Letra del Vals Solita y sola

Ronda que traen el recuerdo
Las tiernas horas de mi niñez,
Cuando jugaba en el patio
De los abuelos más de una vez.

Dulce oración de mi infancia
Vuelvo a evocarte con emoción,
Horas de ayer que se alejan
Pero queda su canción:

Dejenla sola, solita y sola
Que la quiero ver bailar,
Saltar y brincar, andar por los aires
Y moverse con mucho donaire.

Suave bonanza que en lontananza
Hoy palpita de ansiedad,
Sentirse arrullar, volver a esa edad
Quién pudiera de nuevo empezar.

English lyrics of the Vals "Solita y sola"

Round that brings the memory
Of the tender hours of my childhood,
When I played in the courtyard
Of my grandparents more than once.

Sweet prayer of my infancy
I evoke you again with emotion,
Hours of yesterday that drift away
But their song remains:

Leave her alone, alone and lonely
I want to see her dance,
Jump and hop, walk through the air
And move with much grace.

Gentle calmness that in the distance
Now throbs with anxiety,
To feel lullabies, to return to that age
Who could start anew.

Solita y sola by Julio Jorge Nelson

Solita y sola is a Tango written by Julio Jorge Nelson and composed by Roberto Nievas Blanco.



Story behind the Tango Solita y sola

The lyrics of “Solita y sola” bring us poignant evocations of childhood memories through the lens of maturity. The song begins with a nostalgic recall of the innocent playtimes in the grandparents’ yard—a universal symbol of a carefree, protected young age. As the song progresses, it reflects a longing for the simplicity and unburdened moments of youth, expressed through the dance alone, solita y sola, suggesting a solitary but profound engagement with the past.



Symbolism of Solita y sola

The title “Solita y sola,” translating to “Alone and lonely” in English, captivates the essence of the song—dancing alone not out of joy, but as a reconnecting ritual to a nothingness of past times. The repetitive plea to let her be “solita y sola” portrays a desire to be left in peace with one’s memories, undisturbed. The act of dancing, traditionally a communal or paired activity, when done alone, encases layers of symbolism about self-reflection and personal joy.



Solita y sola in historic Context

Crafted in 1942, amidst the global turmoil of World War II, “Solita y sola” emerges not only as an ode to personal nostalgia but perhaps as a cultural expression of seeking solace in memories during troubled times. Argentina, although geographically distant from the theatres of war, was not untouched by the global shifts and economic strains. The song’s themes may resonate with the wider longing for peace and simpler times, which might have been shared by many during these tumultuous periods.
