Romina Tango

My goal with this blog is to share the poetry of tango. For me, the experience of dancing to tango, vals, and milonga is not complete without the poetry. Poetry and music envelope the dance floor and lead you to the embrace that transports you to a world all its own.

The voices of tango singers embody the poetry of tango. With my translations, I want to bring the experience of that embodiment to you. In my writing, I strive to be faithful to both the lyrics and the music. I don’t just want to share the meaning of the verses, but convey their essence, so that you can feel the lyrics alive imagining the voices of your favorite singers in a language you understand.

My hope is that one day I can record them so you can enjoy the full experience!

For now, here are tango lyrics my way.

Enjoy!
