Letra del Tango Una lágrima

Una lágrima tuya
me moja el alma,
mientras rueda la luna
por la montaña.

Yo no sé si has llorado
sobre un pañuelo
nombrándome,
nombrándome,
con desconsuelo.

La voz triste y sentida
de tu canción,
desde otra vida
me dice adiós.

La voz de tu canción
que en el temblor de las campanas
me hace evocar el cielo azul
de tus mañanas llenas de sol.

Una lágrima tuya
me moja el alma
mientras gimen
las cuerdas de mi guitarra.

Ya no cantan mis labios
junto a tu pelo,
diciéndote,
diciéndote,
lo que te quiero.

Tal vez con este canto
puedas saber
que de tu llanto
no me olvidé,
no me olvidé.

English lyrics of the Tango "Una lágrima"

A tear of yours
wets my soul,
while the moon rolls
down the mountain.

I don’t know if you have cried
on a handkerchief
calling my name,
calling my name,
in despair.

The sad and heartfelt voice
of your song,
from another life
says goodbye to me.

The voice of your song
that in the tremble of the bells
makes me recall the blue sky
of your sunny mornings.

A tear of yours
wets my soul
while
the strings of my guitar weep.

My lips no longer sing
next to your hair,
telling you,
telling you,
how much I love you.

Perhaps with this song
you can know
that I have not forgotten
your tears,
I have not forgotten.

Story behind the Tango Una lágrima

The tango “Una lágrima” captures the essence of longing and heartache, articulated through the vivid imagery of a teardrop that deeply touches the soul. The narrator reflects on the profound emotional impact of his beloved’s tear, poetically intertwined with natural elements, portraying a scene of the moon rolling over the mountains. This tear is not just a symbol of sorrow but a poignant reminder of shared past moments, resonating through the quiet despair voiced in the lyrics.



Symbolism of Una lágrima

In “Una lágrima,” the tear symbolizes the deep connection and the pain of separation. The moon and the mountains in conjunction emphasize the vastness and the isolation felt by the narrator. The fading voice of the beloved’s song adds to the theme of loss, suggesting a goodbye from a life that once was. The blue skies and sunny mornings are recalled through the echo of bells, further enhancing the longing for blissful past days, now only alive in memories.



Una lágrima in historic Context

Recorded in 1949 in Argentina, “Una lágrima” emerged during a period rich in the cultural flourishing of tango. Post-World War II Argentina faced significant political and social changes, influencing the arts toward more introspective and melancholic expressions. This piece reflects the collective emotional state of a nation navigating through times of uncertainty, using deeply personal narratives to address broader themes of love, loss, and nostalgia.
