Letra del Tango Sueño querido

Los veinte abriles daba yo

y ya deseaba recorrer el mundo

que me ilusionó.

Mi pobre vieja en su pesar

lloró de pena,

y en alas de mi sueño

abandoné el hogar.

Mi porvenir interrogué,

y aunque me dijo el sabio que era oscuro

proseguí con fe.

Soñaba al son de mis primeros años

sin ver los desengaños

pero desperté.



Sueño querido de mi tierna y bella juventud,

fuiste espantado por la negra ingratitud.

Sólo me queda de tu mágico esplendor,

el yelmo roto de triste soñador.

Por eso cuando llega a mi alma el lúgubre doblar

de las campanas me dan ganas de rezar.

Sueño querido,

ha pasado tu carroza

para siempre ya te has ido

y no volverás más.



Quise ser bueno y sólo fui

romántico Quijote para el mundo

que se rió de mí.

En la amistad y en el amor

fui traicionado.

Y en la mitad del pecho me clavó el dolor.

Todo ilusión tan sólo fue

que se esfumó con la primera estrella

del amanecer.

Casi me pierdo en esa noche oscura

soñando en las alturas,

pero desperté.

English lyrics of the Tango "Sueño querido"

At twenty,spring I gave away
and longed to travel the world
that had enchanted me.
My poor mother in her sorrow
cried in pain,
and on the wings of my dream
I left home.

I questioned my future,
and though the wise man said it was obscure
I continued with faith.
I dreamed to the tune of my early years
not seeing the disappointments
but then I woke.

Beloved dream of my tender and beautiful youth,
you were scared away by black ingratitude.
All that remains of your magical splendor,
is the broken helmet of a sad dreamer.
So when the gloomy tolling
of the bells reaches my soul, it makes me want to pray.
Beloved dream,
your coach has passed
you are gone forever
and will not return.

I wanted to be good and only was
a romantic Don Quixote to the world
that laughed at me.
In friendship and in love
I was betrayed.
And pain pierced the middle of my chest.
All was only an illusion
that vanished with the first star
of dawn.
I almost lost myself in that dark night
dreaming at the heights,
but then I woke.

Story behind the Tango Sueño querido

“Sueño querido” translates to “Beloved Dream” in English, reflecting a wistful longing for the youthful aspirations and dreams once held dear. The lyrics poignantly narrate the journey of a young individual venturing away from home, fueled by naive dreams and a desire to conquer the world, only to encounter disillusionment and betrayal. This Tango captures the harsh realities faced when idealistic dreams collide with the practicalities and betrayals of the world. It’s a reflective dialogue with the youthful self, mourning the loss of innocence and the harsh lessons learned along the way.


Symbolism of Sueño querido

The use of vivid imagery in “Sueño querido” enhances its emotional resonance. References to “la negra ingratitud” (the black ingratitude) symbolize the profound betrayal experienced, casting a dark shadow over the once bright aspirations. The broken helmet of a sad dreamer, “el yelmo roto de triste soñador,” serves as a metaphor for shattered dreams and lost ideals, reminiscent of Don Quixote’s unrealistic romanticism and subsequent defeat. Furthermore, the mention of church bells, typically rung during funerals, symbolizes mourning the death of one’s dreams, invoking an urge to pray, perhaps as a plea for solace or redemption.


Sueño querido in historic Context

Set in Argentina in 1932, a time marked by political instability and economic hardship following the worldwide impact of the Great Depression, “Sueño querido” emerges as a narrative deeply intertwined with the struggles of its era. The disillusionment expressed in the Tango may reflect the broader societal disenchantment of the time, as many faced poverty, betrayal, and the collapse of dreams amidst economic decline. The reference to embarking on a journey “to conquer the world” only to face betrayal and loss echoes the collective hardships and the pursuit of elusive prosperity during this turbulent period in history.
