Created by the Expósito brothers, Orange blossom is undoubtedly one of the most famous tangos and recognized worldwide. We tell their story.

Homero Exposito is responsible for the tango lyrics Naranjo en Flor, and his brother Virgilio, the creator of music. verses, laden anguish caused indifference, They were masterfully played by Roberto "El Polaco" Goyeneche.

Legend has it that the letter is inspired by a true story, though sad. A man reports that had tried to seduce a teen, but having no success, He forced her to be with him. Product of this violation, the girl became pregnant, but, because he did not want to be a mother, She had an abortion and died.

Beyond the truth or fantasy lyrics, the particularity of Naranjo en Flor is that, despite being a tango, It does not refer to the typical elements of the genre, as the corner, the neighborhood, the bar or compadritos. His verses are poetic and seem to reach every way.

We leave the letter so you can enjoy:

It was softer than water, soft water.
It was fresher than the river ... Orange blossom.
And on that street summer, street lost, He left a piece of life and left.

First you have to know how to suffer, then love, From then and finally walk without thinking.
Orange blossom perfume, useless promises of love that escaped in the wind.
After, what matters the following, my life is yesterday that stopped me in the past.
Eternal, ancient youth that has left me cowering like a bird without light.

What you have done my hands, what they have done for me in the chest so much pain.
Old Grove pain, Song Corner. And with a piece of life ...
Orange Blossom.
