Letra del Vals Sueño de juventud

Sufres porque me aleja
la fe de un mañana
que busco afanoso
tan sólo por ti.
Y es un collar de estrellas
que tibio desgranan
tus ojos hermosos
llorándome así.

Sueño de juventud
que muere en tu adiós,
tímida remembranza
que añoraré,
canto de una esperanza
que ambicioné
acariciando tu alma
en mi soledad.
Mi pobre corazón
no sabe pensar,
y al ver que lo alejan de ti
sólo sabe llorar,
sólo sabe gemir,
sangrando al morir
en tu adiós…

Lírico amor primero,
caricia y tortura,
castigo y dulzura
de mi amanecer.
Yo acunaré en un canto
tu inmensa ternura
buscando en mi cielo
tu imagen de ayer.

English lyrics of the Vals "Sueño de juventud"

You suffer because a faith in tomorrow,
Which I seek eagerly just for you, draws me away.
And it’s a necklace of stars
That your beautiful eyes warmly scatter
While crying over me like this.

Dream of youth
That dies in your goodbye,
Timid remembrance
That I will yearn for,
Song of a hope
I craved,
Caressing your soul
In my solitude.
My poor heart
Cannot think,
And seeing it pushed away from you
It only knows how to cry,
Only knows how to moan,
Bleeding as it dies
In your goodbye…

Lyrical first love,
Caress and torture,
Punishment and sweetness
Of my dawn.
I will cradle in a song
Your immense tenderness,
Searching in my sky
For your image from yesterday.

Story behind the Tango Sueño de juventud

The tango “Sueño de juventud” (Dream of Youth) expresses a poignant narrative of loss and longing—a theme common in tango music, reflective of the emotional depths explored in the lyrics. The song utilizes a first-person narrative, where the speaker addresses unfulfilled dreams and the acute pain of farewell. With lyrics like “Sufres porque me aleja la fe de un mañana que busco afanoso tan sólo por ti,” the protagonist laments the suffering caused by the pursuit of a hopeful future, solely for the sake of their loved one. The recurring themes here are sacrifice, unrequited love, and the inevitable sadness of parting.



Symbolism of Sueño de juventud

Sueño de juventud is rich in both symbolism and imagery. Phrases like “es un collar de estrellas que tibio desgranan tus ojos hermosos llorándome así” employ celestial imagery to signify something beautiful yet distant, possibly the unrealized dreams or the untouchable nature of the object of the speaker’s affection. The synthesis of warm stars being shed by beautiful crying eyes captures the bittersweet essence of love that is deeply felt but full of longing and sorrow. Additionally, the contrasting elements of “caricia y tortura, castigo y dulzura” symbolize the dual nature of love—its capacity to heal and hurt.
