Letra del Tango Muchachita del campo

Muchachita que soñando en un amor,
un amor que nunca llega,
vas perdiendo tu perfume y tu color
como flor que no se riega.

Siempre esperas al viajero que pasó
un lejano e inolvidable atardecer,
y con voz que tu alma cándida creyó
te mintió un querer.
Y que luego de besarte se alejó
Para no volver.

¿Dónde está tu ternura?
¿Dónde está tu pasión?
Ya no hay más que amargura
tu querida ilusión.

Por el largo camino
tu lo viste marchar
y hoy sólo es tu destino:
esperar… y esperar.

English lyrics of the Tango "Muchachita del campo"

Young girl dreaming of a love,
a love that never arrives,
you’re losing your perfume and your color
like a flower not watered.

Always waiting for the traveler who passed
one distant and unforgettable evening,
and with a voice your candid soul believed
he lied about his love.
And then after kissing you, he walked away
Never to return.

Where is your tenderness?
Where is your passion?
There’s nothing left but bitterness
in your cherished illusion.

Along the long road
you saw him leave
and now your only fate is:
to wait… and wait.

Story behind the Tango Muchachita del campo

“Muchachita del campo” translates to “Little Country Girl” in English, magnifying the essence of rural innocence and youthful hope attached to its protagonist. The lyrics depict a young girl’s emotional journey as she yearns for an elusive love. As days turn into years, she continues to wait for the traveler who once promised her love during a memorable sunset but never returned. Her fading hope mirrors the waning vibrancy of an unwatered flower, capturing a poignant theme of disillusionment and longing rooted in reality.



Symbolism of Muchachita del campo

The tango uses powerful symbols to reinforce the emotional depth of the narrative. The “flower that is not watered” symbolizes the girl, who, devoid of the love she was promised, loses her “perfume and color” – a metaphor for her fading youth and joy. The repeated mentions of waiting for the traveler reflect a broader commentary on unfulfilled promises and the painful stillness of life paused by unmet expectations. This symbolism is steeped in traditional Latin cultural themes of passion and melancholy, prominently featured in tango lyrics.



Muchachita del campo in historic Context

Recorded in Argentina in 1974, “Muchachita del campo” emerges during a turbulent period marked by political unrest and social change. While the tango genre often evokes nostalgia, this piece perhaps subtly addresses the broader societal longing for stability and lost innocence in its recounting of personal heartache. The geographical setting of rural Argentina also points towards a juxtaposition between the pastoral ideal and the harsh realities many faced during this era, making the tango resonate with a larger audience experiencing similar emotional and physical landscapes.
