Letra del Tango Mi promesa

Cuando te besé la vez primera,
yo no sé por qué razón
puse en mi beso la promesa
de escribir una canción.
Con el rumor del beso
dijo tu amor un rezo.
Era como un canto sin palabras,
un susurro, tu oración.
Ese fue el motivo
que me trajo con tu beso, mi canción.

Quieras tú… dulce amor,
que la dicha que trajo en tu voz
la emoción de los dos
sea más… tanto más,
que si un día no estemos tú y yo
quedará la canción.
La canción que diga como tú, como yo,
quiéreme así corazón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Mi promesa"

When I first kissed you,
I don’t know why
I placed in my kiss the promise
to write a song.
With the murmur of the kiss
your love spoke a prayer.
It was like a song without words,
a whisper, your prayer.
That was the reason
that your kiss brought me this song.

If you would, sweet love,
let the joy that your voice brought
the emotion of us both
be more… much more,
so that if one day you and I are not here
the song will remain.
The song that says like you, like me,
love me like this, my heart.

Mi promesa by José Rótulo

Mi promesa is a Tango written by José Rótulo and composed by Alfredo De Angelis.


Story behind the Tango Mi promesa

As told through its lyrics, “Mi promesa” unfolds the narrative of a promise made during an intimate, transformative moment—the first kiss between two lovers. José Rótulo skillfully captivates the listener with the story of how this kiss incited the compulsion to create a song, a promise encapsulated not by mere words, but through a deep, emotive connection manifested in music. The lyrics describe how the whisper of this kiss, likened to a prayer or a chant, awakens a profound desire to compose a melody that would endure beyond the moments of their intimacy, preserving their feelings forever.


Symbolism of Mi promesa

The title “Mi promesa,” which translates to “My Promise” in English, harbors deep symbolism, representing both a vow and a spiritual pledge made through a kiss that transcends into a musical composition. The kiss, and the promise it contains, symbolizes a pivotal exchange of love and inspiration, turning a fleeting moment into an eternal memory through the medium of song. Phrases like “escribir una canción” (to write a song) and “La canción que diga como tú, como yo, quiéreme así corazón” (The song that says like you, like me, love me like this, my heart) underscore the transformation of personal emotions into a universal expression of love.


Mi promesa in historic Context

The creation date of 1956 plays an essential role in understanding “Mi promesa.” Post-World War II was a period marked by significant cultural shifts and a sense of rebuilding. In Argentina, Tango music often reflected themes of love, loss, and longing, serving as a collective emotional outlet. By anchoring the promise within the framework of a tango song, Rótulo not only captures the personal sentiment of the lovers but also taps into the broader emotional palette of his time, offering a piece of art that resonates with the public’s feelings of revival and sentimental remembrance.
