Letra del Tango Remolino

Vivo sin saber cómo puedo resistir

esta fiebre que se aferra a tu querer.

Son remolinos con tu nombre y mi locura,

con tu risa y mi amargura, que torturan mi vivir.

Quiero no querer lo que sufro por vencer

este viento de tristeza y soledad.

Y, nuevamente, me aprisiona el remolino

con tu sombra, con mi sino, sin salvación.



Tu voz…

vuelvo a escuchar tu voz.

Vuelves en el adiós,

y ¿para qué te quiero así?

y ¿para qué?

Si tu querer,

solo dejó mi corazón,

sin su latir,

sin ilusión.

Tu voz…

vuelvo a escuchar tu voz.

Vuelves en el adiós

y el remolino

con tu risa y mi rencor

y tu reír y mi dolor,

y yo que di todo mi amor.



Di mi corazón sin medir por qué lo di

y el amor me regaló su desamor.

Es el castigo que me da tanta bonanza

y me roba la esperanza de seguir mirándote.

Justo y pecador todo di y no pedí

nada más que la alegría de un adiós.

Y voy sufriendo como sufre el que ha pecado

porque quise y he soñado tu redención.

English lyrics of the Tango "Remolino"

I live without knowing how I can endure

this fever that clings to your love.

They are whirlwinds with your name and my madness,

with your laughter and my bitterness, that torture my being.

I want not to want what I suffer to overcome

this wind of sadness and solitude.

And, again, the whirlwind imprisons me

with your shadow, with my fate, without salvation.

Your voice…
I hear your voice again.
You return in the goodbye,
and why do I desire you like this?
and why?
If your loving,
only left my heart,
without its beat,
without illusion.
Your voice…
I hear your voice again.
You return in the goodbye
and the whirlwind
with your laughter and my resentment
and your laughing and my pain,
and I who gave all my love.

I gave my heart without measuring why I gave it
and love gifted me its unlove.
It is the punishment given by such abundance
and it steals the hope of continuing to look at you.
Just and sinner, I gave everything and asked for
nothing more than the joy of a goodbye.
And I go suffering as the one who has sinned suffers
because I loved and have dreamed of your redemption.

Remolino by José Rótulo

Remolino is a Tango written by José Rótulo and composed by Alfredo De Angelis.

Story behind the Tango Remolino

“Remolino,” which translates to “Whirlwind” in English, draws its thematic essence from the storm-like emotions of longing and heartache, which are characteristic of many traditional tangos. The lyrics delve deeply into feelings of suffering from love that has gone unreciprocated, manifesting in a whirlwind of emotions. José Rótulo brilliantly utilizes the metaphor of a whirlwind to describe the chaotic, swirling feelings of being caught in an unstoppable emotional turmoil.

Symbolism of Remolino

The recurring symbolism in “Remolino” is that of a whirlwind, embodying the uncontrollable, swirling force of the emotions described. Phrases like “Son remolinos con tu nombre y mi locura” (They are whirlwinds with your name and my madness) vividly conjure images of an internal emotional storm spurred by memories and unrequited love, highlighting Rótulo’s adept use of metaphor to deepen the song’s emotional impact. Furthermore, the juxtaposition of “tu risa y mi amargura” (your laughter and my bitterness) illuminates the stark contrast between the feelings of the lover and the beloved, enhancing the poignant theme of unreciprocated affection.

Remolino in Historic Context

Written in post-World War II Argentina in 1946, “Remolino” reflects a period of intense emotional and social upheaval. This era was marked by a complex mix of hope and a sense of loss, which is mirrored in the song’s themes of longing and despair. The composition not only resonates with personal longing but also subtly mirrors the societal attempts to find balance and hope in a time marked by rapid changes and uncertainties.
