Vamos corazón is a Tango written by Carlos Bahr and composed by Fidel Pintos.
“Vamos corazón” translates to “Let’s go, heart,” a lyrical entreaty where the speaker converses with his own heart, seeking to overcome past sorrow. The lyrics reveal a dialogue of internal conflict and the desire to forget hurtful memories, embodied by a heart that cannot let go of lost love. This piece serves as a cathartic expression for those tormented by memories, urging resilience and the strength to move on.
In “Vamos corazón,” the heart is an emblem of emotional endurance and struggle. Phrases like “don’t keep infecting me with this pain” and “I want to erase the past to kill the bewitchment” illustrate the battle between the desire to heal and the lingering afflictions caused by deception. The symbolic heart embodies both vulnerability and enduring strength, often unwillingly clinging to the love and memories that once brought joy but now cause pain.
Recorded in 1941, during a time of global uncertainty and the looming shadows of World War II, “Vamos corazón” mirrors the melancholic and reflective mood of Argentina and much of the world. In economic and social upheaval, tango often became an escape and a mirror to personal tribulations, resonating deeply with its audience’s emotions. The recurring themes of deception, undying affection, and the struggle to move past heartbreak reflect the broader societal attempts to maintain hope and resilience in tumultuous times.
Carlos Bahr was an influential lyricist in the tango genre, known for his poignant and introspective lyrics that often explored themes of love, pain, and the complexities of human emotions.
