Letra del Tango A lo mejor quién te dice

Salí pebeta, bailá,

que está sonando un gotán.

Un tango de rompe y raja,

para no desperdiciar.

No digas que no, pebeta,

andá, no te hagas rogar.

Salí pebeta, bailá,

que está sonando un gotán.



A lo mejor, quién te dice,

que el mocito compañero

está esperando este tango

pa’ decirte: “Yo te quiero”.

Porque en cuestión de querer

nada se puede preveer.

Que el tango para el cariño

buena ayuda suele ser.



Salí pebeta, bailá,

que está sonando un gotán.

English lyrics of the Tango "A lo mejor quién te dice"

Go out, young girl, dance,
for a tango is playing loud.
A tango so fierce and pure,
not to be wasted, of course.
Don’t say no, young girl,
go on, don’t make us beg.
Go out, young girl, dance,
for a tango is playing loud.

Maybe, who knows,
that young fellow partner
is waiting for this tango
to tell you: “I love you.”
Because when it comes to love,
nothing can be predicted.
A tango for affection
often proves to be good help.

Go out, young girl, dance,
for a tango is playing loud.

A lo mejor quién te dice by Celedonio Flores

A lo mejor quién te dice is a Tango written by Celedonio Flores and composed by Domingo Varela Conte.



Story behind the Tango A lo mejor quién te dice

The lyrics invite a young girl, referred to affectionately as ‘pebeta’ (a term suggesting youth and endearment), to dance to the tune of a tango, referred to colloquially as ‘gotán’. The urge is almost persuasive, insisting that missing such a vibrant piece would be a waste. As the song progresses, there’s an insinuation that a young man might be waiting to express his feelings through this dance, emphasizing the common theme of tango as a conduit for romance and unspoken emotions. The repeated invitation to dance symbolizes a freeing escape and a way to experience direct emotional expression, possibly leading to love.



Symbolism of A lo mejor quién te dice

‘A lo mejor quién te dice’ translates to ‘Maybe, who knows’ or ‘Perhaps, who can say’, a phrase that captures the uncertain, hopeful essence of developing romance and life’s unfolding mysteries. The tango itself throughout the lyrics is a metaphor for the unpredictable dance of love and life, implying how moments unfold in unexpected ways. The repeated call to dance the tango mirrors life’s repeated opportunities for joy and connection that should not be missed.



A lo mejor quién te dice in historic Context

Recorded in 1942, during a time when Argentina was marked by political and social shifts, this tango by Celedonio Flores echoes a poignant contrast against the darkening global backdrop of World War II. In Buenos Aires, where tango was a vibrant reflection of everyday life, social commentary frequently slipped into its lyrics. This song, with its focus on immediate pleasures and the cherishable moments amidst uncertainty, may have provided a needed escape and relatable narrative for its audience, resonating with the theme of seizing the moment amidst life’s unpredictability.



Celedonio Flores

Celedonio Flores was an iconic Argentine poet and tanguero known for his significant contributions to the tango’s lyricism, infused with the vibrant slang of Buenos Aires.
