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’ll never know… never understand
what it’s like to die a thousand times from anxiety.
You can’t… never comprehend
what it is to love and go insane.
Your lips that burn… your kisses that intoxicate
and that torment my reasoning.
Thirst… that makes me burn
and that sets my chest ablaze with passion.

You are embedded in me… I feel you in the burning
pulse of my temples.
I adore you when you’re near… and love you even more
when you’re far from me.

This is how I love you, sweet life of my life.
This is how I feel you… only mine… always mine.

I’m scared of losing you…
of thinking that I might not see you.
Why this brutal doubt?
Why must 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 long to kiss your lips.

What is in your gaze
that when you lift your eyes to me,
I feel a voracious flame of love ignite within me?
Your hands unleash… caresses that bind me
to your womanly charms.
I know I can never
tear this love from my chest.

I love you always like this… you are embedded in me
like a dagger in the flesh.
And ardently, passionately… trembling with anxiety,
I want to die in your arms.

Story behind the Tango Pasional

‘Pasional’ is a poignant expression of profound love and the torment of unyielding desire. Its lyrics narrate the deep and, at times, agonizing connection the speaker feels towards his beloved, depicting a relationship marked by intense emotion and yearning. The message conveyed is one of eternal devotion and the anxiety that accompanies deep affection — fear of loss, and the overwhelming need to be close to the object of one’s affection.


Symbolism of Pasional

The tango uses vivid imagery and metaphors that intensify the emotional weight of the lyrics. Phrases like “lo que es morir mil veces de ansiedad” (what it is to die a thousand times of anxiety) and “te siento en el latir abrasador de mis sienes” (I feel you in the scorching beat of my temples) symbolize the consuming nature of passionate love. The metaphoric language enhances the tumultuous atmosphere, presenting love as a physical and emotional experience that overwhelms the senses. Furthermore, terms like “estás clavada en mí” (you are nailed in me) suggest a permanent, inescapable impact on the speaker’s life, indicating a blend of pain and pleasure that defines passionate love.


Pasional in Historic Context

Pasional was written in Argentina in 1952, a period marked by political and social upheaval. During this time, the nation was under the charismatic yet simultaneously controversial leadership of Juan Domingo Perón. In such a context, the themes of passion, anxiety, and torment can be seen as reflective not only of personal emotion but also of the broader societal atmosphere. The tango, as a musical genre, often captured the essence of the Argentine spirit — dramatic, passionate, and deeply expressive — and ‘Pasional’ aligns perfectly with this tradition, using personal love as a metaphor for more extensive national sentiments.

Mario Soto was an influential Argentine lyricist famous for his contributions to the tango genre. His works often delve into themes of love, nostalgia, and passion.
