Letra del Tango Ahora no me conocés

Te perdiste del rincón natal
tras un sueño de distancia,
sin pensar que allá quedaban
los seres que te amaban
y yo con mi inconstancia.
Agonía de vivir sin vos
o morir en un camino.
Y me marché dejando atrás
la maldición sobre los dos
y este es el pago que me das.

Ahora no me conocés,
me borró tu ingratitud.
Aunque dejes mi alma trunca
no podrás olvidar nunca
lo de nuestra juventud.
Algún día llorarás,
todo el daño que me hacés.
Te busqué sin darme paz,
por cariño, nada más
y ahora, no me conocés.

No se juega con un corazón,
como vos lo haces conmigo.
No pongas el gesto huraño,
buscarte fue mi engaño
y hallarte, mi castigo.
Yo no sé como podés fingir
este asombro en mi presencia,
yo que soñaba esta ocasión,
te vi pasar, te oí reír
y se hizo trizas mi ilusión.

English lyrics of the Tango "Ahora no me conocés"

You left your birthplace behind,
chasing a dream of distance,
without thinking of those left behind,
those who loved you,
and me with my fickleness.
Agony of living without you
or dying on a path.
And I left, leaving behind
the curse on us both,
and this is the payment you give me.

Now you don’t know me,
erased by your ingratitude.
Though you leave my soul incomplete,
you will never forget
our youthful days.
One day you will cry,
for all the harm you inflict.
I sought you without rest,
for affection, nothing more,
and now, you don’t know me.

One does not gamble with a heart,
as you do with mine.
Don’t wear that scowl,
searching for you was my deception,
and finding you, my punishment.
I don’t know how you can feign
this surprise at my presence,
I who dreamt of this moment,
saw you pass by, heard you laugh,
and my illusion was shattered.

Story behind the Tango Ahora no me conocés

The tango “Ahora no me conocés” presents a lament of lost love and profound emotional abandonment. The narrator recalls the departure of the beloved, who left a native village – and the loyal affections therein – chasing after distant dreams, neglecting the speaker and the shared bonds of their youth. As the speaker ventured into the world, possibly in search of reconciliation or escape, they were left with bitterness and betrayal when finally confronted with the beloved’s indifference and forgetfulness. The refrain, “Ahora no me conocés” which translates to “Now you don’t know me” in English, encapsulates the theme of one’s existence and past being erased from someone else’s memory by choice or time.



Symbolism of Ahora no me conocés

This tango is rich with symbolism that enhances the emotional weight of the lyrics. The native corner, or “el rincón natal,” symbolizes the origin and shared past, a safe place of shared memories and identities. Loss of this place represents the severance of deep personal bonds. The act of leaving this corner not only highlights the physical distance but also the emotional drifting apart, hinting at betrayal. “La maldición sobre los dos” – the curse upon both – may symbolize the irreversible consequences of their actions, especially the decision to leave.



Ahora no me conocés in historic Context

Recorded in 1952 in Argentina, “Ahora no me conocés” embodies the post-war sentiment of disillusionment and introspection, themes common in tango music of this era. During this time, Argentina was undergoing significant social and economic changes, which influenced the arts profoundly. Tangos often captured feelings of loss, nostalgia for simpler times, and the pain of personal and national upheavals. In this context, the song reflects the emotional displacements and relational disruptions influenced by broader societal changes.
