Con todo mi corazón is a Tango written by Reinaldo Yiso and composed by Ángel Condercuri.
The lyrics of “Con todo mi corazón” evocatively depict the pain and melancholy typical of classic tango themes, where love and betrayal are recurrent elements. The narrator describes how easy it is to forget, yet paradoxically, is himself unable to do so, finding himself night after night at the darkest table of a café, lost in his sorrows over a love that has departed. The lyrics suggest a deep emotional wound, one that even his friends acknowledge, revealed through their conversations that highlight his heartache.
The vivid imagery in “Con todo mi corazón” serves to intensify the emotional experience described. Phrases such as “clavarse en el corazón” (pierce the heart) and “calles de olvido” (streets of forgetfulness) symbolically illustrate the devastation and solitude that accompany lost love. The repetition of “hay que sentir esas cosas” (one must feel these things), emphasizes the inevitable and all-consuming nature of such experiences, which can only be understood through personal suffering and love given “con todo mi corazón” (with all my heart).
“Con todo mi corazón” was written and recorded in 1946, a time when Argentina was marked by political and social changes. This transitional period is subtly mirrored in the song’s themes of betrayal and disillusionment, which may metaphorically reflect broader societal sentiments of the time. The personal narrative of loss and resilience in the song resonates with the national mood of uncertainty and the pursuit of recovery after periods of strife.
Reinaldo Yiso was a renowned Argentine lyricist known for his poignant and evocative contributions to the tango genre.
