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"

I gave my twenty springs
and already wished to explore the world
that captivated me.

My poor mother in her sorrow
wept with grief,
and on the wings of my dream,
I left home.

I questioned my future,
and although the wise man said it was dim,
I continued with faith.

I dreamt to the tune of my early years
blind to disillusionments,
but I awoke.

Beloved dream of my tender and beautiful youth,
you were frightened away by stark ingratitude.
All that remains of your magical splendor
is the broken helmet of a sad dreamer.
That’s why, when the gloomy toll
of the bells reaches my soul, I feel the urge to pray.
Beloved dream,
your carriage has passed by;
you have gone forever
and will not return.

I wished to be good and was only
a romantic Don Quixote for the world
that laughed at me.
In friendship and in love,
I was betrayed.
And pain pierced me through the heart.
Everything was just an illusion
that vanished with the first morning star.
I almost lost myself in that dark night
dreaming at the heights,
but I awoke.

Story behind the Tango Sueño querido

“Sueño querido” translates to “Beloved Dream” in English, revealing the theme of cherished but lost aspirations. The lyrics narrate the story of a young man, full of hope and dreams, embarking on a journey to explore the world, leaving behind his distressed mother. As the narrative unfolds, his journey of self-discovery transforms into disillusionment, encountering ingratitude and betrayal, symbolizing the painful confrontation with reality.

Symbolism of Sueño querido

This tango makes extensive use of metaphorical language to deepen the emotional impact. The “roto yelmo de triste soñador” (broken helmet of a sad dreamer) symbolizes the destruction of youthful idealism, referencing the armor of a knight, potentially inspired by Don Quixote — pointing to failed heroism and idealistic but futile ventures. The references to the “negra ingratitud” (black ingratitude) and “lúgubre doblar de las campanas” (gloomy tolling of the bells) evoke a sense of mourning for lost innocence and the stark realities that replace youthful naïveté.

Sueño querido in historic Context

Recorded in 1933, “Sueño querido” reflects the socio-economic atmosphere of Argentina during the early 20th century, marked by significant political and social changes. This period was also an era of massive immigration in Argentina, which could mirror the song’s themes of journey, hope, and subsequent disenchantment. The pain and disillusionment expressed in the lyrics resonate with the broader experiences of many Argentinians during this turbulent period, making the tango a poignant expression of collective emotional landscapes.
