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 color of hope
the field dresses
its plumage
and the wind makes its strings vibrate
in the grass
and in the flower.
I have my little ranch on the hill
where the thrushes
sing…
Daisies
and rose bushes
have sprouted for you,
because one day that gaucho nest
will be for both of us.

My hopes will bloom
and our hearts will unite.
Tell me yes,
that the night of the pampas will open
and its moonbeam will place
a light of love in your eyes.
Do not say no,
for pain will dry up my rose bush
and on the cross of my ranch the thrush
will die for your love.

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

Story behind the Tango Nido gaucho

The lyrics of “Nido gaucho” depict a serene rural landscape imbued with hope and longing. The protagonist describes a modest ranch located on a hill, surrounded by nature’s beauty including thrushes, daisies, and rose bushes, painting a vivid picture of an idyllic setting. The essence of the tango revolves around the concept of this home becoming a shared nest (‘nido gaucho’) for the protagonist and their beloved, epitomizing a dream of union and domestic bliss.



Symbolism of Nido gaucho

“Nido gaucho” translates to “gaucho’s nest” in English, symbolizing a safe, nurturing home built in the traditional Argentine countryside style. The use of natural elements like the “campo” (field) donning colors of hope, and descriptive imagery involving flora and birds, symbolises growth, hope, and freedom. The protagonist’s emotional plea to not reject his love is depicted through the heartbreaking consequence of withered roses and a dying thrush, using these symbols to emphasize the depth of his love and despair.
