Mi vida en tus manos is a Tango written by Oscar de la Fuente and composed by Oscar de la Fuente.
The Tango “Mi vida en tus manos” which translates to “My Life in Your Hands” resonates with the deep emotional ties of trust and surrender in a relationship. The song narrates the protagonist’s renewal and profound emotional awakening sparked by the arrival of a cherished love. There’s a portrayal of revival, as new desires and a spring-like emotion take over the narrator’s existence, signifying a fresh start and the healing of past wounds. Through its lyrics, the song paints a vivid picture of vulnerability, hope, and complete devotion.
The lyrics utilize natural imagery and symbols of regeneration, such as “rumor de alas”, “emoción primaveral”, and “nueva aurora”, to represent the rejuvenating power of love. Reference to “alas” (wings) suggests a freedom and lightness brought into the narrator’s life by their lover. The “emoción primaveral” symbolizes a season typically associated with rebirth and new beginnings. “Nueva aurora” further embodies this idea of dawn and a start of a revitalized existence in the presence of the beloved. The request to protect the life given into the lover’s hands adds a layer of sacred duty and reliance, amplifying the theme of committed partnership.
Recorded in 1957, a time when Argentina was experiencing significant social and political shifts, “Mi vida en tus manos” might also subtly echo the societal urge for protection and renewal. Oscar de la Fuente, by incorporating themes of personal revival and safeguarding, not only captures individual emotional landscapes but also resonates with the broader yearnings for stability and rejuvenation during a tumultuous period in Argentine history.
Oscar de la Fuente was a notable figure in the Argentine Tango scene, providing rich contributions both as a composer and lyricist.
