Letra del Tango Nada más que un corazón

Nada más que tu cariño
es lo que quiero,
es el milagro que a la vida
le reclamo como premio
por tanta herida.
Nada más que tu cariño
es lo que quiero,
pues nunca tiene por fortuna
que lograr esa ventura
de vivir para tu amor.

No puedo darte en cambio
más que un corazón sentimental
y humilde como una canción.
Podrá mi fantasía brindarte el halago
de sueños que prometen fortuna mejor,
pero yo no tengo nada, nada más
que anhelos que hacia ti me llevan,
y aunque quiera darte un mundo,
solamente puedo darte un corazón
que late con todo amor.

Nada más que tu cariño
es lo que quiero,
pues nunca tiene por fortuna
que lograr esa ventura
de vivir para tu amor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Nada más que un corazón"

Nothing more than your affection
is what I desire,
it’s the miracle I demand from life
as a reward
for so many wounds.
Nothing more than your affection
is what I desire,
since one never has the fortune
to achieve that happiness
of living for your love.

I can only give you in return
a sentimental heart
humble as a song.
My imagination may offer you the flattery
of dreams promising a better fortune,
but I have nothing, nothing more
than yearnings that lead me towards you,
and even though I wish to give you the world,
I can only give you a heart
that beats with all its love.

Nothing more than your affection
is what I desire,
since one never has the fortune
to achieve that happiness
of living for your love.

Story behind the Tango Nada más que un corazón

This poignant 1944 Tango captures a heartfelt plea for love and affection in simple terms. The lyrics, written by Carlos Bahr, underscore the singer’s earnest desire for nothing more than sincere love as his life’s prize, healing all past wounds. The song reflects on the humble offering he can make in return—a pure, heartfelt devotion encapsulated in the phrase “nothing more than a heart.”



Symbolism of Nada más que un corazón

The repeated refrain, “Nada más que tu cariño es lo que quiero,” which translates to “nothing more than your affection is what I want,” emphatically articulates the theme of profound simplicity and desire for emotional richness over material wealth. The heart in the song acts as a symbol not only of love but also of emotional vulnerability and sincerity, contrasting with material gifts or promises of grandeur. This symbolism is enhanced further by the portrayal of the heart as being as “sentimental and humble as a song.” This imagery uses the universal simplicity and emotiveness of a song to parallel the purity and depth of the heart offered.



Nada más que un corazón in historic Context

The song, recorded in 1944 in Argentina, arrives at a time when the world was engulfed in the latter stages of World War II. The socio-economic circumstances were dire, and perhaps this context influenced Bahr’s emphasis on emotional depth and integrity over materialistic or outward fortunes. During a period when many faced losses and hardships, the promise of a loving, dedicated heart symbolizes a beacon of genuine human connection and support. This tango, like many of its time, served not just as entertainment but as a form of emotional expression and escapism from the harsh realities of daily life.



Carlos Bahr

Carlos Bahr was a prominent figure in the Argentinian Tango scene, renowned for his evocative lyrics that often delved deep into themes of love, melancholy, and human emotion.
