Letra del Tango Así era ella muchachos

Muchachos…

Acérquense a mi mesa,

Quiero contar mi tristeza

Y hablarles de mi dolor.

Decirles cómo era ella

Confiarles mi gran amor.

Sus ojos…

Son de un color azul cielo,

Y sus manos son consuelo

Que acarician mi ilusión.

Sus labios color de rosa,

Y una voz hecha mimosa

Canción de amor.



Así era ella, muchachos

Si vieran qué linda está,

Después de mucho hoy la encuentro

Y en mi pecho sólo siento

La ansiedad de conversar.

Cuando pasé por su lado

Quise gritarle mi amor,

Tenía un pibe en los brazos

Y al saber de mi fracaso

Sentí frío el corazón…



Ahora…

Muchachos que arrepentido,

Al saber que la he perdido

Una sombra sólo soy.

Y al comprender que no es mía

A su recuerdo yo voy.

English lyrics of the Tango "Así era ella muchachos"

Boys…

Come closer to my table,

I want to share my sadness

And talk about my pain.

Tell you about her

And entrust you with my great love.

Her eyes…

They are the color of the blue sky,

And her hands are the comfort

That caress my dreams.

Her lips, the color of a rose,

And a voice turned into a tender

Love song.

That’s how she was, boys

If you could see how beautiful she is,

After a long time, I met her today

And in my chest, I only feel

The eagerness to talk.

When I passed by her side

I wanted to shout my love,

She was holding a child in her arms

And knowing of my failure

I felt a chill in my heart…

Now…

Boys, how regretful I am,

Knowing that I have lost her

I am only a shadow.

And realizing she is not mine

To her memory, I go.

Story behind the Tango Así era ella muchachos

The Tango “Así era ella muchachos” narrates the sorrow of a man reminiscing about a woman he loved and lost. The lyrics invite listeners to gather around as the narrator shares his deep sadness and recounts the beauty and character of the woman he adores. His expression of emotion through memories paints a vivid picture of her physical and metaphorical characteristics, culminating in the moment he sees her again after a long time, only to find her with another life built, symbolized by the child in her arms – a direct emblem of his loss and unattainable desires.



Symbolism of Así era ella muchachos

The song is rich with symbolic language, emphasizing the idealized beauty and nurturing qualities of the woman. Her “sky-blue eyes” suggest a depth and a purity, while her “rose-colored lips” and a voice that becomes a “loving song” elevate her to almost an ethereal, unattainable figure. Furthermore, the definitive moment—seeing her with a child signaling her new life and his consequent ‘failure’—symbolizes the irrevocable passage of time and the permanence of his loss, leaving a haunting impact on the narrator, depicted as the chilling of his heart. The contrast between the warmth of their past and the coldness he feels now effectively enhances the pathos of his unrequited love.



Así era ella muchachos in historic Context

First released in 1967, “Así era ella muchachos” emerged during a vibrant period in Argentine history, both politically and culturally. Argentina was undergoing significant social changes, and the tango scene was no exception.
