Letra del Tango Mi diosa

Feliz la tarde que te hallé
en mi camino de vida cual visión,
allí, mi amada, aporté
a tu belleza mi amante corazón.
Mi bien, jamás comprenderás
cómo tu imagen quedó grabada en mí
y al mirarte pasar pensé, nunca más
podré olvidarme de ti.

Horas de ventura contigo he soñado
y mayor placer, mi bien, no habrá,
que contemplarte entre mis brazos
y entre tus brazos siempre soñar enamorado
mi diosa, no podré tu cariño olvidar,
seré el amante girasol,
tú el astro que mi vida has de guiar
y yo dulce flor que sigue a tu sol.

Amar, mi diosa, siempre amar
qué hermoso ensueño llevarlo hasta morir,
besar tu boca y aspirar
de entre tus labios la dicha de vivir.
Tu voz amante escuchar
suave, velada por tierna emoción
y en tu dulce mirar
poder contemplar la dicha de esta pasión.

English lyrics of the Tango "Mi diosa"

Happy the afternoon I found you
on my life’s path like a vision,
there, my beloved, I brought
to your beauty my loving heart.
My dear, you’ll never understand
how your image was etched in me,
and watching you pass by, I thought, never again
will I be able to forget you.

Hours of joy with you, I’ve dreamed
and greater pleasure, my dear, there will not be,
than holding you in my arms
and always dreaming in love in your embrace,
my goddess, I can’t forget your affection,
I’ll be the loving sunflower,
you the star that must guide my life,
and I, the sweet flower that follows your sun.

To love, my goddess, always to love
what a beautiful dream to carry until death,
to kiss your lips and breathe
from between your lips the joy of living.
To hear your loving voice
soft, veiled by tender emotion
and in your sweet gaze
to be able to contemplate the bliss of this passion.

Story behind the Tango Mi diosa

“Mi diosa,” which translates to “My Goddess” in English, is a poetic expression of profound adoration and romantic devotion. At its core, the song portrays a serendipitous encounter that deepens into a lifelong passion. José De Grandis crafts his lyrics to capture an intense moment of revelation, where the singer meets ‘his goddess’ and is irreversibly enchanted. This euphoric encounter is described as a transformative episode, marking a permanent emotional imprint on the singer’s heart.



Symbolism of Mi diosa

The tango is infused with rich symbolism that accentuates the theme of divine love. For instance, the goddess is not just a metaphor for a beloved woman but portrays her as a celestial beacon guiding the singer’s life. The comparison of the singer to a “sunflower” (girasol) and the beloved as the “sun” underscores a natural, gravitation towards her light, indicating a natural, intrinsic pull towards the beloved, symbolizing unconditional and guiding love. The dreamy vision of being eternally in love (“qué hermoso ensueño llevarlo hasta morir”) illustrates a blissful yearning to maintain the purity of this near-celestial love throughout life.



Mi diosa in historic Context

Written and recorded in 1981 in Argentina, “Mi diosa” arrives at a time when Argentina was navigating through profound political and social changes. In the context of such turmoil, tango often served as a cultural outlet for expressing more personal, intimate emotions and dynamics, contrasting sharply with the prevailing socio-political chaos. This song might have offered listeners an escapism into personal joy and romance, a stark contrast to the harsher realities outside, linking personal emotional experiences with broader collective narratives.
