The tango in the song serves as a metaphor for the woman's emotional journey. It is not just a dance or a piece of music; it is a bridge that connects her present loneliness with her past happiness. The 'tango italiano' symbolizes her yearning to return to her roots and to the love she left behind. The lyrics describe how this sweet, familiar melody makes her heart soar and brings back memories of her beloved, making her wish she could fly back to him on the wings of the wind. This longing is so intense that it ultimately compels her to return to her Italian love, driven by the call of the tango.
