Tus labios me dirán is a Tango written by Héctor Marcó and composed by Emilio Brameri.
The lyrics of “Tus labios me dirán” tell a poignant story of unrequited love and the pain of parting. The protagonist speaks directly to their beloved, lamenting their indifference and preparing to hide their own sorrow. The imagery of hiding tears and the request to remain silent about the farewell underscore a deep, personal heartache, enveloping the piece in a somber, elegiac quality that often characterizes tango music.
Significant symbolism in the lyrics includes the mention of “petals of light” and the comparison to a storm, which underscores the turbulence and fleeting beauty in the protagonist’s emotions. The repeated references to the lips of the beloved, which ultimately speak the final goodbye, serve as a poignant symbol of both love’s expression and its conclusion. This image encapsulates the essence of tango as both a dance and a music genre, characterized by its passionate but often melancholic nature.
Written in 1945, during a period of significant historical upheaval, “Tus labios me dirán” reflects a time of global reorganization in the aftermath of World War II. Argentina, although geographically distant from the main theaters of war, felt the war’s impacts socially and economically. The sense of an ending, a theme prominently portrayed in these lyrics, mirrors the wider sense of an era ending and the beginning of a new but uncertain future.
Héctor Marcó was an influential figure in the world of tango, known for his poignant and emotionally rich lyrics.
