Letra del Tango Tango del querer

Tango de la madrugada

Tango triste, tango lento,

El que en cada movimiento

Marca una desilusión.



En las notas melodiosas

De tu música argentina,

Puso el pueblo su divina

Queja de angustia y amor.



Tango del querer

Sentida canción

Voz de la mujer

De nuestra pasión



Melodía sublime del amanecer

Que estrechas dos almas,

Que estrechas dos almas

En un solo ser.



Tango del amanecer

Dulce tango de La Boca,

Que el recuerdo nos evoca

De una dorada ilusión.



Lo lento, suave cadencia

Y emerge para el que ama,

La dulce voz de la dama

Que nos habla al corazón.



Melodía sublime del amanecer

Que estrechas dos almas,

Que estrechas dos almas

En un solo ser.

English lyrics of the Tango "Tango del querer"

Tango of the dawn,

Sad tango, slow tango,

In each movement signifies

A disheartening disillusion.

In the melodious notes

Of your Argentine music,

The people have placed their divine

Lament of anguish and love.

Tango of love,

Heartfelt song,

Voice of the woman

Of our passion.

Sublime melody of the dawn

That brings two souls together,

That brings two souls together

Into one being.

Tango of the dawn,

Sweet tango of La Boca,

That evokes the memory

Of a golden illusion.

Its slow, gentle cadence

Rises for those in love,

The sweet voice of the lady

That speaks to our heart.

Sublime melody of the dawn

That brings two souls together,

That brings two souls together

Into one being.

Story behind the Tango Tango del querer

The “Tango del querer” is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and longing set to the melancholy rhythms of tango, which is deeply rooted in Argentine culture. The lyrics describe the emotional landscape of tango as a dance of despair that carries with it a narrative of disillusionment yet intertwined with infinite love. Through each slow, sad step, an expression of deep-seated feelings emerges, painted beautifully by the intertwined musicality and poetic words of Ricardo Lleras.



Symbolism of Tango del querer

The symbolism in “Tango del querer” lies primarily in its title and chorus, translating to “Tango of Loving/Being Loved.” This encapsulates the core essence of the tango as not just a dance, but an expression of intimate and sometimes painful emotion. The repeated lines, “Melodía sublime del amanecer / Que estrechas dos almas, / Que estrechas dos almas / En un solo ser,” meaning “Sublime melody of dawn / That binds two souls, / That binds two souls / Into a single being,” emphasize unity and connection, a merger of souls through the medium of tango’s melancholic tune.



Tango del querer in historic Context

Recorded in 1945, post-World War II, “Tango del querer” emerges at a time when Argentina was facing its own social and economic changes. This period shaped the tango into not just a dance but a reflection of society’s struggles, aspirations, and heartfelt emotions. Located in “La Boca,” a vibrant and historically significant neighborhood in Buenos Aires known for its strong European influences and as the birthplace of tango, the lyrics tug at the nostalgias associated with the area, transforming personal memory into a universally relatable melancholic nostalgia through its slow rhythm and expressive delivery.
