Letra del Tango Viejo rincón

Compás floreado de tango
que al apretarme en tus brazos,
me está encendiendo en los labios
una palabra de amor.

Otro tango si no es tarde
para bailarlo los dos,
si son de un ritmo que late
lo mismo que un corazón.

El tiempo pasa de largo
cuando te abrazo en un tango.
Y estoy muriendo de antojos
por besarte en esos ojos
que al mirar me están quemando.
El tiempo pasa de largo
cuando te abrazo en un tango.
Mientras se quiebra
la voz de la orquesta
que dice de tango y amor.

Compás floreado de tango
me está endulzando el acento
para decirte “te quiero”
con mi mejor expresión.

Por tu amor y donde cuadre
se hace tango mi emoción,
al son de un ritmo que late
lo mismo que un corazón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Viejo rincón"

Ornate rhythm of tango,
that while I’m tight in your arms,
a word of love is sparked on my lips.

Another tango if it’s not too late
for both of us to dance,
if they bear a rhythm that beats
just like a heart.

Time flies by
when I embrace you in a tango.
And I’m dying of desires
to kiss you in those eyes
that burn as they gaze.
Time flies by
when I embrace you in a tango.
As the voice of the orchestra breaks
singing of tango and love.

Ornate rhythm of tango
is sweetening my accent
to tell you “I love you”
with my best expression.

For your love and wherever it fits,
my emotion becomes tango,
to the sound of a rhythm that beats
just like a heart.

Symbolism of Viejo rincón

The heartbeat rhythm mentioned parallels the tango’s tempo with the natural, life-giving force of the heart, emphasizing how deeply ingrained the dance is in cultural and personal expression.



Viejo rincón in historic Context

The year 1985 in Argentina was a time of significant change, following the end of a brutal military dictatorship that lasted from 1976 to 1983. During this period, cultural expressions and freedoms were suppressed. The creation of “Viejo rincón” during such a transformative era speaks volumes about the resilience and enduring nature of cultural traditions like the tango, which have historically been a profound outlet for emotional expression in Argentinian society. This context may inform the longing and depth of emotion that imbues the lyrics of the tango, as people in that era were reestablishing their personal and cultural identities.
