Letra del Tango Nuestra casita

Hay en las líneas de tus ojos
El esplendor de una alborada,
Y en el azul de tus ojeras,
El latir maravilloso
De los cielos y del mar.
En el cristal de tu sonrisa
El rutilar de las campanas,
Albos destellos para el alma,
Y cascabeles de bonanza,
En mi triste soledad.

Si tú quisieras ser
La dueña de mi amor,
Si la amada inseparable fueras tú,
Lo que te brindo,
Humildemente bastará
Para los dos, para los dos,
Una casita toda blanca que será
El santuario para nuestra intimidad,
Con muchos pájaros y flores en su jardín
Plenos de luz, de paz.

Y cuando estemos los dos solos
Entre las rosas y los trinos,
Con las banderas de tu pelo,
Desplegadas a la brisa
Refulgentes de oro y sol.
Te rezaré muy quedamente
Besando casi tus oídos,
Al embrujo de tu alma,
Está prendido dulcemente
Mi rendido corazón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Nuestra casita"

In the lines of your eyes,
There’s the splendor of dawn breaking,
And in the blue of your dark circles,
The marvelous beating
Of the heavens and the sea.
In the crystal of your smile,
The twinkling of the bells,
White flashes for the soul,
And bells of prosperity,
In my sad solitude.

If you would be
The mistress of my love,
If you were the inseparable beloved,
What I offer,
Humbly will suffice
For both of us, for both of us,
A little white house that will be
The sanctuary for our intimacy,
With many birds and flowers in its garden,
Full of light, of peace.

And when we’re both alone
Among the roses and the melodies,
With the flags of your hair,
Spread out to the breeze
Gleaming with gold and sun.
I will quietly pray to you
Kissing close to your ears,
Under the spell of your soul,
Sweetly clings
My surrendered heart.

Story behind the Tango Nuestra casita

“Nuestra casita” meticulously paints a picture of a humble yet profound love. Through its lyrics, it introduces the listener to a serene vision of domestic bliss and deep emotional intimacy. The song describes a small, intimate space—a “little white house”—filled with light, birds, and flowers. This house symbolizes not just a physical dwelling but also a cherished space of shared love and harmony away from the solitude experienced by the narrator.



Symbolism of Nuestra casita

The lyrics of “Nuestra casita” are rife with symbolic imagery that deepens the emotional impact of the song. For instance, the lines “Hay en las líneas de tus ojos, El esplendor de una alborada” use the dawn as a metaphor to describe the luminous hope and joy the loved one brings to the narrator’s life. Similarly, “El rutilar de las campanas” subtly conveys a sense of celebration or sanctity, invoking the imagery of church bells ringing during joyous occasions. The “little white house” itself is a potent symbol of purity, simplicity, and safety—a sanctuary for the couple’s love.



Nuestra casita in historic Context

The song was created in 1943, during a period marked globally by World War II, but in Argentina, it was also a time of significant cultural flourishing, especially in the realms of music and arts. “Nuestra casita,” recorded during this tumultuous period, possibly served as an emotional escape into a world of idyllic love and peace, contrasting sharply with the global atmosphere of uncertainty and conflict. The focus on personal joy and sanctuary can be seen as a reflective longing for peace and stability in a war-ridden world.
