Letra del Tango Pasional

No sabrás… nunca sabrás

lo que es morir mil veces de ansiedad.

No podrás… nunca entender

lo que es amar y enloquecer.

Tus labios que queman… tus besos que embriagan

y que torturan mi razón.

Sed… que me hace arder

y que me enciende el pecho de pasión.



Estás clavada en mí… te siento en el latir

abrasador de mis sienes.

Te adoro cuando estás… y te amo mucho más

cuando estás lejos de mí.



Así te quiero dulce vida de mi vida.

Así te siento… solo mía… siempre mía.



Tengo miedo de perderte…

de pensar que no he de verte.

¿Por qué esa duda brutal?

¿Por qué me habré de sangrar

si en cada beso te siento desmayar?

Sin embargo me atormento

porque en la sangre te llevo.

Y en cada instante… febril y amante

quiero tus labios besar.



¿Qué tendrás en tu mirar

que cuando a mí tus ojos levantás

siento arder en mi interior

una voraz llama de amor?

Tus manos desatan… caricias que me atan

a tus encantos de mujer.

Sé que nunca más

podré arrancar del pecho este querer.



Te quiero siempre así… estás clavada en mí

como una daga en la carne.

Y ardiente y pasional… temblando de ansiedad

quiero en tus brazos morir.

English lyrics of the Tango "Pasional"

You won’t know… you’ll never know

what it is to die a thousand times from anxiety.

You won’t understand… you can never understand

what it is to love and go mad.

Your lips that burn… your kisses that intoxicate

and torture my reason.

Thirst… that makes me burn

and lights up my chest with passion.

You’re ingrained in me… I feel you in the throbbing

heat of my temples.

I adore you when you’re here… and I love you even more

when you’re far from me.

That’s how I love you, sweet life of my life.

That’s how I feel you… only mine… always mine.

I’m afraid of losing you…

of thinking that I might not see you.

Why this brutal doubt?

Why should I bleed

if in every kiss I feel you faint?

Yet I torment myself

because I carry you in my blood.

And in every moment… feverish and loving

I want to kiss your lips.

What is in your gaze

that when you raise your eyes to mine

I feel inside me

a voracious flame of love?

Your hands unleash… caresses that bind me

to your feminine charms.

I know that never again

will I be able to tear this love from my chest.

I love you always like this… you’re ingrained in me

like a dagger in the flesh.

And fiery and passionate… trembling with anxiety

I want to die in your arms.

Story behind the Tango Pasional

“Pasional” captures the intensity and depth of a profound romantic relationship marked by extreme emotions and desire. The lyrics speak vividly of the singer’s passionate experience of love, emphasizing the suffering and ecstasy involved. The repeated invocations to the loved one, the fear of losing her, and the intense need to stay connected reflect a deep-seated, all-consuming love affair that has become the central axis around which the narrator’s life revolves. These emotions are amplified by the complex interplay of longing, joy, and torment.



Symbolism of Pasional

The title itself, “Pasional,” translates to ‘passionate’ in English, which points to the deeply emotive and passionate nature of the song’s content. Phrases like “estás clavada en mí” (you are nailed within me) use violent imagery to symbolize the deep and permanent impact the loved one has on the narrator, akin to a scar that cannot be removed. This metaphor illustrates the painful yet cherished mark left by deep emotional experiences. Similarly, the mention of a “voraz llama de amor” (voracious flame of love) symbolizes an all-consuming, uncontrollable passion that engulfs the individual.



Pasional in Historic Context

The creation of “Pasional” in Argentina in 1951 came at a time when Tango music was integral to Argentine culture, reflecting deep emotional currents and complex interpersonal relationships. This period post-World War II was marked by a resurgence in traditional values, yet there was also an undertow of rapid societal change.This societal backdrop makes the longing and passion in “Pasional” resonate with a sense of urgency and existential yearning, mirroring the collective emotions of a society grappling with rapid changes and the desire for stability and intense, enduring connections.
