Letra del Vals Pedacito de cielo

La casa tenía una reja
pintada con quejas
y cantos de amor.
La noche llenaba de ojeras
la reja, la hiedra
y el viejo balcón…
Recuerdo que entonces reías
si yo te leía
mi verso mejor
y ahora, capricho del tiempo,
leyendo esos versos
¡lloramos los dos!

Los años de la infancia
pasaron, pasaron…
La reja está dormida de tanto silencio
y en aquel pedacito de cielo
se quedó tu alegría y mi amor.
Los años han pasado
terribles, malvados,
dejando esa esperanza que no ha de llegar
y recuerdo tu gesto travieso
después de aquel beso
robado al azar…

Tal vez se enfrió con la brisa
tu cálida risa,
tu límpida voz…
Tal vez escapó a tus ojeras
la reja, la hiedra
y el viejo balcón…
Tus ojos de azúcar quemada
tenían distancias
doradas al sol…
¡Y hoy quieres hallar como entonces
la reja de bronce
temblando de amor!…

English lyrics of the Vals "Pedacito de cielo"

The house had a gate
painted with complaints
and songs of love.
The night filled with dark circles
the gate, the ivy,
and the old balcony…
I remember you laughed
when I read you
my best verse,
and now, by the whim of time,
reading those verses,
we both cry!

The years of childhood
passed, they passed…
The gate sleeps from so much silence,
and in that little piece of heaven
remains your joy and my love.
The years have passed
terrible, wicked,
leaving that hope which will not come,
and I remember your mischievous face
after that kiss
stolen randomly…

Perhaps with the breeze your warm laughter cooled,
your clear voice…
Perhaps it escaped to your dark circles
the gate, the ivy
and the old balcony…
Your eyes of burnt sugar
held distances
gilded by the sun…
And today you want to find again,
like before,
the bronze gate
trembling with love!

Pedacito de cielo by Homero Expósito

Pedacito de cielo is a Tango written by Homero Expósito and composed by Enrique Francini.



Story behind the Tango Pedacito de cielo

The tango “Pedacito de cielo” (Little Piece of Heaven) explores themes of nostalgia, lost youth, and enduring love. Homero Expósito uses a poignant narrative to describe a place full of love and memories, juxtaposed with the passing of time that has dimmed these beautiful memories. The lyrics reminisce about a time when laughter and love filled the air, shared between two people in their youthful innocence, reflecting deep emotional connections tied to physical spaces from the past.



Symbolism of Pedacito de cielo

In “Pedacito de cielo”, the fence, ivy, and old balcony are recurrent symbols that embody the passage of time and the changes it brings. The fence, once alive with the murmurs of love songs, now stands quiet, illustrating how vibrant beginnings often fade into silence. Ivy, a plant that typically symbolizes fidelity and eternal connection, here continues to grow amidst the decay, suggesting that love, despite the apparent stillness, endures. The phrase “aquel pedacito de cielo” links the cherished space of the protagonists’ shared moments to a fragment of paradise, a sacred and untouched memory preserved in the heart.



Pedacito de cielo in historic Context

Written and popularized in 1967, “Pedacito de cielo” emerges during a time of significant cultural and political changes in Argentina. This period is marked by a struggle against oppressive regimes and a societal shift towards more conservative ideals. In this context, the tango could be seen as a refuge from the harsh external realities, a lyrical escape to a time and place where warmth and affection prevailed. The yearning for the past and the melancholy that permeates the song reflect a collective nostalgia for simpler, more innocent times in the face of ongoing societal upheaval.



Homero Expósito
