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 don’t know

how I could live

without recalling

the sublime emotions

of love

where I enjoyed tenderness

of a warm home

in which I was happy.

I don’t know

if there is another fertile land

like you,

of loves, glory, and unparalleled 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 far from you!

Beloved land,

in you I left

the ideals and dreams

of my being,

my sweet mother and she who

fills my heart

with love and faith.

Story behind the Tango Tierra querida

“Tierra querida” translates to “Beloved Land” in English, and through its lyrics, the song expresses a deep nostalgia and love for one’s homeland. Luis Diaz’s lyrics delve into the profound connection and affection the narrator holds for their place of origin, encapsulating the emotional depth of being away from a cherished environment. The song conveys feelings of longing and remembrance for the simplicity and beauty of life experienced in the narrator’s native land.



Symbolism of Tierra querida

Luis Diaz effectively uses symbolic language to evoke a sensory experience of the homeland. Key phrases such as “el rubí de tus auroras” (the ruby of your dawns) and “tu cielo puro y tu sol” (your pure sky and your sun) personify the land as a source of natural beauty and emotional warmth. These elements symbolize not just geographical features but also the essence of freedom and joy associated with them. The reference to “mi dulce madre” (my sweet mother) and a loved one who fills the heart with love and faith highlights the personal connections that make the homeland irreplaceable and revered.



Tierra querida in historic Context

Recorded in 1963 in Argentina, “Tierra querida” emerged during a period marked by political and social changes. This era in Argentina’s history was characterized by the rise and fall of political figures and differing ideologies that shaped the nation’s trajectory. During such times, a yearning for stability, unity, and a return to personal roots often becomes more pronounced, influencing artistic expressions. In this context, Luis Diaz’s nostalgic lyrics resonate with a collective sentiment for returning to foundational values and cherished personal and societal bonds.
