Letra del Tango Rosa de fuego

Rosa de Fuego, los hombres la llamaban
Porque sus labios quemaban al besar,
Y eran sus ojos dos ascuas que abrasaban
Y era un peligro su amor ambicionar.
Cuantos lograron, por ella ser mirados
Y de sus labios bebieron el placer,
Todos quedaron como carbonizados
Entre los brazos de tan bella mujer…

Rosa de Fuego, feliz vivía
Rosa de Fuego, se divertía,
Hasta tenía vanidad
De su diabólica maldad…
Rosa de Fuego, los arruinaba
Rosa de Fuego, los calcinaba,
Y al ver sus víctimas caer…
Se reía la mujer…

Mas cierto día, cruzóse en su camino
Un hombre frío, de hielo el corazón,
Rosa de Fuego luchó contra su sino
E inútilmente jugó con su pasión.
El hombre aquel, de sangre de serpiente
De su mirada, el fuego resistió,
Y de sus labios aquel beso candente
Se dominaba y esclava se encontró…

Rosa de Fuego, ya no reía
Rosa de Fuego, se consumía,
Se le abrasaba el corazón
En el volcán de su pasión.
Y el hombre frío, la despreciaba
Y el hombre frío, la maltrataba,
Rosa de Fuego aún al morir…
Lo sentía reír…

English lyrics of the Tango "Rosa de fuego"

Fire Rose, men would call her
For her lips burned when she kissed,
And her eyes were embers that scalded
And it was perilous to covet her love.
Those who managed to be gazed upon by her
And sipped pleasure from her lips,
All were left charred
In the arms of such a beautiful woman…

Fire Rose, lived happily
Fire Rose, enjoyed herself,
She even took pride
In her devilish wickedness…
Fire Rose, she ruined them
Fire Rose, she burned them,
And seeing her victims fall…
The woman laughed…

But one day, there crossed her path
A cold man, with a heart of ice,
Fire Rose battled against her fate
And played with her passion in vain.
That man, with serpent’s blood
Resisted the fire of her gaze,
And from her lips that hot kiss
He overcame and found her enslaved…

Fire Rose, no longer laughed
Fire Rose, was consumed,
Her heart was scorched
In the volcano of her passion.
And the cold man, he scorned her
And the cold man, he mistreated her,
Fire Rose even in dying…
Felt him laugh…

Story behind the Tango Rosa de fuego

The tango “Rosa de fuego” narrates the tale of a woman, known by the nickname ‘Rosa de Fuego’ or ‘Rose of Fire’, for her burning allure and the dangerous passion she incites in men. The lyrics depict her life from the height of her seductive powers, where her beauty ensnares many, to her own tragic downfall when she encounters a cold, heartless man who ultimately becomes the cause of her demise.



Symbolism of Rosa de fuego

The title and recurring motif, “Rosa de fuego,” symbolizes the dual nature of beauty and danger, seduction and destruction. Her description as a rose suggests beauty, while fire indicates destruction and uncontrollable passion. The use of metaphors like “sus labios quemaban al besar” (her lips burned when kissing) and her comparison to a volcanic eruption in her final moments, underscore the intensity and destructive potential of her love and passion.



Rosa de fuego in historic Context

Recorded in Argentina in 1957, “Rosa de fuego” reflects the complex social dynamics of the time. During an era when tango music often explored themes of unrequited love, passion, and fatalism, this song weaves a dramatic story that offers a vivid portrait of tragic romance and stark human emotions. The cultural atmosphere of mid-20th century Argentina, with its rich tango heritage, serves as a fertile backdrop for such expressive and poignant storytelling.
