Sangre de mi sangre is a Tango written by Reinaldo Yiso, Juan Manuel Mañueco and composed by Juan Manuel Mañueco.
“Sangre de mi sangre” translates to “Blood of my blood” in English, a phrase expressing deep emotional entanglement and intrinsic bonds. The lyrics reveal a narrator tormented by an irresistible passion despite feeling the anguish and hurt arising from deceit and emotional detachment. The recurring acknowledgment of the painful yet undeniable attachment to the lover indicates a complex relationship where love and pain are intertwined.
Several symbolic elements emerge within the lyrics to amplify the emotional intensity. The imagery of one’s eyes constantly appearing stronger than personal pride (“Más fuerte que mi orgullo son tus ojos”) suggests an overwhelming affection that diminishes the self. Another poignant symbol is the comparison of the beloved to a dagger’s blade (“como hoja de un puñal”), which conveys the deep, piercing pain felt by the narrator. Lastly, the metaphor of the unreachable star (“Tú eres esa estrella inalcanzable”) in the lover’s smile represents an unattainable, heartbreaking but beautiful ideal.
Crafted in 1953 Argentina, a period marked by political and social changes under President Juan Domingo Perón, “Sangre de mi sangre” by Reinaldo Yiso and Juan Manuel Mañueco reflects the turbulent emotional undercurrents of its time. Argentine Tango, often a canvas for expressing intimate human feelings, serves here as a platform to project deep emotional struggles amidst societal shifts. This song, like many of its contemporaries, delves into themes of longing, disillusionment, and the enduring human spirit in the face of personal turmoil.
Reinaldo Yiso and Juan Manuel Mañueco were prominent figures in the Argentine tango scene. Yiso, particularly known for his lyricism, contributed significantly to the genre by penning deeply emotional and evocative songs.
