Letra del Tango Rosicler

Un tango más, un gorrión de barrio viejo
llega moliendo su cruel desilusión.
Rodando van los recuerdos de mi vida,
mi vida gris que no tiene ya canción.
Dónde estarán los que fueron compañeros,
mi amor primero de un claro anochecer,
y ese silbido llamando de la esquina
hacia el calor de aquel viejo café.

Quién sabe dónde está
lo que perdí, loco de afán.
Del tiempo que pasó
sólo quedó un tango más.
Tan sólo un tango más que trae
fracaso de no ser,
cansancio de mi andar.
La vida que al rodar, sólo dejó,
un tango y nada más.

Un tango más, un gorrión de barrio viejo
tiembla en la sombra doliente del ayer.
Un tango más, y el juguete de la luna
vuelve a mentir en el triste anochecer.
Mi juventud la quemé en la cruz viajera
en la quimera de andar, siempre de andar.
Buscan mis ansias calor de primavera
y sólo hay un tango y nada más.

English lyrics of the Tango "Rosicler"

One more tango, a sparrow from the old neighborhood
arrives grinding its cruel disillusion.
My life’s recollections roll by,
my gray life that no longer has a song.
Where are those who were my mates,
my first love on a bright evening,
and that whistle calling from the corner
towards the warmth of that old café.

Who knows where
what I lost in eager madness lies.
From the time that passed
only one more tango remains.
Just one more tango that brings
the failure of not being,
the weariness of my walk.
The life that rolling on, left behind,
a tango and nothing more.

One more tango, a sparrow from the old neighborhood
trembles in the sorrowful shadow of yesterday.
One more tango, and the moon’s plaything
lies again in the sad evening.
I burned my youth on the wandering cross
in the chimera of walking, always walking.
My yearnings seek the warmth of spring
and there is only a tango and nothing more.

Story behind the Tango Rosicler

The tango “Rosicler” captures a poignant narrative of longing and loss through its evocative lyrics. The song is a reflection on memories and places of the past, revolving around the central theme of life’s fleeting nature. Through the metaphor of the tango itself and images of old neighborhoods, the lyrics lament the inevitable passage of time and the lost youthful dreams. “Un tango más, un gorrión de barrio viejo” refers to yet another tango, a sparrow from the old neighborhood, suggesting the small, almost insignificant reminiscences that persist despite life’s changes.



Symbolism of Rosicler

In “Rosicler,” symbolism is richly used to deepen the emotional expression. The tango, often a dance of passion and energy, here symbolizes the residue of a past life—a recurring reminder of what once was and what is lost. The sparrow, a small and common bird, represents ordinary yet cherished memories. The repeated reference to the term “un tango más” (just one more tango) illustrates the continuous cycle of memory and nostalgia, emphasizing the repetitive and sometimes mundane progression of life. Key phrases like “la vida que al rodar, sólo dejó, un tango y nada más” (life that rolling on, left only a tango and nothing more) encapsulate the essence of fleeting time and the sparse remnants that life leaves behind.



Rosicler in Historic Context

“Rosicler” was created in Argentina in 1986, a time when the country was transitioning from periods of political instability and dictatorship into a democratic form of governance. This period marked a significant cultural reflection as society contended with the memories of political and economic turmoil. Within this context, the lyrics’ focus on loss, nostalgia, and the decay of former realities resonates deeply. The mournful nostalgia may also reflect a broader societal yearning for stability and the melancholic acceptance of a tumultuous past.
