Letra del Tango Una emoción

Vengan a ver que traigo yo
en esta unión de notas y palabras,
es la canción que me inspiró
la evocación que anoche me acunaba.
Es voz de tango modulado en cada esquina,
por el que vive una emoción que lo domina,
quiero cantar por este son
que es cada vez más dulce y seductor.

Envuelto en la ilusión anoche lo escuché,
compuesta la emoción por cosas de mi ayer,
la casa en que nací,
la reja y el parral,
la vieja calesita y el rosal.
Su acento es la canción de voz sentimental,
su ritmo es el compás que vive en mi ciudad,
no tiene pretensión,
no quiere ser procaz,
se llama tango y nada más.

Esta emoción que traigo yo,
nació en mi voz cargada de nostalgia.
Siento un latir de rebelión cuando a este son
sus versos le disfrazan.
Si es tan humilde y tan sencillo en sus compases,
porque anotarle un mal ejemplo en cada frase.
Con este resto de emoción
muy fácil es llegar al corazón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Una emoción"

Come and see what I bring
in this fusion of notes and words,
it is the song that inspired me
the evocation that last night cradled me.
It is the voice of tango modulated on every corner,
for the one who lives an emotion that dominates him,
I want to sing for this sound
that is increasingly sweet and seductive.

Wrapped in illusion last night I heard it,
emotion composed of things from my past,
the house where I was born,
the fence and the grapevine,
the old carousel and the rosebush.
Its accent is the song of sentimental voice,
its rhythm is the beat that lives in my city,
it has no pretension,
it does not want to be vulgar,
it’s called tango and nothing more.

This emotion that I bring,
was born in my voice filled with nostalgia.
I feel a beat of rebellion when these tunes
disguise its verses.
If it’s so humble and simple in its rhythms,
why mark it with a bad example in every phrase.
With this remnant of emotion,
it’s easy to reach the heart.

Una emoción by José María Suñé

Una emoción is a Tango written by José María Suñé and composed by Raúl Kaplún.


Story behind the Tango “Una emoción”

In “Una emoción,” José María Suñé encapsulates a deep-seated nostalgia that resonates with common experiences, vividly painting a picture through a melody that binds his listeners in a shared lineage of emotions. The lyrics suggest a walk down memory lane, with the singer recounting symbols from a past life like the family home, a gate with vines, a childhood carousel, and a rose garden. All these are harmonized with the backdrop of tango, a genre that itself acts as a cultural heartbeat for the Argentinean people. Suñé brilliantly uses the tango not just as music but as a narrative structure that cradles memories, emotions, and a city’s historical pulse.



Symbolism of Una emoción

The lyric “la casa en que nací, la reja y el parral” (the house where I was born, the gate and the grapevine) is densely packed with symbolism. These elements are not merely nostalgic but are symbols of roots and origin which evoke the individual’s foundational memories and attachments. The “vieja calesita y el rosal” (the old carousel and the rosebush) represent innocence and the simple, yet profound joys of childhood. Suñé uses these symbols to lace his homage to tango with a personal and communal history, stating how these humble, everyday objects can stir a profound emotional response when seen through the lens of tango music.



Una emoción in Historic Context

Written and recorded in the midst of World War II, in 1943, “Una emoción” offers a vital perspective on Argentine culture and social sentiment during a turbulent global atmosphere. Despite the vast geographical and conceptual distance from the frontlines, the song’s creation during such a time likely emphasizes a clinging to familiar comforts and traditions, such as tango, which constituted a fundamental part of Buenos Aires’ (and more broadly, Argentina’s) cultural identity. This reinforces the theme of finding solace and identity in the familiar, as a counteraction to a world in disarray.
