Letra del Tango Te busco

Sos una estrella fugitiva
que cruza el cielo de mi mente
cuando en mi sueño mas ardiente hecho a volar
la sincera confesión de mi tierno ideal.

Pero entre zarzas de imposibles
me voy rindiendo tajo a tajo
y en caudaloso río abajo
zozobra el alma al despertar.

Te busco, te llamo !
En mis noches te reclamo
y a la puerta de la muerte llegaré
buscándote porque te amo.

Te busco, te busco,
cual su nido busca el ave.
Como al beso de mi madre
busco en las horas que devoras mi pasión.

English lyrics of the Tango "Te busco"

You are a fleeting star,
that crosses the sky of my mind.
When in my most ardent dream, I take flight
with the sincere confession of my tender ideal.

But through thorns of impossibles,
I yield, stroke by stroke,
and in a rushing river down,
my soul capsizes upon waking.

I search for you, I call you!
In my nights, I claim you,
and to death’s door I will reach,
searching for you because I love you.

I search for you, I search for you,
as a bird seeks its nest.
Like the kiss from my mother,
I seek in the hours that devour my passion.

Story behind the Tango Te busco

“Te busco” translates to “I look for you” in English, and the lyrics poetically narrate a profound search for an elusive love. The protagonist of the song grapples with a love that continuously escapes them, akin to a fugitive star that crosses the sky of their mind. This search intensifies in the dream state, where desires manifest most ardently, only to confront the harsh thorns of reality—expressed as the ‘impossible brambles’ which impede the search, causing the soul to flounder upon awakening. The emotional refrain, “Te busco, te llamo” showcases the desperation and continual yearning for this lost love, underlining the theme of unrequited love and eternal searching.



Symbolism of Te busco

The song makes use of celestial imagery, notably in comparing the love interest to a ‘fugitive star,’ symbolizing both brilliance and unattainability. This metaphor extends to ideas of fate and destiny, common in tango lyrics, which often depict love as a cosmic force destined to elude the seeker. Furthermore, the reference to an ‘impossible bramble’ adds a layer of struggle and pain to the search, indicating that this quest for love is fraught with challenges that slice through the seeker’s soul, reflecting the pain of unattainable desires. These symbolic elements enhance the emotional depth of the song, drawing listeners into the poignant reality of the narrator’s longing.



Te busco in historic Context

Created and recorded in Argentina in 1941, “Te busco” was birthed during a pivotal era in Argentine history, marked by political upheaval and the dawning of Peronism. This period was characterized by a profound social transformation and an intense sense of national identity, themes often reflected in the arts and particularly in tango music. The yearning and searching motif in the song could metaphorically mirror the societal search for direction and identity during these turbulent times. The emotional resilience and persistent pursuit encapsulated in the lyrics resonate with the broader cultural atmosphere of striving against adversity that defined Argentina in the early 1940s.
