Letra del Tango Para siempre

En nuestro tiempo de estudiantes

Hubo una tarde como todas,

Llegabas de tu casa

La risa niña y el pelo suelto.



Y como todos los milagros

No hubo manera de explicarlo,

Sobraron las palabras

Bastaron las miradas

Y así nació el amor.



Después tu corazón

Ya entonces mío,

Abrió su ventanal

Creció conmigo.

Y juntos ya los dos

Por el camino,

Supimos la verdad

Fuimos destino.



¿Por qué?…

Es muy joven aún

No es edad para novios.

Ya ves…

Aunque nadie creyó

Fue un amor para siempre

¡Para siempre!



La edad del corazón

No está en los años,

Misterio sin edad

Que descubrió el amor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Para siempre"

In our student days

There was an afternoon like any other,

You came from your home

Laughter young and hair undone.

And like all miracles

There was no way to explain it,

Words were superfluous

Looks were enough

And thus love was born.

Later, your heart

Already then mine,

Opened its wide window

Grew up with me.

And together we both

Upon the path,

Learned the truth

We were fated.

Why?…

She’s still very young

It’s no age for lovers.

You see…

Though no one believed

It was a love to last forever

Forever!

The age of the heart

Is not counted in years,

A timeless mystery

That love revealed.

Story behind the Tango Para siempre

‘Para siempre,’ meaning ‘Forever’ in English, beautifully narrates the tale of an enduring love that begins in the youth of the protagonists, during their student days. Silva captures a moment of innocent love blossoming, characterized by laughter and unspoken bonds. The narrative then moves through the growth and maturity of this love, emphasizing that true love is timeless and not bounded by age.



Symbolism of Para siempre

The lyrics of ‘Para siempre’ are rich with symbolism that elevates the narrative. The ‘ventanal’ (large window) symbolizes an opening of the heart, suggesting transparency and vulnerability in love. The phrase ‘Fue un amor para siempre’ emphasizes the infinity and enduring quality of love, suggesting that some emotions are destined to last ‘forever.’ This is punctuated by the idea that the ‘age of the heart’ isn’t measured in years, reinforcing the theme of love’s timeless nature.



Para siempre in Historic Context

‘Para siempre’ was composed in 1966, a period of significant cultural and social transformation in Argentina. This context adds depth to Silva’s portrayal of youthful, idealistic love prevailing despite societal skepticism—an echo perhaps of the broader desire during that era for change and renewal in Argentine society. The geographical setting of Argentina, known for its rich tango culture, further embeds this romantic expression within traditional yet evolving societal norms.

Federico Silva was a notable lyricist in the realm of Argentine Tango, collaborating often with composers to pen deeply emotional and culturally resonant pieces.
