Letra del Tango Nosotros

Ayer, fue primavera en nuestras vidas,

qué grande fue el cariño de los dos.

Vivíamos sin penas, sin espinas,

dos almas, pero sólo un corazón.

De pronto, la amargura de un reproche

y el cielo de los dos oscureció,

la tibia primavera se hizo noche

y el brillo del orgullo nos cegó.



Nosotros

tanto y tanto nos amamos

y estamos

para siempre separados.

Nosotros

fuimos sólo un corazón,

por el mísero amor propio

nos quedamos sin amor

Nosotros…

hoy lloramos pero es tarde,

sólo fuimos dos cobardes

que cerramos nuestros labios

a la gloria de un perdón.



Después de la tormenta, al encontranos,

plegamos nuestros brazos sin razón.

Pasamos como pasan dos extraños

y adentro se moría el corazón.

Después una muralla de silencio

tu orgullo con mi orgullo levantó,

nos fuimos por caminos sin regreso

y estamos, por orgullo, sin amor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Nosotros"

Yesterday, it was springtime in our lives,
what great affection we shared.
We lived without sorrow, without thorns,
two souls, but only one heart.

Suddenly, the bitterness of a reproach,
and our shared skies darkened,
the warm spring turned into night
and the glare of pride blinded us.

We,
loved so deeply,
yet now,
are forever apart.
We,
were just one heart,
but for our petty pride,
we are left without love,
We…
now we cry, but it’s too late,
we were just two cowards
who sealed our lips
from the glory of forgiveness.

After the storm, upon meeting,
we held back our arms, senselessly.
We passed like two strangers
and inside, the heart was dying.
Then a wall of silence,
your pride and mine constructed,
led us on paths of no return,
and now, by pride, we’re without love.

Story behind the Tango Nosotros

“Nosotros” captures a poignant narrative of love lost, weaving a story of a relationship that blossomed like springtime but ended in separation due to pride and misunderstandings. These lyrics delve into the complex emotions of grief and regret that follow the unresolved conflicts and the silence that builds walls between loved ones. The imagery of spring turning to night as their love darkens is particularly evocative, pointing to the transition from warmth to coldness in their relationship.



Symbolism of Nosotros

In “Nosotros,” various symbols enhance the emotional landscape of the song. Spring represents the peak of their love, full of life and devoid of pain, juxtaposed starkly with the night and winter symbolizing the cold and darkness of their separation. The recurring reference to hearts illustrates the deep emotional connection shared, only to be defeated by pride—referred to here as the “miserable pride,” which alludes to the destructive nature of ego in personal relationships.



Nosotros in historic Context

“Nosotros” was created in 1958, a time when tango was not just a dance but an expression of deeper societal emotions in Argentina. During this period, Argentina was experiencing significant political and economic changes, influencing artists to explore themes of loss, nostalgia, and personal turmoil in their work. The focus on intimate human emotions and the plight of separation in this tango reflects a collective sense of uncertainty and change that people were facing in their lives at that time.
