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 left

because I never wanted to feel

a sob for me.

Sad dawn

that I will never forget

today why remember

all that I suffered.



Distant July Ninth

from a divine morning

my always faithful heart wanted to sing

and to be able to wander around the world,

tireless wandering of a dreamer

marching after 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 filled with glory

to be able to offer it

to the one I loved the most

and upon returning

sad, defeated, and faithless

I found neither my love nor my home

and in pain, I cried.



Like a vagabond laden with sorrow

I carry in my soul the disillusionment

and since then thus condemns me

the infinite anguish of my heart

What can I do if now my hours of joy

also left since that day

that with the glories of my triumphs I dreamed,

distant dreams of my crazy youth!

Story behind the Tango 9 de Julio

The tango “9 de Julio” narrates the poignant story of a man who leaves his home and loved ones without farewell, driven by dreams of glory and success. As he wanders the world, his heart is filled with the hope of returning triumphant to share his achievements. Yet, upon returning, he finds neither his love nor his home as he left them, leading to a profound sense of loss and disillusionment. The poignant emotions of regret, nostalgia, and the pain of unrealized dreams form the core of this narrative.



Symbolism of 9 de Julio

The lyric “Lejano Nueve de Julio” refers symbolically to a distant and pivotal moment in the protagonist’s life—the day he departed on his quest. The phrase “9 de Julio” holds dual symbolism; while it vividly recalls Argentine Independence Day, emphasizing a theme of liberation, it also marks a personal independence day for the protagonist, starting his uncertain journey. Lines like “Sin un solo adiós” and “y al retornar triste, vencido y sin fe” enhance the themes of solitude and defeat, as contrasted with the initial hope and excitement.



9 de Julio in Historic Context

“9 de Julio” was composed in 1954, a period in Argentine history marked by significant political and social upheaval. This context of change and uncertainty parallels the song’s themes of personal journeys and disillusionment. The historic and geographical ties to Argentina are deeper explored through the evocation of specific emotions that resonate with the broader, national narrative of aspiration and the disillusionment experienced in personal ventures and national ambitions alike.



Lito Bayardo

Lito Bayardo, knwon as the author of “9 de Julio”, was a significant figure in the Argentine tango scene, renowned for his emotive and narrative-driven songwriting.
