Letra del Tango Buscándote

Vagar…
Con el cansancio de mi eterno andar,
Tristeza amarga de la soledad
Ansias enormes de llegar.

Sabrás…
Que por la vida fui buscándote,
Que mis ensueños sin querer vencí
Que en algún cruce los dejé.

Mi andar apresuré
Con la esperanza de encontrarte a ti,
Largos caminos hilvané
Leguas y leguas recorrí por ti.

Después que entre tus brazos
Pueda descansar,
Si lo prefieres volveré a marchar
Por mi camino de ayer.

English lyrics of the Tango "Buscándote"

Wander…
With the weariness of my eternal walk,
Bitter sadness of loneliness
Great yearnings to arrive.

You’ll know…
That through life I’ve been searching for you,
That my dreams were unintentionally overcome
That at some crossroad I left them.

I hastened my walk
With the hope of finding you,
Long paths I stitched together
Leagues and leagues I traveled for you.

After I can rest
Within your arms,
If you prefer, I will return to march
On my yesterday’s path.

Story behind the Tango Buscándote

“Buscándote” portrays a story of a relentless search for a beloved, encapsulated through the melancholic but determined wanderings of its narrator. The lyrics express a profound sense of loneliness and longing, suggested by phrases such as “con el cansancio de mi eterno andar” (with the tiredness of my eternal wandering) and “tristeza amarga de la soledad” (bitter sadness of loneliness). This quest is motivated by an overwhelming desire symbolized by “ansias enormes de llegar” (immense yearning to arrive), indicating a deep emotional and, perhaps, existential pursuit.



Symbolism of Buscándote

Eduardo Scalise uses compelling symbolism through the journey motif, representing life’s broader search for meaning, connection, and ultimately, love. The repeated mention of “buscar” (searching), highlights this theme, unveiling the spectrum of human desire and the complexities of emotional fulfillment. Key phrases such as “mi andar apresuré con la esperanza de encontrarte” (I hastened my pace with the hope of finding you) and “largos caminos hilvané” (I sewed long roads together) emphasize an almost mythic quest through space and time to reach the beloved. The culmination of this journey is envisioned as a moment of rest “entre tus brazos” (in your arms), denoting a union or reconciliation with the sought emotion or person.



Buscándote in Historic Context

“Buscándote” was written in Argentina in 1941, a time marked by global upheaval and the early stages of World War II. The impact of broader social and economic instability may be felt in the song’s emotional landscape, mirrored in the themes of ceaseless searching and the desire for a resting place. The historical setting could have amplified the sense of wanderlust and existential seeking, resonant with a world in flux. This cultural milieu might have encouraged introspective reflection among people, using the tango as an expressive vehicle for deeper emotional and societal contemplations.
