Letra del Vals Poema triste

Caminaba por un camino
De soledad y de olvido,
Tristeza de amores muertos
Guardaba en mi pecho herido,
Y el dolor de un desencanto
Por la senda iba conmigo.

Me detuvo tu voz lejana
Y tu trágico suspiro,
Llegaron tus pasos leves
Llegaron tus besos tibios,
Y después llegó la nieve
De tu adiós sobre el camino.

Ya no estás incontente
Tu recuerdo que te nombra,
Y tu nombre es la angustia que al llamarte
Se prolonga entre las sombras,
Esas sombras que te nombran
En el eco de mi voz.
Ya no estás ni siquiera,
En la esperanza de una espera
Ya no estás, corazón, ya no estás.

English lyrics of the Vals "Poema triste"

I walked along a path
Of solitude and forgetfulness,
Sadness of loves passed away
Held in my wounded heart,
And the pain of disillusion
Companioned me on the way.

Your distant voice stopped me
And your tragic sigh,
Your light steps arrived
Your warm kisses came,
And then came the snow
Of your goodbye on the path.

You are no longer, absent
Your memory that names you,
And your name is the anguish that calls
And lingers in the shadows,
Those shadows that name you
In the echo of my voice.
You are no longer, not even
In the hope of waiting
You are no longer, dear heart, you are no longer.

Story behind the Tango Poema triste

The tango “Poema triste” delves into a poetic narrative of isolation and heartbreak. The narrator describes walking a path of solitude and forgotten memories, burdened by the sorrow of lost loves. This journey is depicted as one marked by emotional scars and unfulfilled longings, painting a picture of melancholy and yearning. The unexpected re-encounter with a distant voice—a ghostly reminder of past love—introduces the fleeting warmth of affection before descending once more into the coldness of departure, as the goodbye falls like snow upon the path.

Symbolism of Poema triste

The text is rife with symbolic elements, each adding layers to the emotional narrative. The “camino de soledad y de olvido” (path of solitude and forgetfulness) represents a life haunted by loss and the inability to move beyond the past. The “nieve de tu adiós” (snow of your goodbye) vividly captures the chilling and final separation, evoking the imagery of emotional desolation. Notable phrases such as “tristeza de amores muertos” (sorrow of dead loves) and “eco de mi voz” (echo of my voice) highlight the persistent haunt of past affections, where even memories reverberate painfully against the backdrop of the protagonist’s solitude.
