Señora Princesa is a Tango written by Roberto Lambertucci and composed by Atilio Bruni.
The song “Señora Princesa” expresses a profound and longing romantic narrative, where the speaker addresses their beloved, who is now referred to by others as “Señora Princesa.” This title, while seemingly grand, underscores a separation or elevation that has distanced her from the speaker. The lyrics reflect a mixture of admiration, melancholy, and a touch of resignation, as the speaker reminisces about their sincere love, now contrasted sharply against the superficial adulations the lady receives from others.
The title and repeated phrase “Señora Princesa” itself is symbolic, highlighting how the beloved is viewed by the world as elevated or royal, yet this adoration is shallow, lacking the depth of the speaker’s earnest affection. References to natural elements like “las estrellas” (the stars) and flowers which “se avergonzarán” (will be ashamed) next to her beauty, amplify her grace but also suggest a certain unattainability. The contrast between the celestial and earthly elements symbolizes the disparity between true love and superficial admiration.
Set in Argentina in 1957, “Señora Princesa” was composed during a vibrant era for tango music, yet also a period marked by political and social changes in the country. The song reflects typical tango themes of love, nostalgia, and the complexities of human relations, against a backdrop where such expressions were profoundly poignant. The historic context adds a layer of yearning and perhaps a reflective commentary on the contrasts between genuine emotional connections and societal or material gains.
Roberto Lambertucci is recognized for his contributions to the tango genre, often exploring themes of love, loss, and societal reflections through his lyrics.
