Letra del Milonga Cimarrón de ausencia

Cimarrón sos más amargo
que el amor que viste ausencia (bis)
y sos polvo de querencia,
que llevó el camino largo
en el pesado letargo
de mis soledades muertas,
tu savia es aroma incierta
de tristes evocaciones,
y es sangre que a borbotones
pierdo de una herida abierta.

Sos atrancao, por momentos,
como lágrima enredada (bis)
flor agreste, tierra arada,
tu sabor es pampa y viento.
Pero sos también lamento
en el sorbo de la agonía
y en esta tristeza mía
que derramas en la tea
cuando a mi pulso flaquea
un temblor de lejanía.

Sos vertiente de agua mansa
que va regando el potrero, (bis)
tu calor es sol de enero
y tu verde es esperanza.
Sos puñal, rebenque y lanza,
blandiendo en puños de gloria.
Gota amarga ‘e la memoria
del que perdió su querencia.
Y estás ensillado de ausencia
como el flete de mi historia.

English lyrics of the Milonga "Cimarrón de ausencia "

Cimarron, you are more bitter
than love that saw absence (repeats)
and you’re the dust of longing,
carried by the long road
in the heavy lethargy
of my dead solitudes,
your sap is uncertain aroma
of sad evocations,
and is blood that in gushes
I lose from an open wound.

You’re barricaded, at times,
like tangled tears (repeats)
wildflower, plowed land,
your taste is plain and wind.
But you are also lament
in the sip of agony
and in this my sadness
you spill on the torch
when my pulse falters
with a tremor from afar.

You are a source of calm water
that waters the paddock, (repeats)
your warmth is January sun
and your green is hope.
You’re a dagger, whip, and lance,
wielded in fists of glory.
Bitter drop of memory
of one who lost their longing.
And you’re saddled with absence
like the steed of my story.

Story behind the Tango Cimarrón de ausencia

“Cimarrón de ausencia” is a deeply evocative tango that delves into themes of longing, nostalgia, and the bittersweet memories associated with loss. The lyrics weave a narrative of personal reflection, where the singer contemplates the absence of a cherished love, likening it to the profound bitterness of a wild, untamed brew—cimarrón—known for its unrestrained intensity. The tango employs rich metaphorical language to explore the emotional landscapes of solitude and the enduring weight of memories.

Symbolism of Cimarrón de ausencia

The song is rife with symbolic elements that enhance its thematic depth. The cimarrón, a term referring to both a type of untamed tea and metaphorically to a runaway slave in the context of Argentine culture, symbolizes the intense and uncontainable nature of the singer’s emotions. The recurring theme of absence (“ausencia”) serves as a poignant reminder of lost love, while imagery such as “polvo de querencia” (dust of affection) and “herida abierta” (open wound) evoke the enduring pain of longing. Key phrases like “sos también lamento” highlight the dual nature of the cimarrón as both comfort and sorrow, encapsulating the complex emotional interplay experienced by the protagonist.

Cimarrón de ausencia in historic Context

Written in Buenos Aires in 1945, a period marked by social and political changes in Argentina, the tango was a reflection of the urban experience intertwined with a longing for the rural past and lost personal connections. In this era, Buenos Aires was a cultural melting pot, and tango was a powerful medium for expressing the emotional turmoil and societal shifts experienced by the working-class populace. The references to the Argentine pampa and elements like “puñal” (dagger), “rebenque” (whip), and “lanza” (lance) underscore a connection to the land and a martial sense of struggle, reminding listeners of the country’s heritage and the personal battles for identity and belonging.

Juan Larenza was a renowned Argentine composer known for his valuable contributions to the tango genre. His compositions are celebrated for their emotional depth and lyrical poignancy that resonate with the cultural and historical intricacies of Argentina.
