Letra del Tango Sollozos

Mi guitarrita querida

amiga de mis amores.



Vuelve en la noche hoy, junto a la reja,

el dulce trino; amor de payador,

aroma de jazmín y de glicina,

luna, canción y ella con su amor.

Fue la guitarra así, mi compañera,

la que llenó mis noches de ilusión,

la que alegró mi vida de bohemia,

y encadenó mis sueños a su amor.



Lloré, reí, viví, sufrí,

buscando dulce prenda,

canté, soñé, perdí, gané,

y no encontré la huella.

Al fin triunfé, bebí su amor,

me encariñé a sus trenzas

y la sentí en mi vida

junto a mi corazón.



Como un recuerdo que ha vuelto otra vez,

que yo siempre alenté, que yo siempre soñé.

Hoy te busco como al sueño azul,

con deseo de alcanzar tu amor,

como una imagen que no borraré

la que siempre guardé

y que nunca olvidé

el recuerdo que tu amor me dio,

es nostálgico querer.

English lyrics of the Tango "Sollozos"

My dear little guitar
friend of my loves.

Return tonight, by the fence,
the sweet trill; love of a troubadour,
scent of jasmine and wisteria,
moon, song, and her with her love.
Thus, the guitar was my companion,
that filled my nights with dreams,
that brightened my bohemian life,
and chained my dreams to its love.

I cried, I laughed, I lived, I suffered,
searching for a sweet keepsake,
I sang, I dreamed, I lost, I won,
and yet found no trace.
At last, I triumphed, I drank her love,
I grew fond of her tresses
and felt her in my life
close to my heart.

Like a memory that has returned once more,
which I always nurtured, which I always dreamed of.
Today I search for you like the blue dream,
with a desire to reach your love,
like an image that I won’t erase,
one that I always kept
and never forgot —
the memory that your love gave me,
is nostalgic longing.

Story behind the Tango Sollozos

“Sollozos” or “Sobs” in English, delves deeply into the emotional journey of unrequited love and the nostalgia that accompanies memories of past affections. The lyrics depict a person serenading their loved one with a guitar, underlining the companionship and comfort that the instrument provides in moments of solitude. This poignant narrative of love and longing is delivered through soul-stirring melodies carried by the subtle strings of the guitar, a common symbol of romantic expression in Latino culture.

Symbolism of Sollozos

Key phrases such as “Mi guitarrita querida, amiga de mis amores” (My beloved little guitar, friend of my loves) not only idolize the musical instrument as a confidant but also signify music as a timeless refuge for the heartbroken. The recurring motifs of natural elements like “luna, canción” (moon, song) create a romantic backdrop, further enhancing the depth of yearning for a lost love. The protagonist fluctuates between emotions – crying, laughing, suffering, and ultimately triumphing by engulfing in the sweet embrace of love remembered.

Sollozos in Historic Context

Produced in 1967 in Argentina, a period rife with political and cultural evolution, “Sollozos” can be seen as an escape or a soothing balm to the socio-political unrest. The theme of seeking solace and understanding through music is a reflection of the era’s need for personal and societal healing. Tango, traditionally a dance of the people, here transcends its roots, becoming a medium for profound personal expression and connection.
