Secreto de amor is a Tango written by Luis César Amadori and composed by Luis Gaulier.
Secreto de amor, which translates to ‘Secret of Love’ in English, is a poignant and reflective composition focusing on the internal conflict and vulnerabilities experienced in the realm of love. The lyrics express struggles between revealing and concealing emotions, fear of heartbreak, and the consequent choice to hide one’s deep affection. They depict a narrative of a lover who holds back their feelings to protect the delicate state of their love, encapsulating the complexity and emotional turbulence that often accompanies intimate relationships.
The song utilizes vibrant symbols to articulate profound sentiments. Phrases like “Palabras nunca dichas” (words never said) symbolize unspoken feelings, emphasizing the communication gaps between lovers. “Secreto de ternura, flor obscura de humildad” (Secret of tenderness, dark flower of humility) compares these hidden feelings to a humble, obscured flower, suggesting that these emotions are both beautiful and fragile, needing protection from the harshness symbolized by “un rayo de sol” (a ray of sun). This imagery enhances the theme of vulnerability and the delicate nature of love.
Recorded in 1936 in Argentina, Secreto de amor is set against a backdrop of dramatic social and political changes. During this era, Tango music often mirrored society’s emotional heartbeat, capturing the complexities of human emotions amidst evolving societal norms. The year marks a period of growing cosmopolitan attributes in Buenos Aires, with Tango music serving both as entertainment and an emotional outlet for the masses. The lyrics reflect a personal, introspective journey, resonating with a universal human condition, all set against the enigmatic allure of 1930s Argentina.
Luis César Amadori was an influential Argentine lyricist, director, and playwright, known for his significant contributions to the realm of Argentine theatre and cinema.
