Muriéndome de amor is a Tango written by and composed by Manuel Sucher.
The tango “Muriéndome de amor” unfolds the passionate and tumultuous emotions experienced in a consuming, irresistible love affair. The lyrics reveal a narrative of deep yearning and internal conflict as the speaker is drawn uncontrollably towards their lover. The vivid imagery of burning passion, feverish desire, and the struggle between reason and emotion paints an intense picture of the power of love that defies logic and restraint. Each encounter with the beloved reignites this fervor, making the speaker both vulnerable and revived, caught in a relentless cycle of longing.
The lyrics are rich with symbolism. Phrases like “Mi vida es una llama” (“My life is a flame”) use fire as a metaphor for the engulfing nature of love, with its ability to both illuminate and scorch. The imagery of “una racha de pasión” (“a gust of passion”) symbolizes the spontaneous and uncontrollable nature of emotions that the speaker grapples with. Words like “ansia atormentada” (“tormented yearning”) highlight the internal struggle and desperation brought on by such intense feelings.
Key phrases such as “Al soplo de una racha de pasión” emphasize the instability and impulsive force of love that drives the speaker into a frenzy of desire. “Me asusta esta ansiedad” (“This anxiety frightens me”) communicates the fear of being overwhelmed by these uncontrollable emotions, yet there is also an irresistible thrill that the speaker cannot escape.

This period was marked by a sense of transition and the blending of traditional Argentine sensibilities with modern influences, reflecting in the emotional and cultural depth of the lyrics.
