Letra del Vals Canción del soltero

Yo no quiero ni novias ni suegras
Solterito me quiero quedar,
Y me río de aquel que me dice
Muy prontito me voy a casar.
Cómo quieren que uno se enlace
Si las papas y el pan valen más,
El carbón y la luz, ¡Dios me libre!
Si hasta palmo para respirar.

Ser soltero… (sí, sí)
Ser casado… (no, no),
Divertirse, cantar y bailar.
Celibato… (sí, sí)
La libreta… (no, no),
Son diez pesos para festejar.

El soltero es feliz
Va al “Casino”, “Tabarís”,
Una vez casi más me ensarté,
Cuando estaba camino hacia el Templo, pensé
En mi suegra y me hice perdiz.

Y si a uno le toca una “mami”
De esas que no lo dejan ni hablar,
Que no fume, no juegue, no baile
No es posible, señor, aguantar.
Alquileres, vestidos, los nenes
Veraneo, es mucho gastar,
Yo no quiero pensar en casarme
(solterito se quiere quedar).

English lyrics of the Vals "Canción del soltero"

I don’t want any girlfriends or mothers-in-law,
I’d rather stay a single man,
And I laugh at those who tell me
I’m going to get married very soon.
How can they expect someone to tie the knot
When potatoes and bread cost so much,
Coal and electricity, God spare me!
It even costs to breathe.

To be single… (yes, yes)
To be married… (no, no),
To have fun, sing and dance.
Celibacy… (yes, yes)
The notebook… (no, no),
Ten pesos for a celebration.

The bachelor is happy
He goes to “Casino”, “Tabarís”,
Once I almost got myself caught,
As I was on my way to the Temple, I thought
Of my mother-in-law and turned into a partridge.

And if one ends up with a “mommy”
The kind who won’t even let him talk,
No smoking, no gambling, no dancing,
It’s impossible, sir, to endure.
Rent, clothes, the kids
Summer holidays, that’s too much spending,
I don’t even want to think about getting married
(he wants to stay single).

Story behind the Tango Canción del soltero

The lyrics of “Canción del soltero,” literally “Bachelor’s Song” in English, narrate the perspective of a man who opts to remain single, rejoicing in his freedom and expressing skepticism about marriage. The protagonist humorously dismisses the idea of settling down, citing the increasing costs of everyday essentials as well as the responsibilities that come with a family. This outlook is captured through his contemplations about expenses such as food, utilities, children, and vacations, eventually concluding that bachelorhood spares him such burdens.

Symbolism of Canción del soltero

Symbolism in “Canción del soltero” centers around the contrast between a carefree single life and a restrained married life. References to places like “Casino” and “Tabarís” symbolize joy, freedom, and entertainment, spaces where the protagonist feels he can be his true self. Conversely, the ‘libreta’ or notebook, traditionally a symbol for household expenditures or obligations, represents the financial and personal constraints he believes marriage entails. Significant phrases like “Solterito me quiero quedar” and “Ser soltero… (sí, sí) Ser casado… (no, no),” underscore his firm stance on embracing bachelorhood over marriage.
