Letra del Vals Rosa de otoño

Tu eres la vida, la vida dulce,

llena de encantos y lucidez;

tú me sostienes y me conduces

hacia la cumbre de tu altivez.



Tú eres constancia, yo soy paciencia;

tú eres ternura, yo soy piedad

Tú representas la independencia,

yo simbolizo la libertad.



Tú bien lo sabes que estoy enfermo

y en mi semblante claro se ve

que ya de noche casi no duermo,

no duermo nada ¿sabes por qué?



Porque yo sueño cómo te aprecio,

de que a mi lado te he de tener…

Son sueños malos, torpes y necios,

pero, mi vida, ¡qué voy a hacer!



Yo sufro mucho, me duele el alma

y es tan penosa mi situación

que muchas veces, por buscar calma,

llevo mis dedos al diapasón…



De tu desprecio nunca hagas gala

porque, si lo haces, ¡pobre de mí!…

Quereme siempre, no seas tan mala…

Vamos, ingrata, ¡no seas así!

English lyrics of the Vals "Rosa de otoño"

You are life, the sweet life,
full of charms and clarity;
you hold and guide me
to the summit of your highness.

You are steadfast, I am patience;
you are tenderness, I am mercy.
You stand for independence,
I symbolize freedom.

You well know that I am sick
and it’s clear by looking at my face
that at night I hardly sleep,
I don’t sleep at all, do you know why?

Because I dream of how I cherish you,
that by my side I will have you…
Such bad, clumsy, foolish dreams,
but, my love, what am I to do!

I suffer a lot, my soul is in pain
and my situation is so painful
that many times, to find peace,
I bring my fingers to the fretboard…

Never flaunt your disdain
because, if you do, pity me!…
Always love me, don’t be so cruel…
Come on, ungrateful one, don’t be like that!

Story behind the Tango Rosa de otoño

“Rosa de otoño,” which translates to “Autumn Rose” in English, beautifully intertwines themes of love, suffering, and longing with a poignant sense of appreciation and plea for affection. The lyrics portray a dialogue of the soul, where one expresses deep affection and the torments of unreciprocated love. This tango, using the metaphor of an autumn rose, speaks to the fragile beauty that thrives briefly yet brightly before descending into the inevitable fall season, symbolizing the lifecycle of a romantic relationship from bloom to fade.



Symbolism of Rosa de otoño

The lyrics use metaphors like “vida dulce” (sweet life), representing the beloved and the joys she brings, and “altivez” (pride or haughtiness), reflecting the unreachable nature of the love interest. The emotional suffering of the narrator is profound as he struggles with sleepless nights caused by his unyielding thoughts of love. The term “independencia” (independence) symbolizes a state of self-sufficiency which the narrator admires in his beloved, contrasting with “libertad” (freedom) which he embodies, perhaps suggesting a desire for emotional release from his feelings.



Rosa de otoño in historic Context

Recorded in 1930, “Rosa de otoño” emerged during a vibrant period in Argentine history when Tango was a dominant cultural force that both reflected and shaped the emotional landscape of its people. This era saw Tango lyrics often revolving around themes of disillusionment, love, and social commentaries, mirroring a society grappling with modernization and complex social dynamics. The lyrics of “Rosa de otoño” capture the zeitgeist of the era, displaying a melodic recount of personal affliction and societal attitudes towards love and rejection.
