Letra del Tango Nido gaucho

Luciendo su color de esperanza
viste el campo
su plumaje
y el viento hace vibrar sus cordajes
en los pastos
y en la flor.
Yo tengo mi ranchito en la loma
donde cantan
los zorzales…
Margaritas
y rosales
han brotado para ti,
porque un día será ese nido gaucho
de los dos.

Florecerán mis ilusiones
y se unirán los corazones.
Dime que sí,
que la noche pampera abrirá
y su rayo de luna pondrá
luz de amor en tus ojos.
No digas no,
que el dolor secará mi rosal
y en la cruz de mi rancho el zorzal
morirá por tu amor.

Mañana, cuando el sol se ilumine,
entre gotas de rocío
el llanto de este cariño mío
sobre el trébol pisarás.
Recuerda que por ti lo he vertido
y si sientes mi tormento,
golondrina,
cara al viento,
tus dos alas
abrirás…
Y de un solo vuelo mis tristezas
matarás.

English lyrics of the Tango "Nido gaucho"

Wearing its hopeful color
the field dresses
its feathers
and the wind makes its strings vibrate
in the grasses
and in the flower.
I have my little ranch on the hill
where the thrushes sing…
Daisies
and rosebushes
have bloomed for you,
because one day this will be our gaucho nest,
for the two of us.

My dreams will bloom
and the hearts will join.
Say yes,
that the Pampas night will open
and its moonbeam will shed
a light of love in your eyes.
Do not say no,
because the pain will dry my rosebush
and on the cross of my ranch, the thrush
will die for your love.

Tomorrow, when the sun shines,
among drops of dew
the tears of this love of mine
you will tread on the clover.
Remember that I have shed them for you
and if you feel my torment,
swallow,
facing the wind,
your two wings
you will spread…
And with a single flight, my sorrows
you will kill.

Story behind the Tango Nido gaucho

The tango “Nido gaucho” paints a pastoral and emotional landscape, set in the idyllic countryside of Argentina. It tells the story of a hopeful love, with a protagonist who envisions a future shared with a beloved, symbolized through the imagery of a “little nest” (nido) on a hill. The lyrics reflect the yearning and romantic idealism characteristic of many tangos, showcasing the depth of longing and the beauty of human emotion tied to land and nature.

Symbolism of Nido gaucho

“Nido gaucho” leverages rich, nature-based symbolism to enhance its message of hope and love. The “color de esperanza” (color of hope) illustrates a vivid image of life and renewal. The ranchito and zorzales (thrush birds) evoke a sense of home and natural beauty, while flowers like margaritas and rosales symbolize blossoming love and potential happiness. The imagery of the night pampera, moonlight, and bird, the golondrina (swallow), is used to signify transition and the anticipation of love’s fulfillment, adding layers of emotional resonance to the narrative.

Nido gaucho in historic Context

Written in 1951, “Nido gaucho” reflects a post-World War II Argentina, where the tango served as both an emotional escape and a cultural emblem. The song evokes nostalgia for simpler, pastoral life at a time when Argentina was undergoing both economic change and political instability. Located in Buenos Aires, the urban hub of tango culture, the location underscores a contrast between city life and the rustic imagery found in the lyrics, appealing to a sense of longing for agrarian purity and peacefulness.

Carlos di Sarli was a distinguished Argentine musician and composer, noted for his influential role in tango music’s evolution, known for infusing the traditional genre with a sophisticated orchestral style.
