Letra del Tango Visión

Si viera, viejita, que sueño he tenido,
soñé que volvía de nuevo al hogar…
Más linda que antes, más buena que nunca,
y al verme tan solo, se puso a llorar…
Vestida de blanco, igual que una imagen,
sus manos en ruego pidiendo perdón,
de pronto acercose, juntito a mi cama
y un beso en la frente, viejita, ¡me dio!…

¿Por qué fue mala con mi cariño,
si yo fui bueno, todo le di?…
En cambio, ella, manchó mi nombre,
¡lo más sagrado que era pa’ mí!…
Yo no la odio, ni la maldigo,
ni digo: ¡mato!, ¡total pa’ qué!…
Aquí se hacen y aquí se pagan.
¡Que Dios la ayude, pobre mujer!…

Que noche de insomnio, que noche más larga,
no puedo dormirme pensando en su amor.
Las horas se pasan y sigo despierto
y siempre pensando en esa traición…
Mintieron sus ojos, mintieron sus labios,
sus besos eran falsos y falso su amor…
Yo en cambio fui bueno, velé por su vida
¡y puse en sus manos mi fiel corazón!…

English lyrics of the Tango "Visión"

If you could see, dear old lady, the dream I had,
I dreamed I was returning home…
Prettier than before, kinder than ever,
and seeing me so alone, she began to cry…
Dressed in white, just like a saint,
her hands in prayer asking for forgiveness,
she suddenly came closer, right up to my bed
and gave me a kiss on the forehead, dear old lady!…

Why was she cruel to my affection,
when I was good, and gave her everything?…
In return, she tarnished my name,
the most sacred thing to me!…
I don’t hate her, nor do I curse her,
nor do I say: I’ll kill! What’s the point!…
What goes around comes around.
May God help her, poor woman!…

What a sleepless night, such a long night,
I can’t sleep thinking about her love.
The hours pass and I stay awake
always thinking about that betrayal…
Her eyes lied, her lips lied,
her kisses were false and so was her love…
I, instead, was good, I watched over her life
and placed my faithful heart in her hands!…

Story behind the Tango Visión

The song “Visión” narrates a poignant tale of love and betrayal, enveloped in a dream-like memory of returning home to find forgiveness and affection from a loved one. The speaker recalls a vivid dream where their beloved, dressed in white and portrayed as angelic, offers a gesture of repentance – a kiss on the forehead. Yet, this serene vision is contrasted sharply with the reality of betrayal, where the loved one not only tainted the speaker’s reputation but also shattered their trust by offering false expressions of love. This dynamic interplay between the ideal and the real serves as the emotional core of the tango, revealing deep feelings of hurt, disillusionment, and an enduring longing for what was once thought to be true love.



Symbolism of Visión

The lyrics of “Visión” are laden with symbolic imagery that intensifies the emotional weight of the narrative. The “viejita” or beloved, appearing “dressed in white,” symbolizes purity and innocence, contrasting starkly against her actions that later manifest as betrayal. The night, described as long and sleepless, symbolizes the enduring and torturous reflection on past love and the pain of betrayal. Phrases like “Las horas se pasan” (the hours pass) reflect the slow torment of time when grappling with heartache. These symbols effectively deepen the listener’s understanding of the struggle between cherished memories and painful present realities.



Visión in historic Context

The tango was recorded in 1953, a period marked by political and social upheaval in Argentina, influencing its cultural expressions, including tango music. Tangos of this era often reflected themes of loss, nostalgia, and personal anguish, mirroring the collective uncertainties of the time. “Visión”, with its themes of betrayal and the quest for redemption, echoes the emotional disquiet of a society grappling with rapid changes and the search for moral and personal resolution in times of crisis.
