Letra del Tango Nieve de amor

Rosa, que se quemó con la nieve
Fue nuestro amor dulce y leve
Fue nuestro idilio de amor.
Eras, como paloma de breve
Y era, como murmullo tu voz.
Nieve, llovizna cruel de mi tristeza
Que está blanqueando mi cabeza
Y helando mi corazón.

…Y tus ojos tan negros
Se quedaron sin luz.
…Y tu risa tan sana
Como alegre campana
Se llenó de quietud.
¿Te acuerdas, muchachita
de mis versos de amor?
Están llenos de nieve, pero igual
Yo los leo para hallar, tu rumor.

Rosa, que se quemó con la nieve
Fue nuestro amor dulce y leve
Fue nuestro idilio de ayer.
Linda, como un pañuelo de cielo
Eras, y nunca más te veré.
Nieve, llovizna cruel de los recuerdos
Que está cayendo en mi desvelo
Y helando todo mi ser.

English lyrics of the Tango "Nieve de amor"

Rose, that burned with the snow
Our love was sweet and light
It was our love’s idyll.
You were, like a fleeting dove
And your voice, like a murmur.
Snow, cruel drizzle of my sadness
That is whitening my head
And freezing my heart.

…And your eyes so black
Grew dim.
…And your laugh so hearty
Like a cheerful bell,
Filled with stillness.
Do you remember, young girl,
My verses of love?
They are filled with snow, but still
I read them to find, your murmur.

Rose, that burned with the snow
Our love was sweet and light
It was yesterday’s idyll.
Beautiful, like a piece of sky
You were, and I will never see you again.
Snow, cruel drizzle of memories
That is falling in my wakefulness
And freezing my whole being.

Story behind the Tango Nieve de amor

“Nieve de amor” translates to “Snow of Love” in English and showcases Horacio Sanguinetti’s poetic exploration of lost love and melancholy. The lyrics use the imagery of snow, traditionally cold and ephemeral, to symbolize the fleeting and chilling nature of a past romance. The narrative voice reflects on a bygone relationship, describing his beloved as a rose that “burned with the snow,” suggesting the paradox of love’s warmth against the coldness of loss. The phrase “Fue nuestro idilio de amor” or “It was our love idyll,” speaks to the once-beautiful but short-lived romance that has now dissolved, much like snow.



Symbolism of Nieve de amor

The primary symbols in “Nieve de amor” are ‘snow’ and ‘rose.’ Snow represents cold, transient pain but also a blanket that covers all, signifying how memories cover one’s present emotions and thoughts. The ‘rose’, a universal symbol of love, affected by the cold snow, shows the fragility and sensitivity of love in harsh conditions. Phrases like “llovizna cruel de mi tristeza,” describing snowfall as the cruel drizzle of the speaker’s sadness, reinforce the theme of love’s transformation into sorrow and the chilling impact on the soul and heart.



Nieve de amor in historic Context

“Nieve de amor” was written and recorded during a complex period. Argentina in 1945 was marked by political instability that predated Juan Domingo Perón’s rise to power. This historical backdrop might influence the themes of loss and melancholy in “Nieve de amor,” as societal unrest often permeates individual emotional states and artistic expressions. The yearning and reflective mood of the Tango could also mirror the nation’s collective sentiment during this era, capturing an essence of longing and nostalgic pain.
