Letra del Tango Arrebato

Arráncame de mi pecho
Esta duda que me mata
Y envenena mi existencia,
Decime
Si es verdad que tu cariño,
Que era mi única alegría
Ya se ha muerto para mí.
Yo no quiero la limosna
De tu boca mentirosa,
Que hoy me besa con engaño,
Prefiero
Que me hables con franqueza,
Y que tengas entereza
De decirme la verdad.

Yo quiero saber
Qué te pasa a vos,
Que te encuentro entristecida,
Si hasta en el amor
Noto con dolor
Que te estás mostrando esquiva,
Quiero yo saber
Por qué has cambiado tanto,
¡No, no llores…!
Si yo ya sé
Que vos bien me querés.

Esas lágrimas me dicen
Que los celos me cegaron
Que sos la misma de antes,
Perdona
Todo el mal que yo te he hecho,
Arrebato que en mi pecho
Una duda alimentó.
No llores, he conseguido
Arrancarme de los ojos
La venda que los cubría.
Y ahora
Con mis besos yo quisiera
Olvidar este momento
Que nos amargó a los dos.

English lyrics of the Tango "Arrebato"

Tear from my chest
This doubt that kills me
And poisons my existence.
Tell me
If it’s true, that your affection,
Which was my only joy,
Has now died for me.
I don’t want the charity
Of your lying mouth,
That now kisses me deceitfully.
I prefer
That you speak frankly,
And have the courage
To tell me the truth.

I want to know
What’s going on with you,
Why I find you so saddened,
Even in love
I painfully notice
That you’re becoming elusive.
I want to know
Why you’ve changed so much,
No, don’t cry…!
If I already know
That you truly love me.

These tears tell me
That jealousy blinded me
That you are the same as before,
Forgive
All the wrong I have done to you,
A burst of passion in my chest
Fed a doubt.
Don’t cry, I’ve managed
To lift from my eyes
The blindfold that covered them.
And now
With my kisses, I would like
To forget this moment
That embittered us both.

Story behind the Tango Arrebato

The lyrics of “Arrebato” explore the agony of doubt and the search for truth within romantic relationships. The narrator pleads with their lover to clarify if the love and joy that once existed between them have indeed perished. This painful uncertainty is depicted as poisoning the narrator’s existence, emphasizing the emotional depth and anguish of feeling betrayed or deceived. The song stresses the preference for harsh truth over comforting lies, portraying a moment of emotional crisis fueled by the discovery of potential untruthfulness in the partner’s actions.



Symbolism of Arrebato

“Arrebato” translates to “rapture” or “frenzy” in English, which symbolizes the intense emotion and overwhelming confusion the narrator experiences. The imagery of ripping doubt from the chest and references to poisoned existence powerfully signify the destructive nature of unresolved suspicion in love. Symbolism is further enhanced by the contrasting actions of crying and the plea for truth, representing the dual forces of emotional vulnerability and the pursuit of clarity.



Arrebato in historic Context

Recorded in 1942 in Argentina, “Arrebato” was created during a time of significant social and political change globally and nationally. This period marked a prelude to the rise of Peronism in Argentina, which later influenced various aspects of Argentine life, including its cultural expressions. The historic backdrop possibly amplifies the themes of uncertainty and searching for truth depicted in the tango, reflecting the larger societal atmosphere of instability and transformation during that era.
