De blancas ilusiones,
Y en un lago de olvido
Naufraga el corazón.

Quizás ha sido un sueño
Temblando en el pasado,
Mi vida por tu ausencia
Parece contemplar.
Pupilas donde un día
Tu amor se ha reflejado,
Y buscan los caminos
Que no han de retornar.

Tu recuerdo está
En mi vida sin fe,
Y al golpear y golpear
Va diciendo: “Se fue”.
Yo no sé dónde estás,
Y tú nunca sabrás
Cuánto, cuánto te amé.
Y el pasado, hecho sombras,
Te nombra y te nombra
Lo mismo que ayer.

English lyrics of the Vals "Lo mismo que ayer"

It has died in silence
Just like an echo fades,
Just like a murmur
Your love has extinguished.
The swans of white illusions
Have fallen asleep,
And in a lake of oblivion
The heart shipwrecks.

Perhaps it was a dream
Trembling in the past,
My life by your absence
Seems to gaze.
Pupils where one day
Your love reflected,
And they search the paths
That will never return.

Your memory remains
In my faithless life,
And with each beat and pound
It keeps saying: “She’s gone.”
I don’t know where you are,
And you will never know
How much, how much I loved you.
And the past, turned to shadows,
Names you and names you
Just like yesterday.

Story behind the Tango Lo mismo que ayer

“Lo mismo que ayer” translates to “The Same as Yesterday” in English, capturing the essence of lingering feelings and enduring memories. The lyrics poignantly express the pain of a love lost, yet still persistently present in the heart and mind of the speaker. The imagery of silence, echoes, and the metaphor of swans in a lake of forgetfulness deepens the sense of permanent loss and the quiet, yet profound heartbreak behind the facade of daily life. The song speaks directly to the sorrow of reminiscing about what once was – a common theme that resonates deeply in the genre of Tango.



Symbolism of Lo mismo que ayer

The powerful use of imagery and symbols such as the “swans of white illusions” and “a lake of forgetfulness” enriches the emotional texture of the song. Swans often symbolize purity and beauty, and in the context of “white illusions,” these swans represent the pristine, yet ultimately illusory hopes tied to the past relationship. The lake, a symbol of depth, vastness, and a repository of memories, underlines the theme of a deep emotional abyss into which the heart sinks, overwhelmed by the weight of memories. The repetitive invocation of the past through phrases like “Te nombra y te nombra lo mismo que ayer,” emphasizes the unrelenting grip of the past on the present.



Lo mismo que ayer in historic Context

“Lo mismo que ayer” was written and performed in the mid-1940s, a time when Tango was evolving not just as a dance form but as a critical artistic medium reflecting societal sentiments in Argentina. This period was marked by significant political and social changes. In such times, Tango often mirrored the public’s sense of nostalgia, loss, and longing in a rapidly changing world. The timeless theme of love and loss captured in this Tango connects personal emotions to broader cultural sentiments, making it a poignant piece during its time of release.



Juan D’Arienzo

Juan D’Arienzo was a prominent Argentine tango musician, popularly known as “El Rey del Compás” (King of the Beat). His lively rhythms revitalized the traditional Tango, bringing tremendous energy and renewed popularity to Tango music during the 1940s.
