Letra del Tango A suerte y verdad

He vivido intensamente
y estoy en la pendiente
donde los sueños se van.
He aprendido que la suerte
no es del fuerte
y que cualquier esperanza
el tiempo siempre la amansa,
o si no la echa a rodar.
Hoy conozco todo eso…
todo eso y mucho más.

Voy llevando en cada herida
una ilusión ya vencida
que martilla sin piedad.
Se fueron las alegrías
y las tristezas, tan mías,
no importan a nadie más.
Voy queriendo y voy sufriendo
y en carne propia sintiendo
lo triste que es ir viviendo,
viviendo a suerte y verdad.

Yo que vi amainar a muchos
hombres grandes, hombres duchos,
hombres que eran de verdad;
hoy conozco la condena
de una pena
y el temple que se precisa
para ahogar con una risa
lo que dirán los demás.
Hoy conozco todo eso,
todo eso y mucho más.

English lyrics of the Tango "A suerte y verdad"

I’ve lived intensely
and I’m on the slope
where dreams go away.
I’ve learned that luck
does not belong to the strong
and that any hope
time always tames,
or else it starts to roll.
Today I know all this…
all this and much more.

I carry in each wound
a defeated illusion
that hammers mercilessly.
The joys have gone
and the sadness, so mine,
do not matter to anyone else.
I keep loving and suffering
and feeling personally
how sad it is to keep living,
living by chance and truth.

I who saw many great men
subside, skilled men,
men who were the real deal;
today I understand the sentence
of a sorrow
and the mettle required
to drown with a laugh
what others will say.
Today I know all this,
all this and much more.

Story behind the Tango A suerte y verdad

“A suerte y verdad” translates to “By fate and truth” in English, encapsulating a narrative rich in introspection and existential realism. The lyrics reflect a life lived intensely, marked by the gradual descent of dreams and the harsh realities of fate. The speaker in the song recounts his journey through personal trials, defeated illusions, and profound loneliness, expressed through the metaphor of life’s battles that leave emotional scars.


Symbolism of A suerte y verdad

The primary symbols in “A suerte y verdad” are the ‘pendiente’ (slope) and the ‘herida’ (wound), which signify the inevitable decline in life’s journey and the emotional or psychological injuries sustained through personal hardships, respectively. The repeated reference to ‘lo triste que es ir viviendo’ (how sad it is to keep living) echoes a poignant, existential acceptance of life’s inherent struggles. Key phrases like ‘todo eso y mucho más’ (all that and much more) underscore a deep, reflective understanding of life beyond surface-level experiences.


A suerte y verdad in historic Context

Set in Argentina in 1944, “A suerte y verdad” arrives at a pivotal time when the nation was transitioning from the Infamous Decade to the rise of Juan Domingo Perón. This period was marked by political upheaval, economic uncertainty, and a burgeoning sense of national identity. The Tango, a dance that often encompasses themes of despair, mirrors the socio-political atmosphere of its time, making the song not only a personal narrative but also a commentary on the collective Argentine struggle and resilience.
