Letra del Milonga Quisiera pedirle a Dios

Te quiero porque te quiero,

no conozco otro motivo

y no he de faltar si digo

que no sé si habrá o no habrá.



Porque querés lo bueno y después,

según mi juicio,

no me importan los motivos

si se quiere de verdad.



Te llevo en mi corazón

como una flor que no marchita,

como una flor bendita

que se abrió para el amor.



Quisiera pedirle a Dios

que por favor nos dé otra vida

por si ésta se termina

volver a empezar los dos.



Lo digo como lo digo

bien clarito y sin rodeos

yo te quiero de enero a enero

y otra vez vuelve a empezar.



Más nunca he de preguntarme

la razón de tal cariño,

pues porque yo no me lo explico

ni me lo quiero explicar.



Te llevo en mi corazón

como una flor que no marchita,

como una flor bendita

que se abrió para el amor.



Quisiera pedirle a Dios

que por favor nos dé otra vida

pues por si ésta se termina

volver a empezar los dos.

English lyrics of the Milonga "Quisiera pedirle a Dios"

I love you because I love you,

I know of no other reason

and it’s not wrong to say

I don’t know if there will or won’t be.

Because you love the good, and then,

according to my judgement,

I don’t care about the reasons

if it’s truly love.

I carry you in my heart

like a flower that never withers,

like a blessed flower

that opened up for love.

I wish to ask God

to please give us another life

in case this one ends

so we both can start again.

I say it as I say it

clearly and straightforward,

I love you from January to January

and then it starts again.

But I will never ask myself

the reason for such affection,

because I can’t explain it

nor do I want to explain it.

I carry you in my heart

like a flower that never withers,

like a blessed flower

that opened up for love.

I wish to ask God

to please give us another life

in case this one ends

so we both can start again.

Quisiera pedirle a Dios by Carlos Bahr

Quisiera pedirle a Dios is a Tango written by Carlos Bahr and composed by Francisco Trópoli.



Story behind the Tango Quisiera pedirle a Dios

“Quisiera pedirle a Dios” translates to “I would like to ask God,” reflecting an earnest desire expressed in the lyrics. The core emotion driving this tango is a profound love that seeks eternity, beyond the bounds of a single lifetime. Carlos Bahr portrays a relationship so deep and timeless that even one lifetime seems insufficient. Through his poetic expression, he articulates this love as being without reason or conditions—pure and continual through all seasons.



Symbolism of Quisiera pedirle a Dios

The lyrics use strong and evocative imagery, symbolizing love as “a flower that does not fade,” an eternal and pristine sentiment. This symbolism emphasizes the undying nature of the speaker’s feelings. Phrases like “yo te quiero de enero a enero” (I love you from January to January) reinforce this notion of endless devotion, where love renews itself cyclically, echoing the perpetual rebirth inherent in nature. These choices poignantely make the intangible tangible, painting love as something eternal and evergreen.



Quisiera pedirle a Dios in historic Context

The tango was recorded on January 31, 1947, a significant period in Argentina’s history, transitioning from the tumultuous decade of the 1940s, marked by political upheavals, into a new era. This context of renewal might have influenced Bahr’s poetic imagery. His appeal to God for another life to relive the love suggests a desire for rejuvenation, a theme that likely resonated deeply with an audience facing socio-political changes and looking towards new beginnings.
