Letra del Tango Tu beso y nada más

A veces tu beso, es un latigazo
Que muerde las carnes, haciendo sangrar,
En otras, tu beso, parece de raso
Tan suave, tan tibio, que me hace soñar.
Ortiga, caricia, perfume o veneno
Lo mismo lo quiero, lo mismo me da,
Sin él, sin tu beso, de pena me muero
Yo llevo en mi sangre, tu beso inmortal.

Tu beso, roja llama, siempre arde
Y en el río de mi sangre
Cada vez lo siento más.
Tu beso que me quema a fuego lento
Con las llamas de un tormento
Más ardiente y pasional.
¡Qué importa! Que en su cárcel viva preso
Quiero morir con tu beso
Con tu beso y nada más.

Recitado:
Mas, frente a tus labios, olvido tu agravio,
Pregunto temblando: ¿Es mío tu amor?
Y al ver que me ofreces de nuevo tus labios
Los beso mil veces con loca pasión…

English lyrics of the Tango "Tu beso y nada más"

Sometimes your kiss is a whip lash
That bites the flesh, making it bleed,
At other times, your kiss seems of silk
So soft, so warm, that it makes me dream.
Nettle, caress, perfume or poison,
I want it all the same, it matters not,
Without it, without your kiss, I’d die of sorrow,
In my blood carries your immortal kiss.

Your kiss, a red flame, always burning,
And in the river of my blood
I feel it ever more.
Your kiss that burns me slowly
With the flames of torment
More fiery and passionate.
What does it matter! If in its prison I live trapped,
I want to die with your kiss,
With your kiss and nothing more.

Spoken:
But, in front of your lips, I forget your hurt,
I ask trembling: Is your love mine?
And seeing that you offer your lips again
I kiss them a thousand times with mad passion…

Story behind the Tango Tu beso y nada más

The lyrics of “Tu beso y nada más” explore the profound and fluctuating emotions related to the narrator’s experience of love, portrayed through the metaphor of a kiss. The tango oscillates between portraying the kiss, or ‘beso’, as both a source of exquisite pain and sublime delight, suggesting a tumultuous romantic relationship. The lyrical content strikingly captures the ecstasy and the agony of love, asserting that despite the pain, the kiss itself is an immortal element carried within the narrator’s blood, emphasizing an undying connection to the beloved.



Symbolism of Tu beso y nada más

The kiss in “Tu beso y nada más” symbolizes more than a physical connection; it represents the entirety of the relationship’s impact on the narrator. Described at times as a “lash” that causes bleeding, and at others as soft as silk fabric, the kiss exemplifies the dual nature of love – both hurting and healing. Phrases like “roja llama,” a red flame, and the assertion that the kiss is both “perfume or poison” enrich the song’s emotional texture, highlighting the passionate, consuming, and sometimes destructive nature of love.



Tu beso y nada más in historic Context

The tango “Tu beso y nada más” was penned in 1961, during a culturally rich but politically turbulent period in Argentina. This was a time when tango music deeply reflected the emotional and social narratives of the people. The song’s expressive lyrics and dramatic themes likely resonated with an audience familiar with the highs and lows of love, set against a backdrop of social and political unrest. The record’s date and cultural context suggest that its heightened emotional expression could have offered an outlet for public sentiment during uncertain times.
