Letra del Tango Angustia (3)

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)"

For not wanting to forgive you

I’m being killed by the pain

and although my face smiles,

I am crying out of love,

(chorus: He’s crying out of love…)

Cry, cry heart,

cry if you have a reason,

for it is not a crime in a man,

to cry over a woman,

(chorus: to cry over a woman.)

I represent the beach,

and you 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 heart,

cry if you have a reason,

for it is not a crime in a man,

to cry over a woman,

to cry over a woman.

You taught me how to care…

you also taught me how to love,

from time I am learning,

the consolation of forgetting.

Story behind the Tango Angustia (3)

The Tango “Angustia (3)” encapsulates a tale of unrequited love and inner turmoil. The lyrics depict a poignant narrative of a person struggling with pain because they refuse to forgive their loved one. The contrast between smiling outwardly and crying inwardly highlights the hidden torment experienced by the protagonist. The repeated reference to the act of crying underscores the intensity of the emotional suffering faced due to love.



Symbolism of Angustia (3)

The recurrent imagery of the sea and its waves symbolizes the tumultuous nature of relationships and emotions. The protagonist describes themselves as the shore and their loved one as the sea waves that come and go, which allegorically paints a picture of fleeting moments of affection followed by separation. This metaphor enriches the theme of transient encounters and the pain of temporary love. The directive to “cry if you have a reason” serves as a poignant reminder that expressing pain is not a weakness, especially in the context of a lost love.



Angustia (3) in Historic Context

Recorded in 1933, during a period rich in the evolution of Tango in Argentina, “Angustia (3)” mirrors the sentimental character of the era. The early 1930s in Argentina were marked by political and economic upheavals, and cultural expressions like Tango often embodied the collective emotional state of the populace. The emotional depth in these lyrics could be seen as an echo of the societal struggles of the time, where themes of loss, pain, and melancholy were pervasive.
