Nostalgias
Dyango Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
para apagar un loco amor
que mas que amor es un sufrir.
Y aqui vengo para eso,
pa' borrar antiguos besos,
en los besos de otra boca.
Si su amor fue flor de un dia
esta cruel preocupacion.
Quiero por los dos mi copa alzar
para olvidar mi obstinacion
y mas la vuelvo a recordar
Nostalgias... de escuchar su risa loca
y sentir junto a mi boca, como
un fuego su... respiracion.
Angustia... de sentirme abandonado
y pensar que otro a su lado, pronto,
pronto... le hablara de amor.
Hermano, yo no quiero rebajarme,
ni pedirle, ni llorarle, ni decirle...
que no puedo mas vivir.
Desde mi triste soledad,
vere caer, las rosas muertas...
de mi juventud.
Gime bandoneon... tu tango, gris.
Quizas a ti te hiera igual...
algun amor, sentimental.
Si las copas traen consuelo, aqui estoy
con mis desvelos
para ahogarlos de una vez.
Quiero por los dos mi copa alzar
y despues asi poder brindar...
por los fracasos del amor.
The lyrics to Dyango's "Nostalgias" express the painful experience of unrequited love and the desire to drown one's heartache with alcohol. The opening verse expresses the desire to "emborrachar mi corazon" or "drink to get drunk" in order to forget "el loco amor" or the crazy love that causes unbearable suffering. The singer is haunted by memories of past kisses and the feeling of abandonment from someone he loved. The lyrics describe the pain of unrequited love and the hopelessness of the situation. The chorus repeats the word "nostalgias," which can be translated to "nostalgia" or "longing," expressing the desire to return to a happier time in the past. The song ends with a melancholy reflection on lost youth and the inevitability of failure in love.
The song was originally composed by the Argentine tango composer Juan Carlos Cobián in 1936, with lyrics by Enrique Cadícamo. The lyrics to Dyango's version were written by Jose Angel Espinoza, a Mexican composer and songwriter, in 1968. Since then, the song has been covered by many artists in various languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, French, and English. It has become a classic of tango and bolero music and is often played in Latin dance clubs around the world.
