Letra del Vals Navidad (2)

Navidad, en la casa de mis padres
canción de Nochebuena
y escuchando en el patio con malvones
el cuento aquel de la abuela.
Una dulce esperanza en Año Nuevo
reinaba en nuestra casa
y en redor de la mesa tan humilde
estaba de fiesta el alma.

Cuánta felicidad,
con el amor de mis padres,
vendrán muchas Navidades,
pero aquella ya no vuelve más.
En el pasado están
las dulces horas alegres
que recordarán mis hijos
mañana cuando ellos canten en su hogar.

(recitado)
Llegó la Navidad al humilde rancho
y trajo la emoción de viejos días,
de cuando mamá buena les cantaba
y se vivían horas de alegría.
El chango eleva siempre su cabeza
buscando el tata ausente en una estrella.

Si no tuve juguetes que alegraran
los días de la infancia,
mis tristezas tuvieron las caricias
de aquellas lindas mañanas.
Cuando el diario bregar por el sustento
hirió mis tiernas manos
en el rudo trabajo mi esperanza
volcaba su dulce canto.

English lyrics of the Vals "Navidad (2)"

Christmas, at my parents’ house
a song on Christmas Eve
and listening in the yard with geraniums
to grandma’s old story.
A sweet hope on New Year’s
reigned in our home
and around such a humble table
the soul was celebrating.

So much happiness,
with the love of my parents,
many Christmases will come,
but that one will never return.
In the past are
the sweet joyful hours
that my children will remember
tomorrow when they sing in their home.

(spoken)
Christmas arrived at the humble ranch
bringing the emotion of old days,
when good mama would sing to them
and they lived moments of joy.
The boy always lifts his head
searching for the absent father in a star.

If I didn’t have toys to brighten
the days of my childhood,
my sorrows had the caresses
of those beautiful mornings.
When the daily struggle for sustenance
hurt my tender hands
in the harsh work, my hope
poured out its sweet song.

This tango captures the essence of cherished memories, portraying them as a contrast to present experiences.



Symbolism of Navidad (2)

Throughout the tango, symbolic imagery is utilized to deepen the emotional resonance.

The “humilde rancho” represents not just physical simplicity but also the purity and authenticity of emotions experienced in such settings. The imagery of children later singing the same songs in their homes denotes the cyclical nature of traditions and the transfer of cultural values.



Navidad (2) in Historic Context
