Letra del Tango Marión

En la evocación

vuelve a soñar

mi corazón,

y el sueño eres tú, Marión…

Amor de mi juventud

que no se olvida.

Amor que llena de luz

toda mi vida.

Sombras del ayer,

con su tristeza de canción

siempre me dirán: Marión…



Marión,

sé que a tu lado fui feliz

cuando te di mi corazón

en el viejo París.

Recuerdo

la angustia del adiós

y el cielo

llorando por los dos…

Marión,

amor lejano que dejé,

quiero que sepas, corazón,

que jamás te olvidé.



Sueño de París

que se enredó con la emoción

de tu amor sin fin, Marión…

Hoy sólo queda el albor

de tu fragancia

y el perfumado rumor

de la distancia.

Sombras del ayer,

con tono gris de evocación

siempre me dirán: Marión.

English lyrics of the Tango "Marión"

In this memory,

my heart dreams again,

and the dream is you, Marion…

Love of my youth,

never forgotten.

Love that fills my life

with light.

Shadows of the past,

with their sorrowful songs,

always tell me: Marion…

Marion,

I know I was happy by your side,

when I gave you my heart

in old Paris.

I remember

the anguish of our goodbye

and the sky

crying for us both…

Marion,

distant love I left behind,

I want you to know, my dear,

I never forgot you.

Dream of Paris

intertwined with the thrill

of your endless love, Marion…

Now, only the dawn

of your fragrance remains,

and the perfumed murmur

of distance.

Shadows of the past,

with their gray hues of remembrance,

always tell me: Marion.

Story behind the Tango Marión

“Marión” evokes deep-seated feelings of nostalgia and persistent longing, primarily framed through the reminiscence of a youthful love. The lyricist takes us on a journey back in time, focusing on the visceral emotions of an indelible romance experienced in the enchanting city of Paris. This narrative is constructed through the persistent memories and the emotional weight carried even after years, emphasizing both the beauty and pain of such enduring affection.



Symbolism of Marión

The repeated invocation of the name “Marión” becomes a poignant symbol throughout the tango, representing more than just a person but rather an era of intense emotion and youthful passion that has since passed. The symbolic use of “shadows of yesterday” and the “perfumed rumor of distance” further enrich the narrative, portraying memories as haunting yet sweet perfumes that linger, unable to be reclaimed but continuously impacting the present. Such language choices elevate the theme of nostalgia while imbuing the piece with a wistful, almost ethereal quality.



Marión in Historic Context

The tango was recorded in 1943, a period marked by global turmoil amid World War II. In Argentina, this era was also a time of significant cultural blossoming, particularly for the tango, which often served as an emotional escape and a means of expressing deeply felt passions and sorrows. The narrative of parting and a love left in “old Paris” can be interpreted against this backdrop of upheaval and displacement, which may resonate with many listeners’ experiences of separation and loss during such tumultuous times.



Luis Rubistein

Luis Rubistein was an influential figure in the tango scene known for both composing and writing evocative pieces that capture the essence of the genre’s emotional depth.
