Letra del Tango Mi corazón es un violín

Se convierte en un violín

Mi embrujado corazón,

Y no deja de vibrar

Bajo el arco de tu amor.

Suena, a veces, tan vivaz

Que hay locura en su canción,

Y otras veces, el compás

Es de gris melancolía.



Se llena, en la penumbra

Mi corazón de ti,

Tu música es un sueño

Que vibra para mí.

Tus dedos acarician

Y mi deseo es tal,

Que llegan a embriagarme

En el acorde del final.



Y es, por tanta seducción

Un violín, mi corazón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Mi corazón es un violín"

It turns into a violin,
My enchanted heart,
And does not stop vibrating
Beneath the bow of your love.

It sounds, at times, so lively
That there is madness in its song,
And at other times, the beat
Is of grey melancholy.

In the twilight,
My heart fills with you,
Your music is a dream
That vibrates for me.

Your fingers caress
And my desire is such,
That they come to intoxicate me
In the chord of the end.

And it is, through such seduction,
A violin, my heart.

Story behind the Tango Mi corazón es un violín

“Mi corazón es un violín” directly translates to “My heart is a violin” in English, suggesting a deeply poetic metaphor of the heart acting as an instrument played by the touch of love. The lyrics describe a heart enchanted and stirred into continuous vibration by the “bow of your love.” The song portrays various emotional states from exuberance, represented by a lively tune, to deep melancholy, captured through a slower, sorrowful rhythm. This fluctuation suggests the dynamic and powerful impacts love has on one’s emotional spectrum.


Symbolism of Mi corazón es un violín

The primary symbols in this song are the violin, representing the heart, and its music, reflecting the range of emotional experiences stimulated by love. The phrase “Bajo el arco de tu amor,” which means “under the bow of your love,” symbolizes love’s capability to play the heart like a musical instrument, evoking a variety of tunes depending on its intensity and nature. The reference to the final chord causing intoxication encapsulates the overwhelming power and sometimes consuming nature of love.


Mi corazón es un violín in historic Context

Recorded in 1956, this tango emerges from a post-war Argentina, a nation reviving its cultural identity and expressions through music and dance. During this period, tangos often reflected deep emotional narratives and were instrumental in exploring themes of desire, melancholy, and passion—elements vividly present in this song. The imagery of light and shadows (“en la penumbra”) may also metaphorically reflect the socio-economic contrasts of the era.
