Letra del Vals Mi Angelina

Por tu querer daría yo mi Angelina

Un edén de amor, mi bien

Y junto a ti, yo viviré, mujer hermosa

Dulces besos de pasión



Pero llevó el vendaval de la amargura

La fantasía que forjara el edén

Mi Angelina, quiero yo rehacer el sueño

Pues mi cariño, sin tu ternura, morirá

English lyrics of the Vals "Mi Angelina"

For your love, my dear Angelina,

I’d give an Edén of love, my dear.

And by your side, I’d live, beautiful woman,

Sweet kisses of passion.

But the whirlwind of bitterness carried away

The fantasy that built the Edén.

My Angelina, I want to rebuild the dream,

For my affection, without your tenderness, will die.

Mi Angelina by Francisco Bohigas

Mi Angelina is a Tango written by Francisco Bohigas and composed by Mabel Wayne.



Story behind the Tango Mi Angelina

“Mi Angelina” translated to “My Angelina” in English, is a heartfelt expression of deep affection and longing. In these lyrics, the author expresses a desire to create a paradise, an “eden of love,” solely driven by his love for Angelina. This paradise evokes images of bliss and a life dedicated to love, highlighting the intense devotion the speaker has for Angelina. However, the dream is shattered by a “gale of bitterness,” suggesting a tumultuous turn in their relationship, possibly a heartbreak or a significant obstacle that has befallen them. The speaker’s yearning to rebuild this dream emphasizes a sense of loss yet an undying hope and love towards Angelina.



Symbolism of Mi Angelina

The use of the word “edén” symbolizes a perfect utopian state of love that the speaker wishes to offer to Angelina, which symbolizes not just geographical beauty but also an emotional state of harmony and peace. “Vendaval de la amargura”, or “gale of bitterness,” dramatically shifts the narrative, symbolizing perhaps life’s unpredictable and often harsh blows which can disrupt even the most beautiful relationships. The phrase “rehacer el sueño” or “to rebuild the dream” captures the resilience and the depth of the speaker’s commitment to Angelina, suggesting not only nostalgia but a hopeful future.



Mi Angelina in historical context

The Tango was recorded in 1929, a significant year marking the global impact of the Great Depression. This historical context may subtly seep into the themes of the song. While it primarily focuses on personal love and loss, the metaphors of battling through ‘a gale of bitterness’ and striving to rebuild a broken dream can also reflect the broader societal struggles and the collective yearning for better times amidst economic hardships faced by many during that era.
