Letra del Tango Remembranza (Remembranzas)

Cómo son largas las semanas
cuando no estás cerca de mí
no sé qué fuerzas sobrehumanas
me dan valor lejos de ti.
Muerta la luz de mi esperanza
soy como un náufrago en el mar,
sé que me pierdo en lontananza
mas no me puedo resignar.
¡Ah
¡qué triste es recordar
después de tanto amar,
esa dicha que pasó…
Flor de una ilusión
nuestra pasión se marchitó.
¡Ah
¡olvida mi desdén,
retorna dulce bien,
a nuestro amor,
y volverá a florecer
nuestro querer
como aquella flor.

En nuestro cuarto tibio y rosa
todo quedó como otra vez
y en cada adorno, en cada cosa
te sigo viendo como ayer.
Tu foto sobre la mesita
que es credencial de mi dolor,
y aquella hortensia ya marchita
que fue el cantar de nuestro amor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Remembranza (Remembranzas)"

How long the weeks are
when you’re not near me,
I don’t know what superhuman forces
give me courage away from you.
With the light of my hope dead,
I am like a castaway at sea,
I know I get lost in the distance
but I cannot resign myself.
Ah,
how sad it is to remember
after loving so much,
that joy that has passed…
Flower of an illusion,
our passion withered away.
Ah,
forget my disdain,
return, my sweet love,
to our love,
and it will bloom again,
our desire,
like that flower.

In our warm, pink room
everything remains as before,
and in each adornment, in each thing,
I continue to see you as yesterday.
Your photo on the little table
which is the credential of my pain,
and that already withered hydrangea,
that was the song of our love.

The recurring themes of longing and memory are palpably felt as the songwriter communicates the intense emotional landscape of being separated from a loved one. The imagery of harsh weeks passing slowly and the metaphor of being a ‘shipwrecked man’ at sea encapsulate the overwhelming sense of loss and despair faced in the absence of the beloved. This song speaks directly to the soul, portraying the light of hope dimmed by separation.



Symbolism in Remembranza (Remembranzas)
