Letra del Vals Aunque sea mujer

Es al ñudo que llore y se arrodille

Que me pida perdón, que la comprenda,

¿No recuerda que un día se lo dije?

Yo no sirvo pa´ andar rumiando penas…

Si la china que enlaza mi cariño

Se me vuelve más tarde cimarrona,

¡Que se vaya! Que mi alma no es bordona

Pa´ quejarse llorando un mal amor.



¡Váyase la ingrata!… ¡Váyase enseguida!

¡Guárdese los besos que me quiere dar!

Que no supo usarlos pa´ endulzar mi vida

¡Besos que chasquiaron sólo pa´ engañar!

¡Váyase la ingrata!… ¡Váyase le digo!

¡Lárguese ya mismo con su mal querer!

No le tengo pena, no le doy abrigo

Ni por una noche… ¡Aunque sea mujer!



Es al ñudo que jure y se arrepienta

Que retuerza sus manos contra el pecho,

Si no supo cumplir con su promesa

¡No pretenda que yo le dé más tiempo!

Se lo dije de entrada… ¿Lo recuerda?

Que apenitas torciera su camino,

Se largara de aquí por donde vino

Lo sabía de sobra y lo olvidó.

English lyrics of the Vals "Aunque sea mujer"

It’s useless for her to cry and kneel,
To beg for forgiveness, to understand her,
Doesn’t she remember I once said?
I’m not one to wallow in sorrow…

If the woman tangled in my affection
Later turns wild,
Let her go! My soul is not a drone
To mourn a bad love with tears.

Let the ungrateful woman go! Leave right now!
Save the kisses you want to give me!
She didn’t know how to use them to sweeten my life,
Kisses that hissed just to deceive!

Let the ungrateful woman go! I tell her, go!
Get out right now with your poor love!
I don’t pity her, I don’t offer shelter
Not even for a night… Even though she’s a woman!

It’s useless for her to swear and repent,
To wring her hands against her chest,
If she failed to keep her promise,
Don’t expect me to give her more time!

I told her from the start… Does she remember?
That the moment she strayed from the path,
She should walk away the way she came,
She knew it well and she forgot.

Story behind the Tango Aunque sea mujer

The lyrics of “Aunque sea mujer” narrate the story of a stoic individual grappling with the pains of a faltering love. The singer addresses a woman who seeks forgiveness and reconciliation, yet he remains firm, asserting his unwillingness to endure deceit and betrayal, despite the societal expectation to forgive “because she is a woman.” The narrative is filled with a resolute refusal to accept half-hearted repentance, highlighting the strength and resolve in the face of emotional turmoil.



Symbolism of Aunque sea mujer

The song uses vivid imagery and symbolism to express themes of love, betrayal, and self-respect. Phrases like “Yo no sirvo pa´ andar rumiando penas” or “I am not one to ruminate over sorrows” suggest a sense of self-worth and an unwillingness to dwell on the past. The analogy of a “bordona” string not meant to resonate with the wails of a bad love suggests the singer’s role is not one of enduring unhappiness but resonating with genuine and rewarding experiences. The recurring command “Váyase” symbolizes the finality and the irrevocability of his decision, underscoring a strong dismissal of insincere contrition.



Aunque sea mujer in historic Context
