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 hues
make you so beautiful
that in my soul
your image remains.

That’s why at your window
today I come to sing to you,
to tell you, my goddess,
that you are very beautiful
and I can’t forget you,
that before leaving you
I prefer death,
for 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 of kissing.
And that’s why in my song I beg you
to quench the fire
that is within me.

Listen, my beloved,
yours is my love,
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
that I cannot bear it anymore.

And if fate
separates me from you,
I could never be happy,
and I would rather die.
Because your affection
is my whole life.
You must be the last,
the sweet companion I dreamt of yesterday.

Un placer by Juan Andrés Caruso

Un placer is a tango written by Juan Andrés Caruso and composed by Vicente Romeo.

Story Behind the Tango Un placer

The tango “Un placer” narrates the intense emotions of a persona deeply infatuated with their beloved, depicted as a delicate and beautiful butterfly (“Linda mariposa”). Through this poetic symbolism, the lyrics express feelings of joy, longing, and an overwhelming desire to remain close to the loved one. The song conveys a cycle of adoration, longing, and existential dread of separation, presenting love as both a source of exquisite pleasure and a potentially torturous ordeal should the object of affection remain distant or depart.



Symbolism of Un placer

In “Un placer,” the butterfly symbolizes delicate beauty and ephemeral joy, embodying the persona’s beloved. The lyrical framework uses passionate declarations and nature motifs, usual in romantic poetry to emphasize the personal and transformative impact of love. Phrases like “tu eres mi alegría” and “hermosa mujer” juxtapose with expressions of suffering without the beloved’s presence, “prefiero la muerte” and “nunca podré ser feliz”, highlighting a high-stakes emotional gamble central to the tango’s message.



Un placer in Historic Context

Recorded in 1958, “Un placer” emerges in a post-war Argentina, during a period marked by political instability and cultural introspection. This context may reflect in the song’s themes of deep emotional reliance and the dramatic emphasis on life-and-death stakes associated with romantic love. The era also resonates with the tango’s essence as an expression of deeper human feelings, blending personal longing with cultural expression.
