Letra del Tango Viviane de París

Tus ojos verdes hicieron feliz
la callecita del viejo París.
Y cien pintores buscaron tus ojos
y cien poetas rimaron tu amor.
Tus ojos verdes, murmullos del mar,
rondan la costa de mi soledad.

Viviane…
en tus ojos verdes,
Viviane,
se quedó mi amor.
Pensar,
que este amor juramos
la tarde que entramos
allá en Notre Dame…
Viviane,
hoy te extraño tanto,
que en mi quebranto
sólo sé llorar.

Tus ojos verdes, mi vieja ilusión,
los llevo dentro de mi corazón.
Encadenados igual que esmeraldas
en un engarce de penas y amor.
Tus ojos verdes, murmullo del mar,
rondan la costa de mi soledad.

English lyrics of the Tango "Viviane de París"

Your green eyes brought joy
to the small street of old Paris.
And a hundred painters sought your eyes,
and a hundred poets rhymed your love.
Your green eyes, whispers of the sea,
roam the coast of my solitude.

Viviane…
in your green eyes,
Viviane,
my love remained.
To think,
that this love we swore
the afternoon we entered
into Notre Dame…
Viviane,
today I miss you so much,
that in my sorrow
I only know how to cry.

Your green eyes, my old illusion,
I carry them inside my heart.
Chained like emeralds
in a setting of grief and love.
Your green eyes, whisper of the sea,
roam the coast of my solitude.

Story behind the Tango Viviane de París

“Viviane de París” describes a poignant love story, resonating through the green eyes of Viviane, which brought joy to an old street in Paris. The narrator reminisces the deep bond formed with Viviane, nurtured by promises and shared moments, particularly within the hallowed walls of Notre Dame. As the lyrics unfold, the enduring image of Viviane’s eyes mirrors the narrator’s unyielding love and loneliness—their “vieja ilusión” or old illusion—suggesting a romance that continues to haunt the narrator despite its apparent conclusion.

Symbolism of Viviane de París

The repeated mention of Viviane’s green eyes, symbolizing both the sea’s murmur and a relic of solitude, exemplifies the deep emotional and symbolic undertones of the lyrics. These eyes, equated with emeralds “encadenados” (chained together) in a setting of grief and love, reflect the precious yet constricting memories of past love. “Murmullo del mar” (murmur of the sea) in this regard could represent the continuous yet gentle reminder of her presence and the pain of love lost. The choice of Notre Dame as a significant site for their promise reinforces the gravity of their commitment—it symbolizes not just a landmark, but a witness to their love’s sanctity, now a sanctuary of the narrator’s shattered dreams.
