From the distance, the poet evokes his old neighbourhood, longing for its nightly landscape full of tango, his friends and the love he left behind. +

The poet proudly defends tango from those who criticize and disdain it. To him, tango is a matter of soul and sensitivity, available to all who will open their heart to it. +
The poet shares a moving dialogue with the bells in the tower of the Basílica de la Merced in Santiago de Chile. Their sound speaks to the traveller’s wounded heart, and he, in turn, lets out the confession of his own grieving, which he leaves there as farewell when the moment comes to continue the journey. +
The poet sings of a fourteen year-old young lady who already dreams of love, in spite of the fact that all around her still consider her just a child. +
