Letra del Vals Un placer

Linda mariposa
tú eres mi alegría
y tus colores de rosa
te hacen tan hermosa
que en el alma mía
tu imagen quedó.

Por eso a tu reja
hoy vengo a cantarte,
para decirte, mi diosa,
que eres muy hermosa
y no puedo olvidarte
que antes de dejarte
prefiero la muerte
que sólo con verte
es para mí un placer.

Sin tu amor ya no puedo vivr.
¡Oh! ven pronto no me hagas penar.
De tus labios yo quiero sentir
el placer que se siente al besar.
Y por eso en mi canto te ruego
que apagues el fuego
que hay dentro de mí.

Oye amada mía
tuyo es mi querer,
que tuya es el alma mía
toda mi poesía
mis alegres días,
hermosa mujer.

Sale a tu ventana
que quiero admirarte.
Sale mi rosa temprana,
hermosa galana,
que yo quiero hablarte
y quiero robarte
tu querer que es santo
porque te amo tanto
que no puedo más.

Y si el destino
de ti me separa
nunca podre ser feliz
y antes prefiero morir.
Porque tu cariño
es mi vida entera.
Tu has de ser la postrera,
la dulce compañera que ayer soñé.

English lyrics of the Vals "Un placer"

Lovely butterfly
you are my joy
and your pink colors
make you so beautiful
that in my soul
your image remains.

That’s why to your window
today I come to sing to you,
to tell you, my goddess,
that you are very beautiful
and I cannot forget you
I prefer death before leaving you
because just seeing you
is a pleasure for me.

Without your love, I can no longer live.
Oh! come quickly, do not make me suffer.
From your lips, I want to feel
the pleasure that it feels to kiss.
And so in my song, I plead
that you extinguish the fire
that is within me.

Listen, my beloved
yours is my love,
for yours is my soul
all my poetry
my joyful days,
beautiful woman.

Come to your window
for I want to admire you.
Come out, my early rose,
beautiful lady,
for I want to talk to you
and I want to steal
your holy love
because I love you so much
I can’t stand it any longer.

And if destiny
separates me from you
I can never be happy
and I’d rather die.
Because your affection
is my entire life.
You must be the last,
the sweet companion I dreamed of yesterday.

Story behind the Tango Un placer

The lyrics of “Un placer” reflect a poignant and heartfelt declaration of love and adoration. The speaker expresses a deep affection towards a beloved figure, comparing her to a beautiful butterfly that brings joy and color to his life. This Tango conveys a message of intense personal devotion and the lengths to which the speaker is willing to go for his love, including facing death rather than living without her.



Symbolism of Un placer

Caruso uses vivid symbolism to enhance the emotional depth of the lyrics. The reference to the beloved as a “linda mariposa” (beautiful butterfly) symbolizes delicacy, beauty, and transformation, suggesting the transformative effect she has on the speaker’s life. The repeated plea to experience the “pleasure of kissing” underscores the physical and emotional intimacy that the speaker craves, marking it as a vital source of his happiness and existence.



Un placer in historic Context

Recorded in 1949 in Argentina, “Un placer” emerged in a post-war context where Tango music provided an outlet for emotional expression among the populace. This period saw a resurgence of romantic and nostalgic themes in Tango, reflecting a society recovering from the hardships of the war years and seeking solace in familiar cultural expressions. The yearning and passion in the lyrics echo the collective sentiment of loss and desire for connection that was prevalent at the time.
