Letra del Milonga Milonga de mi flor

Con revuelos de percales
las mozas la bailaron
en las floridas tardes
del viejo Montserrat.

“Venga, vea este corte”
pregonaba algún taura
al mandarse un redoble
sobre el piso de tablas.

Dedicando a la reunión
como una flor, su compadrada,
retador en la intención
de deslumbrar con sus hazañas
Lindos tiempos aquellos,
del fandango ligero
al compas de un milongón
que para mas, puede mi flor.

English lyrics of the Milonga "Milonga de mi flor"

With frills and cotton prints,
the girls danced it
on the flowery afternoons
of old Montserrat.

“Come, see this cutting,”
some tough would boast,
as he slammed a roll
on the wooden floor.

Dedicating to the gathering
like a flower, his partnership,
challenging in intent
to dazzle with his feats.
Nice times those,
of the light fandango
to the rhythm of a milonga
that moreover, can my flower.

Milonga de mi flor by Carlos Bahr

Milonga de mi flor is a Tango written by Carlos Bahr and composed by Feliciano Brunelli.



Story behind the Tango Milonga de mi flor

The lyrics of “Milonga de mi flor” evoke nostalgic imagery and capture a vibrant social scene set in the traditional Argentine neighborhood of Montserrat. The song describes scenes of dancers, particularly women in percale dresses, engaging in dance during the delightful evenings characteristic of the area’s past. The poetic voice speaks of a “taura” (a slang term for a brave or bold person) calling attention to his dance moves, suggesting a spirited, lively environment where people gathered to show off their prowess and compete in good-natured dance contests.



Symbolism of Milonga de mi flor

The choice of “percales” a type of light cotton fabric, symbolizes the simplicity and earthiness of the times. Montserrat, as mentioned in the song, holds historical significance; one of the oldest neighborhoods in Buenos Aires, it provides a backdrop that adds a layer of cultural depth to the song. “Milonga de mi flor” employs flora as a metaphor, referring to the dance and possibly to the cherished person or memory likened to a unique flower in the milonga’s bouquet of experiences. Retador “challenger” in the intention, the verse describes the typical character of milongas where dancers often entered light-hearted challenges and duels of skill.



Milonga de mi flor in historic Context

Written during the early 1940s, a time when Tango was woven deeply into the fabric of Argentine culture, “Milonga de mi flor” echoes a sentiment of nostalgia for a simpler, bygone era. During this period, Buenos Aires was a melting pot of cultures and the birthplace of many Tango traditions. The neighborhood Montserrat in Buenos Aires, where European immigrants predominantly settled, was influential in shaping the Tango culture. This historical context enriches the song’s lyrics, highlighting a longing for the vibrant and jubilant gatherings that characterized the early 20th-century milongas.
