Letra del Tango Angustia (3) (b)

Por no querer perdonarte

me está matando el dolor

y aunque mi rostro sonríe,

estoy llorando de amor,

(coro: Está llorando de amor…)



Llora, llora corazón,

llora si tienes por qué,

que no es delito en el hombre,

llorar por una mujer,

(coro: llorar por una mujer.)



Yo represento la playa,

y tú las olas del mar,

vienes a mí, me acaricias,

me besas luego te vas,

me besas luego te vas.



Llora llorá corazón,

llora si tienes por qué,

que no es delito en el hombre,

llorar por una mujer,

llorar por una mujer.



Tú me enseñaste a querer…

también me enseñaste a amar,

del tiempo estoy aprendiendo,

el consuelo de olvidar.

English lyrics of the Tango "Angustia (3) (b)"

For not wanting to forgive you

the pain is killing me

and although my face smiles,

I’m crying from love,

(chorus: He’s crying from love…)

Cry, cry, my heart,

cry if you have a reason to,

it’s not a crime for a man

to cry over a woman,

(chorus: to cry over a woman.)

I am like the beach,

and you are the waves of the sea,

you come to me, you caress me,

you kiss me then you leave,

you kiss me then you leave.

Cry, cry, my heart,

cry if you have a reason to,

it’s not a crime for a man,

to cry over a woman,

to cry over a woman.

You taught me to love…

you also taught me to cherish,

from time I’m learning,

the comfort of forgetting.

Story behind the Tango Angustia (3) (b)

The tango “Angustia (3) (b)” encapsulates themes of unrequited love and heartache, manifesting the internal struggle and emotional turmoil experienced by the narrator. The lyrics poignantly express the pain of loving without being forgiven, highlighting a deep sentiment of regret and sorrow. As the narrator smiles outwardly, inside they are overwhelmed by the grief of love, a common theme in tango music that resonates with the dramatic essence of the genre.


Symbolism of Angustia (3) (b)

Horacio Pettorossi masterfully uses the symbolism of nature to illustrate the relationship dynamics in “Angustia (3) (b).” Describing the narrator as the shore and their love as the sea waves that approach, touch softly, and then withdraw symbolizes the fleeting, transient interactions between lovers who are unable to sustain closeness. These natural elements serve to evoke the feelings of transient happiness followed by prolonged periods of loneliness and longing.


Angustia (3) (b) in historic Context

Recorded in 1933, a period rich with the poetic and musical evolution of Tango in Argentina, “Angustia (3) (b)” reflects the cultural atmosphere of its times. During this era, Tango was not just dance music but a form of emotional expression, often conveying stories of common people, their struggles, passions, and losses.
