Letra del Tango Murmullos (Murmuyos)

Cuando el ombú de la existencia

sacude el viento del recuerdo,

se llena el alma de ‘murmuyos’

que cuentan cosas del tiempo viejo.

En ocasiones, al oírlos,

el cielo claro de los ojos

queda ‘tapao’ de cerrazón

y en otras veces, sin querer,

se va la mano pa’l facón.



‘Murmuyos’ que traen al alma

la tropa de los recuerdos,

pa’ llegar vienen al trote

pa’ ‘dirse’ siempre son lerdos.

‘Murmuyos’, ‘murmuyos’ son

que aprietan el corazón.



Y si los echo pa’ correrlos

a la perrada de los sueños,

esos ‘murmuyos’, uno a uno,

me matan ‘tuitos’ los pobres perros.

Sólo la caña los domina

y se los lleva al trote en ancas,

por eso siempre tiene sed

de caña, mi alma, pa’ apagar

la voz que llega del ‘pasao’.

English lyrics of the Tango "Murmullos (Murmuyos)"

When the ombu tree of existence

stirs the wind of memory,

the soul fills with ‘murmurs’

that speak of olden times.

Sometimes, when hearing them,

the clear sky of the eyes

becomes ‘covered’ by storm clouds

and at other times, without wanting,

the hand reaches for the knife.

‘Murmurs’ that bring to the soul

the herd of memories,

trotting as they come

but always slow to ‘leave’.

‘Murmurs’, ‘murmurs’ they are

that tighten the heart.

And if I try to chase them away

the pack of dreams,

these ‘murmurs’, one by one,

kill all the poor dogs.

Only the liquor can subdue them

and carries them away on its back at a trot,

that’s why my soul always thirsts

for liquor, to extinguish

the voice that comes from the ‘past’.

Story behind the Tango Murmullos (Murmuyos)

The tango “Murmullos (Murmuyos)” presents a poetic glance into the realm of memory and nostalgia. The narrative unfolds around the metaphor of whispers or murmurings that bring forth images and memories of the past, evocative of experiences that stir the soul. The mention of the “ombú” tree, a symbol of endurance and protection in Argentine folklore, sets a dramatic scene where these memories are stirred by the winds, metaphorically shaking the branches of existence.

Symbolism of Murmullos (Murmuyos)

Key phrases such as “el viento del recuerdo” and “la tropa de los recuerdos” use wind and troop imagery respectively to suggest how past experiences and memories can besiege one’s present. Memories come swiftly, like a troop arriving on horseback but leave slowly, indicating their lasting impact on the mind and heart.

“Murmullos,” referring to whispers or muffled voices, reaffirms the quiet, yet persistent, quality of these memories that grip the heart (“aprietan el corazón”). This grip on the heart symbolizes how deeply personal and affecting these memories are, revealing their ability to evoke profound emotional responses.

Murmullos (Murmuyos) in historic Context

Considering its composition in 1930 Argentina, a time marked by social and political change, this tango reflects the broader theme of grappling with change and yearning for the perceived simplicity or purity of the past. This was a period leading to the Infamous Decade, characterized by economic instability and a series of coups. Thus, the tango could resonate with the collective nostalgia for steadier times as well as celebrate the resilience represented by the enduring ombú tree amid winds of change.
