Letra del Tango Tierra querida

Yo no sé

cómo podría vivir

sin recordar

las emociones sublimes

del amor

donde ternuras gocé

de un tibio hogar

en el que yo fui feliz.

Yo no sé

que haya otra tierra fecunda

como tú

de amores, gloria y mujeres

sin igual,

de bellas flores y un cielo

en donde el sol

¡Irradia luz de libertad!



Tierra querida

en que nací

el rubí de tus auroras

no veré.

¡Tu cielo puro y tu sol

ya no podré gozar lejos de ti!



Tierra querida

en ti dejé

los ideales y ensueños

de mi ser,

mi dulce madre y la que

mi corazón

llena de amor y fe.

English lyrics of the Tango "Tierra querida"

I do not know

how I could live

without recalling

the sublime emotions

of love

where I enjoyed tender moments

of a warm home

where I was happy.

I do not know

of another fruitful land

like you

of love, glory, and peerless women,

of beautiful flowers and a sky

where the sun

radiates light of freedom!

Beloved land

where I was born

the ruby of your dawns

I will not see.

Your pure sky and your sun

I can no longer enjoy away from you!

Beloved land

in you I left

the ideals and dreams

of my being,

my sweet mother and the one who

fills my heart

with love and faith.

Story behind the Tango Tierra querida

“Tierra querida” reflects the deep emotional connections and nostalgia of an individual yearning for their homeland. Through the lyrics, the singer expresses a sense of loss and longing for the cherished memories associated with their land of origin. Themes of home, love, and nature consistently appear, painting a vivid picture of what the individual holds dear and what they pine for in their absence from it.



Symbolism of Tierra querida

The song uses powerful imagery and symbols to enhance its emotional depth. Words like “rubí de tus auroras” (ruby of your dawns) and references to unique aspects of the homeland like “tu cielo puro y tu sol” (your pure sky and your sun) symbolize the beauty and idealized perfection of the homeland. The repeated references to the land where the narrator experienced love, a warming home, and personal ideals magnify the pain of separation. The phrase “Irradia luz de libertad” (radiates light of freedom) not only highlights the warmth and liberating feeling associated with the homeland but also a profound sense of belonging and identity permanently tied to that place.



Tierra querida in historic Context

Written during World War II in 1944, “Tierra querida” emerges amidst a global backdrop of conflict and displacement. This setting likely influences the song’s themes of longing and nostalgia, as many during this time were displaced or longed for the peace of their homelands. Argentina itself, though geographically distant from the war’s epicenters, was not entirely isolated from its impacts, which could also reflect the sentiments of maintaining cultural identity and the remembrance of one’s roots during turbulent times.



Luis Diaz

Luis Diaz was a notable figure in the Argentine tango scene, known for his poignant lyrics that often explored themes of love, nostalgia, and homeland.
