Letra del Tango Barrio de tango

Un pedazo de barrio, allá en Pompeya,
durmiéndose al costado del terraplén.
Un farol balanceando en la barrera
y el misterio de adiós que siembra el tren.
Un ladrido de perros a la luna.
El amor escondido en un portón.
Y los sapos redoblando en la laguna
y a lo lejos la voz del bandoneón.

Barrio de tango, luna y misterio,
calles lejanas, ¡cómo estarán!
Viejos amigos que hoy ni recuerdo,
¡qué se habrán hecho, dónde estarán!
Barrio de tango, qué fue de aquella,
Juana, la rubia, que tanto amé.
¡Sabrá que sufro, pensando en ella,
desde la tarde que la dejé!
Barrio de tango, luna y misterio,
¡desde el recuerdo te vuelvo a ver!

Un coro de silbidos allá en la esquina.
El codillo llenando el almacén.
Y el dramón de la pálida vecina
que ya nunca salió a mirar el tren.
Así evoco tus noches, barrio ‘e tango,
con las chatas entrando al corralón
y la luna chapaleando sobre el fango
y a lo lejos la voz del bandoneón.

English lyrics of the Tango " Barrio de tango"

A slice of the neighborhood there in Pompeya,
Falling asleep beside the embankment.
A lantern swinging at the barrier,
And the train’s mystery of a departing why.
A bark at the moon from dogs.
The hidden love behind a large door.
And the frogs intensify in the lagoon,
And in the distance, the voice of the bandoneon.

Neighborhood of tango, moon, and mystery,
Distant streets, how are they now?
Old friends whom I now hardly recall,
What have they become, where are they now?
Neighborhood of tango, what happened to her,
Juana, the blonde, whom I loved so much.
Does she know I suffer, thinking of her,
Since the afternoon I left her!
Neighborhood of tango, moon, and mystery,
From the memories, I see you again!

A chorus of whistles down at the corner.
The knucklebones filling up the store.
And the drama from the pale neighbor
Who never came out to see the train again.
Thus, I evoke your nights, neighborhood of tango,
With the carts entering the yard,
And the moon splashing over the mud,
And from afar, the voice of the bandoneon.

Barrio de tango by Homero Manzi

Barrio de tango is a Tango written by Homero Manzi and composed by Aníbal Troilo.



Story behind the Tango Barrio de tango

The lyrics of “Barrio de tango” paint a vivid picture of a neighborhood steeped in the aura of tango, set against the backdrop of Pompeya, a locality in Buenos Aires. The imagery is both nostalgic and melancholic, with references to mundane yet emotionally charged elements such as a swaying street lamp, the lonesome sound of a train, and hidden romantic encounters. Manzi shares a personal reflection on past relationships and experiences tied to this place, embodying the tango’s spirit with its intertwined feelings of love and loss.



Symbolism of Barrio de tango

Homero Manzi’s use of specific imagery like “un farol balanceando en la barrera” (a lantern swinging at the barrier) and “el misterio de adiós que siembra el tren” (the mystery of goodbye that the train sows) evoke a profound sense of nostalgia and transience. The recurring motif of the moon and shadows cast upon the muddy streets underlines the mystique and latent sorrow embedded within the familiar corners of the barrio. Even animals like dogs howling at the moon contribute to the ambiance, highlighting themes of longing and the passage of time.



Barrio de tango in historic Context

Recorded in 1971, “Barrio de tango” emerged in an era when Argentina was experiencing significant political and social changes. This period’s uncertainty may have influenced Manzi to look back nostalgically at the seemingly simpler past of the Buenos Aires neighborhoods. The detailed depiction of local life, tangled with personal and collective memories, captures more than just a physical space—it encapsulates an emotional landscape revealing the community’s cultural pulse through the lens of tango music and dance.
