Mi romance is a Tango written by Juan Bautista Gatti and composed by José Raúl Iglesias.
The tango “Mi romance” delves deep into themes of love and devotion, portraying a relationship where the narrator is profoundly affected by their partner’s presence and essence. The lyrics express a deep emotional reliance and adulation toward the partner, highlighted by phrases that speak to the soul-deep connection and the light they bring to each other’s lives.
The language of “Mi romance” richly employs symbolism to elevate the sentiment being expressed. Phrases like “tu luz en mi camino” (your light on my path) and “tu sensual amor divino” (your divine sensual love) symbolize the beloved as a guiding and divine presence, transcending ordinary affection. The repeating references to nature elements like “rayo de sol” (ray of sun) and “un mundo azul” (a blue world) connote a paradise like experience within the relationship, evoking a sense of peace and sanctity.
Recorded in Argentina in 1941, “Mi romance” emerged during a time when tango was a dominant cultural force, reflecting the emotional and social currents of Argentine society. This period was marked by global unrest, and tangos often encapsulated deep personal and collective emotions. In this geopolitical ambiance, the tango might have served as both an escape and a deep expression of personal values and emotions, here revolving around love’s power and spiritual redemption.
Juan Bautista Gatti was an influential figure in the history of tango, recognized for his heartfelt and evocative lyrics.
