Letra del Vals Vos y yo

Vos sos florcita blanca de suave aroma,
yo soy el alma errante de una canción.
Vos sos la mañanita que alegre asoma,
yo soy la niebla de la oración.
El mundo a vos te brinda todas sus galas
y sos la dulce dueña del porvenir;
yo, vencido, pliego las alas
y busco un sitio para morir…

Tu vida tiene un destino:
encantar y reír y querer…
Yo marcho por el camino
del profundo y tenaz padecer.
Dejame con mi tristeza,
que estoy lejos, muy lejos de vos.
Tus ensueños recién comienzan
y yo a los míos les digo adiós…

¡Qué cruel es esta vida, que así, tan tarde,
se acuerda de nosotros y nuestro amor!
Ahora, que tu encanto que ve cobarde,
y me hizo vieio tanto dolor…

Un hombre ilusionado, por falsas huellas,
la imagen presentida buscó hasta hoy:
¡sos vos misma la imagen bella,
mas yo, del hombre, ni sombra soy!

English lyrics of the Vals "Vos y yo"

You are a white little flower with a gentle scent,
I am the wandering soul of a song.
You’re the bright morning that cheerfully appears,
I am the fog of prayer.
The world offers you all its finery,
and you are the sweet ruler of the future;
I, defeated, fold my wings
and look for a place to die…

Your life has a destiny:
to enchant, to laugh, and to love…
I walk on the path
of deep and steadfast suffering.
Leave me with my sadness,
for I am far, very far from you.
Your dreams are just beginning,
and to mine, I say goodbye…

How cruel is this life, that thus, so late,
remembers us and our love!
Now, that your charm sees me as a coward,
and so much pain has aged me…

A man deceived by false trails,
has sought the foreseen image until today:
you are indeed that beautiful image,
but I, of the man, am barely a shadow!

Vos y yo by Francisco García Jiménez

Vos y yo is a Tango written by Francisco García Jiménez and composed by Héctor Bates.



Story behind the Tango Vos y yo

The lyrics of “Vos y yo” reflect a poignant narrative of contrast and unattainable affection, underscoring the separateness between the speaker and the subject addressed as ‘Vos.’ The speaker self-identifies with fading elements like a wandering soul and mist, whereas ‘Vos’ is likened to a fresh, blossoming flower and a bright morning, symbolizing vibrancy and potential. This stark contrast sets the stage for a tale of love that discusses unreachable ideals and the resignation of personal desires. The overarching theme is a somber acceptance of disparate paths; the speaker urges the subject to continue her burgeoning life while he accepts his decaying trajectory.



Symbolism of Vos y yo

The symbolism in “Vos y yo” deeply illustrates the emotional chasm between the protagonists. The “florcita blanca de suave aroma” and “mañanita que alegre asoma” symbolize youth, beauty, and potential. In contrast, the speaker’s alignment with “el alma errante de una canción” and “la niebla de la oración” evokes a sense of loss, drift, and dissolution. These images conjure a sense of ephemeral and fading existence, opposed to the bright and flourishing one of the subject. This vivid symbolic contrast heightens the sense of inevitability and tragedy in the separation of their experiences and worlds.



Vos y yo in Historic Context

“Vos y yo” was created in Argentina in 1935, a time and place rich with the cultural significance of tango as more than just dance but a narration of life’s dramas. In the 1930s, tango lyrics often reflected themes of melancholy, nostalgia, and the social realities of ordinary people, resonating with the wider public during a period of political and economic shifts. The tango thus not only served as entertainment but also as a reflective surface for personal and collective experiences. “Vos y yo” taps into these themes, using the music and lyrics to delve into personal loss and resignation amidst the broader societal context.
