Letra del Tango Calla corazón

Quiero ahogarte en mi recuerdo,
sepultarte en el olvido,
no acordarme de que has sido
para mí luz y ternura.
Fundirte en la noche oscura
de mi olvido sin piedad,
reaccionar de mi locura
y borrándote de mi alma
ver si puedo hallar la calma.

¡Calla corazón,
sangrante y triste,
sin fe ni bonanza!
Viento de traición
fue el que apagó
la luz de tu esperanza.
¿Para qué querés
seguir latiendo
sin paz, ni alegría?
¡Calla, de una vez
y a nadie digas
tu oculto dolor!

Como un manto de tristeza
la soledad gris y fría,
va recubriendo mis días
y plateando mi cabeza.
Hoy ya tengo la certeza
de que nunca volverás
y la angustia me atraviesa,
al pensar que te he querido,
y tan fácil te he perdido…

English lyrics of the Tango "Calla corazón"

I want to drown you in my memory,
bury you in forgetfulness,
not remember that you have been
to me light and tenderness.
Meld into the dark night
of my merciless oblivion,
react from my madness
and by erasing you from my soul
see if I can find peace.

Be silent, heart,
bleeding and sad,
without faith or fortune!
A wind of betrayal
was what extinguished
the light of your hope.
Why do you want
to keep beating
without peace, nor joy?
Be silent, once and for all
and tell no one
your hidden pain!

Like a cloak of sadness
the gray and cold loneliness,
is covering my days
and silvering my head.
Today I am certain
that you will never return
and anguish pierces me,
to think that I have loved you,
and so easily I have lost you…

Story behind the Tango Calla corazón

The lyrics of “Calla corazón” express a deep struggle with memories and a desire to forget a past love that brought both light and tenderness but ended in betrayal. The singer wants to bury those memories in oblivion, hoping to find peace by erasing the presence of that past love from their soul. This internal conflict highlights the psychological theme of fighting between holding on and letting go of painful memories.



Symbolism of Calla corazón

The tango uses vivid symbolism to enhance its emotional expression. Phrases like “Fundirte en la noche oscura” (Melt you into the dark night) and “como un manto de tristeza” (like a cloak of sadness) lyrically depict the engulfing nature of sadness and despair. The recurring command, “Calla corazón” (Silence, heart), serves as a poignant plea to the heart to stop reliving the pain and refrain from exposing its suffering to the world. The use of elements like wind and coldness symbolizes the chilling effect of betrayal and loneliness on the soul.



Calla corazón in historic Context

Recorded in 1942, during a period of immense global and local upheavals due to World War II and the accompanying societal changes in Argentina, “Calla corazón” reflects a universal theme of personal anguish amidst broader chaos. This period in Argentina was marked by political and economic transitions, influencing the arts as channels of expression for common people coping with uncertainties. The tango’s melancholic tone and themes of loss and resignation might reflect the broader mood of its era, resonating deeply with an audience grappling with similar personal and collective uncertainties.
