Letra del Tango Paisaje (2)

La estación. Dos vías. Al lado, el camino.
Agitado oleaje del mar del trigal
y la margarita de un viejo molino
fingiendo a lo lejos un punto final.
El calor sofoca, pero se avecina
la tormenta amiga conjurando el mal
y la flecha viva de una golondrina
es como un diamante rayando un cristal.

Qué ganas de gritar,
gritar, gritar,
igual que cuando chico,
la frase familiar:
“Que llueva, que llueva,
la vieja está en la cueva;
los pajaritos cantan,
las nubes se levantan…
Que llueva, que llueva,
la vieja está en la cueva”.
Y es tal mi aturdimiento
que en fuerza de gritar
ni me doy cuenta casi
que está lloviendo ya.

Luego el sol asoma su cabeza rubia;
lo veo a lo lejos de nuevo brillar
entre el fino fleco del tul de la lluvia
que va silenciando su repiquetear.
Y mientras del fondo de la lejanía
un tren de juguete parece avanzar,
en un lago rojo se desangra el día
sobre los trigales color verdemar.

English lyrics of the Tango "Paisaje (2)"

The station. Two tracks. Beside it, the road.
Churning waves of the wheat field sea
and the daisy of an old mill
pretending afar a final dot.
The heat stifles, but the friendly storm approaches
conjuring away the evil
and the swift arrow of a swallow
is like a diamond scratching a glass.

Oh how I want to shout,
shout, shout,
just like when I was little,
the familiar phrase:
“Let it rain, let it rain,
the old lady is in the cave;
the little birds sing,
the clouds lift…
Let it rain, let it rain,
the old lady is in the cave”.
And such is my dizziness
that from so much shouting
I hardly realize
that it’s already raining.

Then the sun peeks its blond head;
I see it shining in the distance again
through the fine fringe of the rain’s tulle
that silences its tapping.
And while from the depths of the distance
a toy train seems to advance,
in a red lake the day bleeds
over the sea-green colored wheat fields.

Story behind the Tango Paisaje (2)

The lyrics of “Paisaje (2)” transport listeners to a pastoral scene beside a train station, with vivid imagery of nature and changing weather. The presence of the old mill, the swaying wheat fields, and the final rain captures both the temporal progression and the emotional journey encapsulated within. It is an evocative reflection on childhood memories, tied to specific phrases sung during rain, suggesting a return to simpler, carefree days.


Symbolism of Paisaje (2)

Key phrases such as “Que llueva, que llueva, la vieja está en la cueva,” evoke folklore and are repeated as a nostalgic invocation for rain, signifying renewal and cleansing. The imagery of the ‘old windmill’ and ‘the swaying wheat sea’ symbolizes change and constancy, while ‘the storm’ is personified as a friend coming to drive away harm. The swift movements of a swallow being likened to a diamond scratching glass intensify a sense of fleeting beauty and precious moments.


Paisaje (2) in historic Context

Recorded in 1951, “Paisaje (2)” mirrors post-war Argentina, a time of deep social and economic transformation. The tango scene itself was evolving, with themes increasingly reflecting introspective and melancholic tones. This song uses the tranquil yet dynamic countryside setting to contrast the bustling urban life most were familiar with, perhaps as a subtle commentary on the yearning for peace and simplicity in the tumultuous period of mid-20th century Argentina.
