Letra del Tango Amarga sospecha

Extraña tormenta de amor y de encono,
desata sus furias en mi corazón.
Mi amarga sospecha te envuelve en su oprobio
y te amo y te odio en cruel conjunción.
Me empujan los celos detrás de tus pasos,
y en trágica pugna con mi duda atroz,
a veces me cuesta besarte en los labios,
pensando que alguien tal vez los besó.

Yo no sé que ciega maldición
me ha traído a este infierno.
¿Cómo al mismo tiempo y sin razón
te idolatro y te hiero?
¿Por qué con mi sospecha
te denigro así?
¿Por qué te estoy manchando
si eres lo más sagrado para mí?
¿Cómo puedo amarte y sin razón,
renegar ese amor?

English lyrics of the Tango "Amarga sospecha"

Strange storm of love and wrath,
unleashes its fury in my heart.
My bitter suspicion wraps you in disgrace,
and I love you and hate you in cruel conjunction.
Jealousy drives me behind your steps,
and in tragic struggle with my dreadful doubt,
sometimes it’s hard for me to kiss you on the lips,
thinking that perhaps someone else kissed them too.

I don’t know what blind curse
has brought me to this hell.
How can at the same time and without reason
I idolize you and hurt you?
Why with my suspicion
do I degrade you like this?
Why am I tarnishing you
when you are the most sacred to me?
How can I love you and without reason,
deny that love?

Story behind the Tango Amarga sospecha

The tango “Amarga sospecha” (Bitter Suspicion) takes us into the depths of a tormented heart tangled in a storm of love and jealousy. It narrates the intense conflict of a person who is tortured by unfounded suspicions about their beloved, experiencing simultaneous feelings of love and scorn. This whirlwind of emotions manipulates the narrator’s reality, causing them to oscillate between adoration and detestation of their partner, driven by the fear of betrayal that may not even exist.



Symbolism of Amarga sospecha

The lyrics of “Amarga sospecha” are rife with symbolism that magnifies the torment experienced by the narrator. The “extraña tormenta” (strange storm) symbolizes the chaotic, uncontrollable emotions swirling within the narrator’s heart. The juxtaposition of love and hatred, illustrated through descriptions like “te amo y te odio” (I love you and I hate you), portrays the inner conflict of harboring suspicion against a loved one. The lyrics question the paradox of how one can despise and adore someone so intensively at the same time, highlighting the irrational nature of jealousy.



Amarga sospecha in historical context

“Amarga sospecha” was composed in 1949, a time when Argentina was undergoing significant political and social changes. This era of uncertainty may reflect in the personal uncertainties and suspicions explored in the tango. The tango, a deeply emotional and traditional Argentine music genre, serves as a perfect medium to express complex human emotions and societal issues. The year 1949 marks a period just before the rise of Juan Domingo Perón to his full political power, symbolizing a moment of both hope and apprehension in Argentine history, much like the contrasting emotions in the song.
