Si escucharas mis amores is a Tango written by Héctor Marcó and composed by José García.
The lyrics of “Si escucharas mis amores” reflect a deep, unrequited love that speaks to both personal and universal experiences. The narrative voice expresses a yearning for his emotions and love to be heard and understood by the object of his affections. The imagery of returning swallows and sunsets provides a backdrop of constant and unchanging cycles of nature, against which the fleeting and often unreciprocated human emotions are portrayed.
The symbolism in “Si escucharas mis amores” weaves a rich texture of both heartache and nature’s beauty. Phrases like “Vuelven como ayer las golondrinas” and “La vida canta su verano en la floresta” evoke a sense of enduring nature and recurring life, which contrasts sharply with the ephemeral and often painful human experience of love depicted in the lyrics. The use of “siete llaves” symbolizes a secure, protected place in the heart, emphasizing the depth and vulnerability of the narrator’s emotions.
“Si escucharas mis amores” was created in Argentina in 1944, a period marked by political and social upheavals. In this era, Tango often served as a reflection of the sentiments of the local population. The longing and melancholy expressed in the lyrics might mirror a broader sense of uncertainty and nostalgia prevalent in Argentina’s socio-political climate of the time, making the tango not just a personal lament but a cultural expression of yearning and emotional turbulence.
Héctor Marcó was an influential Argentine lyricist known for his poignant and expressive contributions to the Tango genre.
