Letra del Tango Para siempre

Viejo hotel de mis ensueños y alegrías

que acunó el idilio de un loco amar,

hoy recuerdo aquellos días que vos eras

el fiel testigo de mi cantar.



Hotel Victoria, vos que supiste

lo que he llorado en mi soledad,

verás mañana, cuando te olviden,

que sólo el tango te recordará.

Hotel Victoria, fue el año veinte,

que de tus puertas partió mi amor.

Y desde entonces llevo una pena

que va matando a mi pobre corazón.



Hoy que a golpes de piqueta te voltearon,

como aquella ingrata mi amor tronchó.

Los recuerdos son ahora muy amargos,

ilusión que el tiempo se la llevó.

English lyrics of the Tango "Para siempre"

Old hotel of my dreams and joys,
that cradled the idyll of a mad love,
today I remember those days when you were
the faithful witness to my singing.

Hotel Victoria, you who knew
what I cried in my solitude,
you will see tomorrow, when you are forgotten,
that only the tango will remember you.
Hotel Victoria, it was the year ’20,
when my love left through your doors.
And since then I carry a sorrow
that is killing my poor heart.

Today, as they knocked you down with pickaxe blows,
like that ungrateful love broke me.
The memories are now very bitter,
an illusion that time carried away.

Para siempre by Carlos Pesce

Story behind the Tango Para siempre

“Para siempre,” which translates to “Forever” in English, is a poignant and reflective tango that reminisces about the past with both fondness and a touch of sorrow. The lyrics focus on an old hotel, Hotel Victoria, symbolizing a place of dreams and joys where the narrator once experienced deep emotional bonds and love. This setting serves as a cornerstone for exploring themes of love, loss, and the passage of time. The hotel, being demolished, mirrors the end of a significant relationship in the narrator’s life, providing a powerful and intimate glimpse into his emotional journey.



Symbolism of Para siempre

The song employs symbolic imagery to enhance the emotional weight of the lyrics. Hotel Victoria stands not just as a building but as a repository of memories and feelings. Its destruction represents the irreversible nature of time and loss. Phrases like “hoy recuerdo aquellos días” (today I remember those days) and “los recuerdos son ahora muy amargos” (the memories are now very bitter) encapsulate a profound nostalgia and the harsh impact of change, marking the irrevocable loss of the past and its cherished moments. These elements contribute to a deeper understanding of the impermanence of happiness and the inevitability of change.



Para siempre in historic Context

Written and recorded in 1966 Argentina, “Para siempre” reflects the cultural and historical milieu of its time, a period of profound social and political changes in the country. This context influences the song’s tone of melancholy and the thematic focus on loss and memory. The mention of “aquel año veinte” (that year twenty) suggests a retrospective look at the early 20th century, possibly alluding to a simpler, albeit idealized past that has been dramatically altered by the socioeconomic changes over the decades.

Carlos Pesce was a prolific Argentine lyricist known for his contributions to the genre of Tango, collaborating with notable composers like Armando Pontier.
