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 sigh for me.

Sad dawn

that I shall never forget

why remember 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,

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 full of glory

to offer it to

the one 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 in my soul the disillusionment

and since then this condemns me

the infinite anguish of my heart

What can I do if my hours of joy

also left since that day

when with the glories of my victories I would dream,

distant dreams of my crazy youth!

Story behind the Tango 9 de Julio

The song “9 de Julio” narrates the poignant departure of a person from their home without a goodbye, driven by the determination to not see loved ones suffer. This departure marks a journey of dreams and aspirations, symbolized by the distant memory of a July 9th morning. However, the return is filled with despair as the protagonist finds neither the love nor the home they left behind. The narrative captures feelings of sorrow, loss, and disillusionment, contrasting the hope at the beginning of the journey with the reality faced upon return.



Symbolism of 9 de Julio

The title “9 de Julio” symbolizes a significant moment of departure and change. It represents not just a date but a turning point in the protagonist’s life. The juxtaposition of “leaving without a goodbye” suggests a sense of urgency and inevitability in pursuit of dreams. The lyrics use contrasting images such as “gloria” (glory), “desilusión” (disillusionment), and “locuras de mi juventud” (follies of my youth), emphasizing the clash between youthful dreams and harsh realities. The vagabond imagery combined with the burden of sorrow exemplifies a life weighed down by unmet expectations and lost love.



9 de Julio in historic Context

While the song captures a profoundly personal story, its creation in 1987 within Argentina might resonate with broader themes of economic struggles and societal changes in the country. The 1980s in Argentina were marked by significant political and economic shifts. This context might parallel the protagonist’s personal disillusionment and struggles, mirroring the collective pain and nostalgia for better times within the society.
