Letra del Vals Tu olvido

Han brotado otra vez los rosales
junto al muro en el viejo jardín,
donde tu alma selló un juramento,
amor de un momento
que hoy lloro su fin.
Tierno llanto de amor fuera el tuyo
que en tus ojos divinos bebí.
Ojos falsos que así me engañaron
al ver que lloraron los míos por ti.

Mas los años al pasar me hicieron
comprender la triste realidad.
Que tan solo es ilusión,
lo que amamos de verdad.
Sin embargo cuando en los rosales
renacen las flores
los viejos amores
con sus madrigales
tornan como entonces a mi corazón.

Cuando vuelvan las noches de invierno
y se cubra de nieve el jardín,
si estás triste sabrás acordarte
de aquel que al amarte
no supo mentir.
No es mi canto un reproche a tu olvido,
ni un consuelo te vengo a pedir,
sólo al ver el rosal florecido:
el sueño perdido lo vuelvo a vivir.

English lyrics of the Vals "Tu olvido"

Once again, the rosebushes have sprouted
next to the wall in the old garden,
where your soul made a promise,
love for a moment
that today I mourn its end.
Tender was your weeping in love,
which I drank from your divine eyes.
Deceptive eyes that thus betrayed me,
seeing mine cry for you.

But as the years passed, they made me
understand the sad reality.
That it is only an illusion—
what we truly love.
Yet, when in the rosebushes
the flowers reappear,
the old loves
with their madrigals
return just like before to my heart.

When the winter nights return
and the garden is covered with snow,
if you feel sad, you will remember
the one who, loving you,
did not know how to lie.
My song is not a reproach to your forgetting,
nor am I seeking any consolation,
only, upon seeing the rosebush in bloom:
the lost dream, I relive again.

Story behind the Tango Tu olido

The tango “Tu olvido” articulates themes of love and heartbreak, manifested through the imagery of a blooming rose bush by an old garden wall, symbolizing the perennial nature of attachment and memory. The lyrics reflect on a past love, interweaving feelings of betrayal and disillusionment with the enduring hopefulness brought about by nature’s cycles.



Symbolism of Tu olvido

The recurring theme of the blooming rose bushes in “Tu olvido” represents both the enduring beauty of love and the pain of a remembered betrayal. Roses, traditionally associated with love, are used here to bring forth a nostalgic remembrance of a love that was once pledged but ultimately broken. This contrast between the beauty of the roses and the singer’s pain enhances the emotional complexity of the lyrics. The winter setting, marked by the snow covering the garden, symbolizes the coldness and death of the love once shared, providing a stark seasonal juxtaposition to the earlier revival described in the spring.



Tu olvido in historic Context

“Tu olvido” was recorded in 1936, a time of political and cultural turmoil in Argentina. This period, marked by the Infamous Decade, was characterized by political corruption and social upheaval. The nostalgic and reflective nature of the song might mirror the broader societal longing for stability and the return of ‘better times’. This historical context likely influenced the emotive and reflective tone of the tango, encouraging listeners to ponder their own sentiments of loss and remembrance in a changing world.
