Letra del Vals Señora Princesa

Te dirán por doquiera que vayas: “Señora Princesa”.

Te dirán que la virgen morena te dio su mirar.

Las estrellas celosas… mirarán tu belleza

y a tu lado las flores más bellas se avergonzarán.

Pero sé que estarán en tu vida mis pobres canciones

y esos ojos que yo tanto admiro se humedecerán.

Porque nada es más lindo en la vida

que quererse, adorarse y besarse

y por eso: “Señora Princesa”

no me olvidarás…



No me extraña que ahora te llamen “Señora Princesa”

pero nunca podrán ofrecerte mi sinceridad.

Llegarán a tu oído… los más lindos piropos,

pero nadie sabrá comprenderte, en tu intimidad.

Hoy podrán engañar a tus sueños, en brazos extraños

pero el tiempo que todo lo sabe, dirá la verdad.

Porque sólo es eterno en la vida

el amor que es sincero y se aprecia

lo demás, mi “Señora Princesa”,

asoma y se va…



Qué te importa que todos te digan “Señora Princesa”

si en su mundo mendigo y perverso está el interés.

La belleza de tu alma… la despierta tu cuerpo

lo demás es mentira egoísta que enciende la sed.

En la corte de oro y de plata que todos te ofrecen,

hallarás el inmenso castigo de la falsedad,

porque nada es más lindo en la vida

que el amor que es sincero y se aprecia

lo demás, mi “Señora Princesa”,

asoma y se va.

English lyrics of the Vals "Señora Princesa"

Everywhere you go, they will say: “Lady Princess.”

They’ll say the dark-haired virgin bestowed upon you her gaze.

Jealous stars… will marvel at your beauty,

and beside you, the fairest flowers will blush in shame.

But I know that my humble songs will linger in your life,

and those eyes I so admire will glisten with tears.

Because nothing in life is more beautiful

than to love, adore, and kiss one another,

and for that reason: “Lady Princess,”

you will not forget me…

It’s no surprise that now they call you “Lady Princess”,

but they’ll never offer you my honesty.

The finest compliments will reach your ears,

but no one will understand you, in your privacy.

Today, they may deceive your dreams in unfamiliar arms,

but time, which knows all, will tell the truth.

Because only the love that is sincere and cherished

is eternal in life,

the rest, my “Lady Princess,”

comes and goes…

Why care that everyone calls you “Lady Princess”,

if in their sordid, selfish world, interest prevails?

The beauty of your soul… your body awakens,

everything else is a selfish lie igniting thirst.

In the court of gold and silver that everyone offers you,

you will find the vast punishment of deceit,

because nothing is more beautiful in life

than the love that is sincere and cherished,

the rest, my “Lady Princess,”

comes and goes.

Señora Princesa by Roberto Lambertucci

Señora Princesa is a Tango written by Roberto Lambertucci and composed by Atilio Bruni.



Story behind the Tango Señora Princesa

The lyrics of “Señora Princesa” are a poignant lament about love, idealization, and reality. The speaker addresses a beloved who has risen in status, perhaps metaphorically, becoming a ‘princess’ in society’s eyes. This transformation brings with it adoration and praises (“Te dirán por doquiera que vayas: ‘Señora Princesa'”), yet the speaker hints that this adulation is surface-level, lacking the depth of true understanding and intimacy which he offers (“pero nunca podrán ofrecerte mi sinceridad”).



Symbolism of Señora Princesa

The phrase “Señora Princesa” is repeatedly used to symbolize both adulation and the separation it creates. The comparison to celestial and floral beauty emphasizes the superficiality of the world’s adoration, while the speaker’s references to his “pobres canciones” symbolize a humble, genuine affection that persists in memory even amidst this opulence. “La belleza de tu alma… la despierta tu cuerpo” stresses the disparity between external beauty and inner worth, criticizing the shallow societal values.



Señora Princesa in historic Context

Written in Argentina in 1957, “Señora Princesa” reflects a period where tango was intertwined heavily with the emotional and cultural identity of Argentinians. Post-World War II Argentina faced significant political and economic changes, with a growing focus on urban life and societal roles. The lyrics can be seen as commentary on the estrangement and disillusionment felt by those navigating the changing social landscape, where outward appearances often masked underlying truths.
