Letra del Tango Al compás de tu mentira

Podrá el amor, ser lo más dulce de la vida

Y la ilusión y la esperanza más querida,

Cuando se pierde nos abisma en una honda soledad

Y no nos deja nunca olvidar,

Otro dolor hay tan igual que nos tortura

Y es la amargura, de perder una amistad.



Al compás de tu mentira

Conquistabas un amor,

Y al compás de tu mentira

Me iba alejando de vos.

Al compás de tu mentira

No escuchabas mi verdad,

Pero al fin la comprensión

Puso luz en tu razón,

Y surgió para los dos

Con más fuerza, la amistad.



Al estrechar por vez primera nuestras manos

Puso el calor y toda el alma de un hermano,

En su mirada parecía que brillaba la lealtad

Y en sus palabras, sinceridad…

Pero el amigo, cuando juegan intereses

Desaparece y es la triste realidad.

English lyrics of the Tango "Al compás de tu mentira"

Love may be the sweetest part of life

And the most cherished illusion and hope,

When lost, it plunges us into deep solitude

And never lets us forget,

Another pain just as excruciating torments us

And it is the bitterness, of losing a friendship.



To the rhythm of your lies

You were winning a love,

And to the rhythm of your lies

I was moving away from you.

To the rhythm of your lies

You did not hear my truth,

But in the end understanding

Shed light on your reason,

And for both of us arose

With more strength, the friendship.



When for the first time we shook hands

He put the warmth and the whole soul of a brother,

In his gaze appeared to shine loyalty

And in his words, sincerity…

But the friend, when interests play a role

Disappears and that’s the sad reality.

Story behind the Tango Al compás de tu mentira

The tango “Al compás de tu mentira” narrates the deep emotional journey of betrayal and the eventual reconciliation that arises from understanding and forgiveness. The lyrics initially depict the pain caused by deceit in both love and friendship, which plunges one into profound loneliness and bitterness. However, as the song progresses, it speaks to a transformative realization that allows light and understanding to mend the bond, elevating the relationship to one rooted in a more resilient friendship.



Symbolism of Al compás de tu mentira

The title itself, “Al compás de tu mentira,” which translates to “To the rhythm of your lie,” connotates lying as a dance, suggesting a rhythmic, yet disruptive, influence on relationships. This symbolism of dance aligns with the Tango’s essence, which often explores themes of passion, betrayal, and reconciliation. Phrases like “Podrá el amor ser lo más dulce de la vida” (Love can be the sweetest part of life) and “Cuando se pierde nos abisma en una honda soledad” (When lost, it plunges us into deep loneliness) demonstrate the high stakes of emotional connections and the deep void left by betrayal.



Al compás de tu mentira in historic Context

Created in 1965 in Argentina, a period marked by social and political unrest, “Al compás de tu mentira” uses personal betrayal as a metaphor perhaps reflecting the broader sense of disenchantment felt by society. The mention of friendship’s erosion due to “intereses” (interests) might subtly critique the loss of genuine human values in favor of material or selfish gains, a reflection of the era’s social dynamics. This tango, in its emotional narrative and metaphorical depth, captures the universal sentiments of trust and disappointment interweaved with personal and collective experiences.
