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"

Showing off its color of hope
The field dresses up
In its plumage
And the wind makes its strings quiver
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 blossom
And hearts will unite.
Tell me yes,
That the pampas night will open
And put its moonbeam
A light of love in your eyes.
Don’t say no,
For the pain will dry up my rosebush
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 step on the tears of this love of mine.
Remember, it was shed for you
And if you feel my torment,
Swallow,
Face to the wind,
You will spread
Your two wings…
And with one single flight, you will kill
My sadness.

Story behind the Tango Nido gaucho

“Nido gaucho” translates to “Gaucho Nest” in English, evoking imagery of a rustic, serene home set in the Argentine countryside. The lyrics tell a story of longing and hope, where the speaker describes the natural beauty surrounding his simple ranch, infused with sentiments of love and desire. The speaker dreams of sharing this idyllic space with a beloved, making it a nest for both.



Symbolism of Nido gaucho

The song uses vivid language and symbols of nature to enhance the emotional depth of the lyrics. Phrases like “Luciendo su color de esperanza” (Showing its color of hope) symbolize optimism and a new beginning, while the stars, fields, and flowers signify natural beauty and purity. The ‘nido gaucho’ itself becomes a symbol for a haven of love and tranquility that the speaker wishes to share. The reference to the ‘zorzal,’ or thrush, dying “por tu amor” (for your love) is a particularly poignant symbol of sacrifice and unrequited love.



Nido gaucho in historic Context

Written and recorded in 1966 in Argentina, “Nido gaucho” emerges during a vibrant but complex period in Argentine history, characterized by political shifts and cultural transformations. This cultural context adds layers to the lyrics’ focus on traditional, rural imagery as a place of emotional purity and escape, possibly as a counterpoint to the ongoing urbanization and modernization in Argentina during the mid-20th century. The gaucho, an iconic figure in Argentine culture, symbolizes freedom and resilience, aspects deeply woven into the fabric of this tango.
