Letra del Tango Muriéndome de amor

Tu boca puede más que mi cordura

y me tortura la tentación,

con sólo imaginar que tu me besas

ardo en intensa fiebre de amor.

Mi vida es una llama que se inflama

al soplo de una racha de pasión.

Y un ansia que no deja pensar nada,

un ansia atormentada, me arrastra en su turbión.



Hay algo siempre en ti, que me provoca.

Y hay algo siempre en mí, que me apasiona.

Y en medio de los dos, la furia loca

que enciende la pasión en nuestras bocas.

Mil veces he intentado rebelarme,

negándome a esta ciega tentación,

mas tengo un corazón, y soy de carne.

Y al verte junto a mí, vuelvo a besarte,

muriéndome de amor.



Me asusta esta ansiedad con que yo espero

cada momento de nuestro amor.

Me aturde este afiebrado sentimiento

en que me enciendo sin salvación.

Qué embrujo del amor caldeó mi sangre,

qué fiebre me enardece el corazón

y anima en mi flaqueza irresponsable

en ansia irremediable que puede más que yo.

English lyrics of the Tango "Muriéndome de amor"

Your lips have more power than my sanity

and the temptation tortures me,

just imagining you kissing me

I burn in intense fever of love.

My life is a flame that ignites

at the blow of a gust of passion.

And a longing that leaves no room for thought,

a tormented craving, drags me into its turmoil.

There’s always something in you, that provokes me.

And there’s always something in me, that gets passionate.

And between the two of us, the mad fury

that ignites the passion in our mouths.

A thousand times I’ve tried to rebel,

denying this blind temptation,

but I have a heart, and I am made of flesh.

And seeing you next to me, I kiss you again,

dying of love.

I’m frightened by the anxiety with which I wait

for each moment of our love.

This feverish feeling bewilders me

in which I catch fire with no salvation.

What witchcraft of love heated my blood,

what fever sets my heart ablaze

and animates in my irresponsible weakness

an irremediable craving that overpowers me.

Story behind the Tango Muriéndome de amor

The lyrics of “Muriéndome de amor” describe a passionate and intense relationship, verging on an existential collapse into love. The protagonist expresses an overwhelming desire and passion that defy his rationality, indicating a deep connection that borders on obsession. Through vivid images of fire and fervor, Carlos Bahr portrays love as both a destructive and creative force that consumes the lover entirely.



Symbolism of Muriéndome de amor

The recurring images in the tango, such as “flame,” “fever,” and the metaphorical “storm,” symbolize the uncontrollable and overpowering nature of the protagonist’s feelings. Phrases like “Tu boca puede más que mi cordura” (“Your mouth can more than my sanity”) highlight the conflict between reason and desire, portraying love as something that transcends rational thought and leads to madness. The line “muriéndome de amor” translates to “dying of love,” which strikingly encapsulates the depth of emotion that leads to a metaphorical death by the sheer intensity of passion.



Muriéndome de amor in historic Context

The tango was recorded in 1956, a time when Argentina was experiencing significant political and social changes. This period was marked by turbulence and a longing for deeper connections in the midst of societal upheavals. The intense passion and existential angst in the lyrics might reflect a broader sense of uncertainty and desire for meaningful relationships amid the chaos. The mention of overwhelming emotions and a lack of salvation could also resonate with the national sentiment of unrest, making the tango particularly poignant for its audience at the time.
