Letra del Tango Como una de tantas

Evitate esta vergüenza

No me des explicación,

Entregate como quieras

A los brazos de cualquiera

Que eso es fácil para vos.

No me importa lo que sea

El mal trago lo pasé,

Cuando supe que eras de ésas

Que del último que llega

Quieren hacerse querer.

No esperé nunca de vos…

Esta sucia canallada,

Uno es ciego por amor

Y lo mata la confianza.

Pero ahora que pasó

Me consuela en mi desgracia,

De saber al fin que sos

Una más de las que hay tantas.

Tu destino es ir rodando

Por las calles del amor,

Y pasar de mano en mano

Hasta dar con el fulano

Que se clave al fin con vos.

Y en tu loca desvergüenza

Me da pena comprobar,

Que es tan grande tu inconsciencia

Que vivís sin darte cuenta

Que te espera un mal final.

English lyrics of the Tango "Como una de tantas"

Avoid this embarrassment

Don’t give me an explanation,

Surrender as you wish

Into the arms of anyone

For that is easy for you.

I don’t care what it is

I’ve been through the bad times,

When I found out you were one of those

Who seek to be loved by

The last one that arrives.

I never expected from you…

This dirty betrayal,

One is blind for love

And killed by trust.

But now that it’s over

I find solace in my misfortune,

Knowing at last that you are

Just one of the many.

Your destiny is to go rolling

Through the streets of love,

And pass from hand to hand

Until you find the guy

Who finally sticks with you.

And in your crazy shamelessness

It saddens me to see,

That your unawareness is so great

You live without realizing

That a bad end awaits you.

Story behind the Tango Como una de tantas

The song Como una de tantas (Like One of So Many) delves into a tale of disappointment and betrayal in love. The narrator confronts his lover, expressing disillusionment upon discovering her unfaithfulness. There’s a sense of deep betrayal, not just from the infidelity but from the shattering of trust and the realization that the lover is not who he thought she was—instead, she’s like “one of so many” who can easily give herself to others without remorse.

Symbolism of Como una de tantas

The symbolism in the lyrics is predominantly dark, highlighting themes of disillusionment and the loss of innocence in love. Phrases like “Tu destino es ir rodando por las calles del amor” (Your destiny is to roll through the streets of love) metaphorically suggest a loss of direction, dignity, and the constant changing of partners. Another impactful phrase, “No esperé nunca de vos… Esta sucia canallada,” (I never expected from you… This dirty foul play) uses the imagery of dirt and play to depict the deceit’s unexpected and filthy nature.
