Letra del Tango Verdemar

Verdemar… Verdemar…
Se llenaron de silencio tus pupilas.
Te perdí, Verdemar.
Tus manos amarillas, tus labios sin color
y el frío de la noche sobre tu corazón.
Faltas tú, ya no estás,
se apagaron tus pupilas, Verdemar.

Te encontré sin pensarlo y alegré mis días,
olvidando la angustia de las horas mías.
Pero luego la vida se ensañó contigo
y en tus labios mis besos se morían de frío.
Y ahora… ¿qué rumbo tomaré?
Caminos sin aurora me pierden otra vez.

Volverás, Verdemar…
Es el alma que presiente tu retorno.
Llegarás, llegarás…
Por un camino blanco tu espíritu vendrá
Buscando mi cansancio y aquí me encontrarás.
Faltas tú… Ya no estás…
Se apagaron tus pupilas, Verdemar.

English lyrics of the Tango "Verdemar"

Green Sea… Green Sea…
Silence filled your eyes.
I lost you, Green Sea.
Your yellowed hands, your colorless lips,
And the night’s cold upon your heart.
You’re missing, you’re gone,
Your eyes went dark, Green Sea.

I found you by chance and brightened my days,
Forgetting the anguish of my hours.
But then life turned cruel on you,
And on your lips my kisses froze.
And now… where shall I go?
Paths without dawn lose me again.

You’ll return, Green Sea…
The soul senses your return.
You will come, you will come…
On a white path, your spirit will arrive
Seeking my weariness, and here you will find me.
You’re missing… You’re gone…
Your eyes went dark, Green Sea.

Story behind the Tango Verdemar


“Verdemar” weaves a narrative of loss, longing, and an eternal hope for reunion. The piece reflects a profound personal sorrow as the narrator grapples with the absence of someone dear, symbolized by the name Verdemar. The lyrics journey through moments of cherished memories and turbulent emotions, underscoring a longing for an anticipated return or reunion. The imagery evokes vivid scenes—quiet pupils and cold nights—illustrating the transition from joy to grief, where hope clings to the belief that the beloved will eventually return.

Symbolism of Verdemar


“Verdemar” employs rich symbolism to enhance its emotional depth. The colors bear significance; “verde” suggests vitality and renewal, while “mar” evokes vastness and unpredictability. Together, they might hint at the expansive and turbulent nature of love and loss. Expressions like “silencio tus pupilas” (silence of your pupils) graphically convey the emotional void left by the beloved’s absence. Furthermore, the idea of “caminos sin aurora” (roads without dawn) suggests a life veiled in darkness and uncertainty without the presence of the loved one.

Verdemar in historic Context


Composed in 1954, “Verdemar” is set against the backdrop of mid-20th century Buenos Aires, a period marked by significant cultural and political upheaval. During this time, tango was experiencing a resurgence as a poignant expression of personal and collective sentiment. This context may influence the melancholic yet hopeful tone of the lyrics, reflecting broader societal desires for stability and the enduring nature of human connections amidst change. The themes of loss and hope resonate deeply within a society navigating the push and pull of tradition and modernity.

Carlos di Sarli was a prominent Argentine tango musician, renowned as a pianist, bandleader, and composer. His work significantly shaped the tango genre, celebrated for its lyrical elegance and melodic sophistication.
