Letra del Tango Re fa si

Corrientes 3, 4, 8,
segundo piso, ascensor.
No hay porteros ni vecinos.
Adentro, cocktail y amor.
Pisito que puso Maple:
piano, estera y velador,
un telefón que contesta,
una victrola que llora
viejos tangos de mi flor
y un gato de porcelana
pa’ que no maulle al amor.

Y todo a media luz,
que es un brujo el amor,
a media luz los besos,
a media luz los dos.
Y todo a media luz
crepúsculo interior.
¡Qué suave terciopelo
la media luz de amor!

Juncal 12, 24
Telefoneá sin temor.
De tarde, té con masitas;
de noche, tango y cantar.
Los domingos, tés danzantes;
los lunes, desolación,
Hay de todo en la casita:
almohadones y divanes;
come en botica, cocó;
alfombras que no hacen ruido
y mesa puesta al amor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Re fa si"

Corrientes three, four, eight,
second floor, elevator.
No doormen or neighbors.
Inside, cocktails and love.
A small apartment arranged by Maple:
piano, rug, and night lamp,
a phone that answers,
a phonograph that weeps
old tangos of my dear,
and a porcelain cat
so it won’t meow at love.

And everything in half-light,
for love is a sorcerer,
half-light kisses,
both of us in half-light.
And everything in half-light,
an inner twilight.
What soft velvet,
the half-light of love!

Juncal twelve, twenty-four,
call without fear.
Tea with cookies in the afternoon;
at night, tango and singing.
Sundays, tea dances;
Mondays, desolation.
The little house has everything:
pillows and couches;
it eats like a drugstore, chic;
carpets that don’t make a sound
and a table set for love.

Story behind the Tango Re fa si

The lyrics of “Re fa si” paint a picture of a secretive and intimate setting, perfect for romantic escapades. The detailed descriptions of the locations, such as “Corrientes 3, 4, 8, segundo piso, ascensor,” evoke a sense of a private space hidden from the public eye. The use of the address, set in Buenos Aires, suggests an actual place, grounding the passionate experiences in reality. Each element, from the “piano, estera y velador” (piano, mat, and night light) to the “gato de porcelana” (porcelain cat), adds to the atmosphere of a carefully curated love nest, free from external disturbances.



Symbolism of Re fa si

The recurrent motif of “a media luz” (in half-light) symbolizes the dualities of love—its mystery, intimacy, and sometimes its ambiguity. The half-light softens reality, allowing lovers to immerse themselves in a more romantic, albeit perhaps less clear, world. The mention of “a media luz los besos, a media luz los dos” highlights how love thrives in this dimness, where nuances are often more felt than seen. Additionally, the porcelain cat symbolizes silence and discretion needed in the affections shared in this dim light, ensuring that the sanctity of these moments remains unblemished by the outer world.



Re fa si in historic Context

Composed in 1970 in Argentina, “Re fa si” emerged when the country was experiencing significant political and social changes. This period saw the beginning of a shift towards more conservative and repressive regimes leading up to the military dictatorship. In such times, the escapism offered by the tango could be seen as a refuge for personal expression and free emotion. The intimate settings and the secretive tones in the tango possibly reflect a need to hide away personal pleasures and desires from the prying eyes of an increasingly invasive state apparatus.
