Letra del Tango Mi serenata

Niña de mi corazón
brindarte quiero un cantar
que sea el reflejo fiel
de cariño sin par,
niña de mi ilusión.

A tu reja llegué
una estrella guiñó
y aquel día forjé
mi primera ilusión.
Serenata que allí
para ti improvisó mi amor,
tu promesa de amor,
tu mirada, un clavel,
dieron premio a mi canción.

Hoy que ya el tiempo pasó,
vine a tu reja a cantar,
silencio fue el responder
a este triste dolor
que tu ausencia dejó.

English lyrics of the Tango "Mi serenata"

Girl of my heart,
I want to offer you a song,
let it be a true reflection
of unmatched affection,
girl of my dreams.

I arrived at your window,
a star winked,
and that day I forged
my first illusion.
A serenade that there
for you my love improvised,
your promise of love,
your glance, a carnation,
rewarded my song.

Now that time has passed,
I’ve come to your window to sing,
silence was the response
to this sad pain
that your absence left.

Story behind the Tango Mi serenata

The song “Mi serenata” translates to “My Serenade” in English, suggesting a deeply personal and romantic expression. It portrays a scene where a young man serenades the woman he loves, reflecting a tradition of courtship deeply embedded in many cultures, particularly in Latin America. The lyrics express a heartfelt yearning and the bittersweet passage of time, emphasizing emotions felt in youth and reflecting on them in later years.



Symbolism of Mi serenata

“Niña de mi corazón” (Girl of my heart) and “niña de mi ilusión” (girl of my dreams) set the tone, symbolizing an idealized love. The serenade, a traditional romantic gesture, reinforces this idealization. Key phrases such as “una estrella guiñó” (a star winked) imbue the lyrics with a magical, hopeful quality, suggesting that the universe itself supports his love. The reference to “tu mirada, un clavel” (your look, a carnation) uses the carnation as a symbol of love and admiration, enhancing the romantic imagery of the tango.



Mi serenata in historic Context

Recorded in 1940 in Argentina, “Mi serenata” arises during a vibrant period in Argentine history when tango was a powerful cultural expression reflecting the nuances of everyday life and emotions. This era, shortly before the rise of Juan Perón, was marked by a mix of traditional values and modern influences, as seen in the revival of the serenade tradition within the context of contemporary tango. The song’s themes of love, nostalgia, and the passage of time mirror the societal transitions of the era.
