Letra del Tango 9 de Julio

Sin un solo adiós
dejé mi hogar cuando partí
porque jamás quise sentir
un sollozar por mí.
Triste amanecer
que nunca más he de olvidar
hoy para qué rememorar
todo lo que sufrí.

Lejano Nueve de Julio
de una mañana divina
mi corazón siempre fiel quiso cantar
y por el mundo poder peregrinar,
infatigable vagar de soñador
marchando en pos del ideal con todo amor
hasta que al fin dejé
mi madre y el querer
de la mujer que adoré.

Yo me prometi
lleno de gloria regresar
para podérsela brindar
a quien yo más amé
y al retornar
triste, vencido y sin fe
no hallé mi amor ni hallé mi hogar
y con dolor lloré.

Cual vagabundo cargado de pena
yo llevo en el alma la desilusión
y desde entonces así me condena
la angustia infinita de mi corazón
¡Qué puedo hacer si ya mis horas de alegría
también se fueron desde aquel día
que con las glorias de mis triunfos yo soñara,
sueños lejanos de mi loca juventud!

English lyrics of the Tango "9 de Julio"

Without a single goodbye,
I left my home when I departed,
because I never wanted to feel
a sob for me.
Sad dawn
that I can never forget,
today, why recall
all that I suffered.

Distant July Ninth,
of a divine morning,
my always faithful heart wanted to sing
and wander the world,
tireless roaming of a dreamer,
chasing the ideal with all love,
until at last I left
my mother and the love
of the woman I adored.

I promised myself,
to return full of glory,
to offer it
to the one I loved the most.
And when I returned,
sad, defeated, and faithless,
I found neither my love nor my home,
and with pain, I cried.

Like a vagabond burdened with sorrow,
I carry disillusionment in my soul,
and since then it condemns me,
the endless anguish of my heart.
What can I do if my hours of joy
also left since that day
when I dreamed of the glories of my triumphs,
distant dreams of my crazy youth!

Story behind the Tango 9 de Julio

The poignant tango “9 de Julio” reflects on themes of departure, sacrifice, and the bitter pang of unfulfilled dreams. The narrator tells a soul-stirring tale of leaving home without a goodbye, driven by a desire not to witness the sorrow of those left behind. This departure, marked by a memorable and sorrowful dawn, sets the stage for a journey fueled by hopes and dreams, ultimately leading to a return that is marred by loss and disillusionment.

Symbolism of 9 de Julio

The title “9 de Julio” symbolizes not just a date but resonates deeply as Argentina’s Independence Day, adding layers of national pride and personal identity to the narrative. It signifies a departure point not only in the narrator’s life but echoes the broader themes of seeking freedom and identity. The repeated references to dreams, the pursuit of ideals, and the vagabond’s journey underscore a nuanced interplay between youthful aspirations and the often harsh realities of life. Phrases like “infatigable vagar de soñador” (tireless wanderer of dreams) and “cual vagabundo cargado de pena” (like a vagabond laden with sorrow) illustrate the contrast between hope and despair, driving the emotive force of the tango.

9 de Julio in historic Context

The year 1950 when this tango was recorded was a period of political and social transformation in Argentina, recovering post World War II and entering a new era under the leadership of Juan Domingo Perón. This context enriches the narrative, painting the personal losses and returns against a backdrop of national reawakening and introspection. The geographical references and the historic significance of July 9 as Argentina’s Independence Day meld to portray a dual narrative of personal and collective identity exploration.
