Letra del Vals Mis flores negras

Oye, bajo las ruinas de mis pasiones

Y en el fondo de esta alma que ya no alegras,

Entre polvo de ensueños y de ilusiones

Brotan entumecidas mis flores negras.

Ellas son mis dolores, capullos hechos

Con intensos pesares que en mis entrañas,

Sepultan sus raíces cual los helechos

En las húmedas grietas de las montañas.

Ellas son tus desdenes y tus rigores

Ellas son tus perfidias y tus desvíos,

Son tus besos vibrantes y abrasadores

En pétalos tornados, negros y fríos.

Ellas son los recuerdos de aquellas horas

En que presa en mis brazos, te adormecías,

Mientras yo suspiraba por las auroras

De tus ojos… ¡Auroras que no eran mías!

Ellas son mis gemidos y mis reproches

Ocultas en esta alma que ya no alegras,

Son, por eso, tan negras como las noches

De los gélidos polos, mis flores negras.

Guarda, pues, este triste, débil manojo

Que te ofrezco de aquellas flores sombrías,

Guárdalo… nada temas… es un despojo

Del jardín de mis hondas melancolías.

English lyrics of the Vals "Mis flores negras"

Listen, beneath the ruins of my passions,
And deep in this soul you no longer cheer,
Amid dust of dreams and illusions,
My black flowers bloom, numbed by fear.

They are my pains, buds formed,
From deep sorrows within my core,
Their roots burying like ferns adorned,
In the damp crevices of mountains’ floor.

They are your disdain and your rigors,
They are your betrayals and your strays,
They are your kisses, vibrant and vigor,
In petals turned black, cold as they lay.

They are memories of those times
When, held in my arms, you’d fall asleep,
While I longed for the dawn of your eyes—
Dawns that were never mine to keep.

They are my moans and my reproaches,
Hidden in this soul you no longer cheer;
Thus, they are as black as the nights’ encroaches
On the chilled poles, my flowers appear.

So keep, then, this sad, feeble bunch
Of those shadowy flowers I offer you,
Keep it… fear not… it’s merely a hunch
From the garden of my deep melancholy’s hue.

Mis flores negras by Julio Flórez

Mis flores negras is a Tango written by Julio Flórez and composed by Julio Flórez.

Story behind the Tango Mis flores negras

“Mis flores negras” translates to “My Black Flowers” in English, capturing the essence of the songwriter’s deep-seated sorrow and emotional turmoil. The lyrics explore the theme of love lost and the lingering pain that remains, symbolized by black flowers blooming amidst the ruins of passion within the author’s soul. These flowers represent his grief, nurtured by the painful memories and indifference of a past lover. The lyric paints a melancholic picture of unrequited love and the desolation it brings.

Symbolism of Mis flores negras

The use of “flores negras” or black flowers as a central symbol starkly captures the themes of mourning and despair. The imagery of flowers typically symbolizes growth and beauty, but by attributing the color black to them, Flórez deftly alters the symbol to convey loss and desolation. Furthermore, phrases such as “ocultas en esta alma que ya no alegras” (hidden in this soul that you no longer cheer) and “el jardín de mis hondas melancolías” (the garden of my deep melancholies) deepen the emotional landscape, portraying a soul once vibrantly in love now overshadowed by sorrow and nostalgia.
