Lyrics Translation of the Tango Mi promesa

This is the translation of the Tango “Mi promesa” from Spanish to English. The English lyrics of the Tango “Mi promesa” have been done with AI.

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 infused my kiss with the promise

to write a song.

With the sound of the kiss,

your love spoke a prayer.

It was like a song without words,

a whisper, your prayer.

That was the reason

that brought with your kiss, my song.

May you… sweet love,

wish for the joy that your voice brought

the emotion of us both,

to be more… so much more,

that if one day you and I are not,

the song remains.

The song that says like you, like me,

love me this way, 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

“Mi promesa” translates to “My Promise” in English, hinting at commitments made perhaps in a moment filled with emotion. The lyrics tell the romantic story of a promise made during the first kiss— the promise to write a song. This moment of intimacy birthed not just any song, but one that conveys deep love and cherished memories. The verse “Con el rumor del beso dijo tu amor un rezo,” which means “With the murmur of the kiss, your love said a prayer,” suggests that the kiss spoke volumes about their love, almost like a sacred communication.



Symbolism of Mi promesa

The song intensely uses symbolism related to speech and sound, projecting emotions verbally and sonically to depict the promise’s depth. For example, “Era como un canto sin palabras,” translates to “It was like a song without words.” This line symbolizes an unspoken but strong emotional bond that transcends verbal communication, emphasizing feelings that go beyond what words can capture. Additionally, by pledging to write a song as a counterpart to their kiss, the narrator symbolically extends this fleeting moment into eternity through music.



Mi promesa in historic Context

Recorded in 1956, a period rich in the evolution of Tango music in Argentina, “Mi promesa” reflects the typical blend of romance, nostalgia, and melancholy prevalent in Tango lyrics of the time. The year was marked by social and political changes in Argentina which often influenced themes of longing and promises in Tango music, turning everyday stories of love and promises into timeless anthems that resonated with many during periods of uncertainty.
