Letra del Tango Otro ángel para el cielo

Sólo cinco años, tenía aquella niña tan buena
Que para su madre era su mayor felicidad,
Pero lo quiso el destino que un día la abandonara
Y su viaje terminara, en el mundo celestial.
Es la madre quien la llora al evocar esos días
En que postrada en la cama, sin poderse levantar,
Todas las pibas jugaban, menos su hija que moría
Y con voz tenue decía: “Madre, te quiero contar”…

Anoche, dulce mamita,
Un angelito en mis sueños,
Me dijo: “Harás un vuelo
y el Señor te ha de esperar”.
Mamita, si es que me lleva
No olvides mirar al cielo,
Y buscar allí una estrella
Que te pueda iluminar…

Allá arriba donde todos angelitos que se fueron
Hacen una ronda grande y cantan al niño Dios,
Ha llegado una niña, otro ángel para el cielo
Que ha dejado a su madre en el profundo dolor.
Es la que todas las noches se encuentra sola, rezando
Buscando en el firmamento algo que quiere arrancar,
Queriendo besar la estrella, donde ella ve a su hija
Orando la mira fija y se le pierde al llorar.

Coda:
No olvides mirar al cielo
Y allá me vas a encontrar…

English lyrics of the Tango "Otro ángel para el cielo"

Only five years old, such a good little girl she was
Her mother’s greatest joy, her pride and bliss,
But fate decreed one day she would leave her side
And her journey would end, in the celestial world above.
It’s the mother who weeps, recalling those days
When laid on the bed, unable to rise,
All the girls played, except her dying child
Who softly spoke, “Mother, I want to tell you”…

Last night, sweet mommy,
An angel in my dreams,
Told me: “You’ll take flight
and the Lord awaits your arrival.”
Mommy, if he takes me
Don’t forget to look at the sky,
And search there for a star
That can shine its light on you…

Up there where all the little angels who left
Form a big circle and sing to the child God,
Arrived a girl, another angel for heaven
Who has left her mother in profound grief.
She is the one who every night stands alone, praying
Searching the firmament for something she yearns to grasp,
Wishing to kiss the star, where she sees her daughter
Fixated in prayer, her gaze lost in tears.

Coda:
Don’t forget to look at the sky
And there you will find me…

Story behind the Tango Otro ángel para el cielo

Through its narrative, the tango explores themes of fate, loss, and the eternal bond between a mother and her child. The listener is drawn into a vivid portrayal of the child’s final days and the spiritual dialogues she shares with her mother about her impending journey to the afterlife.

Symbolism of Otro ángel para el cielo

In “Otro ángel para el cielo”, significant symbolism is found in the mother’s nightly vigils under the stars, where she seeks to catch a glimpse of her departed daughter. The stars in the lyrics serve as a metaphor for the celestial, the unreachable, and the eternal. The frequent invocation of angels and celestial imagery also underscores a hopeful presumption that the child lives on in a transcendent form. The repetitive use of sky and star imagery emphasizes a sense of continuity between the earthly and the divine, suggesting solace amid despair. The phrase “No olvides mirar al cielo, Y allá me vas a encontrar” reinforces this idea, inviting an assurance of spiritual reunion.
