Letra del Vals Mi ambición

Yo ambicionaba un paraíso para ti,

tú eres un ángel que merece estar ahí,

yo ambicionaba una gran gloria entre los dos

para vivir eternamente nuestro amor.

Te llevaré a un rinconcito muy lejano

donde no llegue ni la sombra de un dolor.

Hay en la selva del confín pampeano

donde tiene su trono el ruiseñor.



Vuela, gentil mariposa,

que alegre juegas de flor en flor,

libando de entre las rosas,

la esencia de nuestro amor.

Vuela gentil portadora,

de mi sentida canción

en busca de nueva aurora

que mitigue mi dolor…



Y jamás quisiera que la gloria de mi sueño,

no la tuviera jamás ningún bendito;

una mujer que en su mirar risueño

lleva en sí, la placidez del infinito.

Y en este nido de belleza y primores,

te adoraré con el fervor de mi ilusión,

como se adoran en sus nidos seductores,

los zorzales, las alondras y el gorrión…

English lyrics of the Vals "Mi ambición"

I longed for a paradise for you,
For you are an angel who deserves to be there,
I dreamed of a shared grandeur, just us two,
To live our love eternally in its lair.

I will take you to a secluded little corner,
Where not even the shadow of pain can reach.
Deep in the jungle of the remote Pampas,
Where the nightingale has its throne, I’ll teach.

Fly, gentle butterfly,
Joyfully flitting from bloom to bloom,
Sipping from the roses on the fly,
The essence of our love’s perfume.

Fly gentle bearer,
Of my heartfelt song,
In search of a new dawn rarer,
That eases my pain prolonged…

And I’d never want the glory of my dream,
To be graced by none so blessed;
A woman whose cheerful gaze does gleam,
With the tranquility of the infinite expressed.

And in this nest of beauty and delights,
With the passion of my dreams, I’ll adore,
As in their enticing nests throughout the nights,
The thrush, the larks, and the sparrows soar…

Mi ambición by Cristino Tapia

Mi ambición is a Tango written and composed by Cristino Tapia.



Story behind the Tango Mi ambición

“Mi ambición” is a poem that conjures images of a paradise imagined for a beloved, depicting a sanctified and immaculate ideal where pain does not reach and love eternally resides. Tapia speaks of a ‘rinconcito’—a little corner of the world in the far reaches of the Pampas, where the pain of the everyday does not exist, under the rule of the nightingale, suggesting a setting of natural beauty and serenity. This place symbolizes his desire to shield and isolate his love from the afflictions of the world.



Symbolism of Mi ambición

The lyrics of “Mi ambición” heavily feature nature imagery, which serves to not only paint a picture of serene and untouched sanctuary but also symbolize purity and a return to idealistic beginnings. The song’s references to the nightingale, butterflies, larks, and sparrows allude to freedom and the simple joys of life. The repetition of “vuela” (fly) to the gentle butterfly, carrying messages of love, underscores the theme of wishing to escape to a pain-free, love-filled existence. The “nuevo aurora” or new dawn reflects a longing for renewal or recovery from pain.



Mi ambición in Historic Context

Recorded in 1927, “Mi ambición” reflects a period of artistic flourishing in Argentina known as the Golden Age of Tango. The lyrics encapsulate a prevalent yearning for utopias, perhaps reflecting societal desires for escape from the socio-political climates of the era. The mention of “la selva del confín pampeano” places the narrative within a specific Argentine context, invoking images of the vast, remote landscapes of the Pampas which are emblematic of the nation’s identity.
