Libertango
Leopoldo Federico Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Strange, I've seen that face before
Seen him hanging round my door
Like a hawk stealing for the prey
Like the night waiting for the day
Strange, he shadows me back home
Footsteps echo on the stone
Rainy nights on Haussmann Boulevard
Parisian music drifting from the bars
Tu cherches quoi (What are you looking for?)
A rencontrer la mort? (to meet your death?)
Tu te prends pour qui? (Who do you think you are?)
Toi aussi, tu detestes la vie (You hate life too)
Dance in bars and restaurants
Home with anyone who wants
Strange, he's standing there alone
Staring eyes chill me to the bone
Dans sa chambre (In her room)
Jo
Seen him hanging round my door
Like a hawk stealing for the prey
Like the night waiting for the day
Strange, he shadows me back home
Footsteps echo on the stone
Parisian music drifting from the bars
Tu cherches quoi (What are you looking for?)
A rencontrer la mort? (to meet your death?)
Tu te prends pour qui? (Who do you think you are?)
Toi aussi, tu detestes la vie (You hate life too)
Dance in bars and restaurants
Home with anyone who wants
Strange, he's standing there alone
Staring eyes chill me to the bone
Dans sa chambre (In her room)
Jo
urnal intime (Intimate diary)
Un parfum de l'âme (A fragrance of the soul)
Le désir qui brûle (Desire that burns)
As the lyrics of Leopoldo Federico's Libertango suggest, the song is about a sense of foreboding danger and a mysterious stranger who follows the singer home. The song tells of a person who believes that someone is watching them as they walk through the streets of Paris. The song builds up a feeling of paranoia, as the person begins to wonder what their stalker wants from them. They feel a sense of unease as this shadowy figure follows them home, and the lyrics suggest that this person may even be contemplating death.
Writer(s): Astor Piazzolla, Astor Pantaleon Piazzolla
