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 sobbing for me.

Sad dawn
that I will never forget,
why reminisce today
all that I suffered?

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

I promised myself,
filled with glory to return
to share it
with whom I loved most.
And upon returning
sad, defeated, and faithless,
I found neither my love nor my home,
and with pain, I wept.

Like a vagabond burdened with sorrow,
I carry disillusionment in my soul,
and since then I am condemned
by the infinite 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

9 de Julio narrates a poignant tale of departure and loss. The protagonist leaves his home without a goodbye, sparing himself the pain of seeing his loved ones’ sorrow. As he journeys, initially with dreams of glory and return, he is eventually overwhelmed by defeat and disillusionment. Upon his return, he finds neither the love nor the home he left behind, his dreams shattered, plunging him into a state of perpetual despair and longing for a past filled with youthful dreams.



Symbolism of 9 de Julio

The title “9 de Julio,” which translates to “9th of July,” symbolizes a day of significant departure and change, possibly alluding to a personal or national event of importance. This day marks the beginning of a journey both literal and metaphorical, leading to an ultimate realization of lost dreams and unfulfilled promises. Key phrases like “infatigable vagar de soñador” (tireless wander of a dreamer) and “la angustia infinita de mi corazón” (the infinite anguish of my heart) poetically convey the depth of the character’s emotional journey and his profound sense of loss.



9 de Julio in historic Context

Given the date in the song’s name, “9 de Julio,” which is also celebrated as Argentina’s Independence Day, the song could be infusing a layer of patriotic sentiment and the personal sacrifices made in pursuit of broader ideals. Recorded in 1966, a period in Argentina’s history marked by political instability and social unrest, the song might be reflecting the collective emotional state of the nation, intertwined with individual narratives of pursuit, disillusionment, and longing.
