Letra del Tango Con voz rebelde

Soy un porteño amargao
Y con razón
Quiero gritar la verdad…
¿Pa´ qué se habla de igualdad
con tantas villas miseria?
Mi Buenos Aires es tierra
Orgullosa del progreso,
¿Pero qué hacemos con eso?
Si en sus orillas tangueras,
Muchos hermanos esperan
Ansiosamente un hogar.

Con mi voz rebelde quiero
Llegar hasta la conciencia,
De los que ayer prometieron
Y hoy que pueden desde arriba
Muestran sólo indiferencia.
Si también son argentinos
¿Por qué los dejan a un lao?,
Es mi tango la bandera
Que se alzará donde quiera…
Por ellos: los olvidaos.

Es hora ya de empezar
Pa´ terminar,
Que en vez de un horizontal,
Que en vez de un horizontal,
Levanten muchas casitas…
Eso, eso es lo que necesita
La gente de mi arrabal.

Coda:
Es mi tango la bandera,
Que se alzará donde quiera
Por ellos: los olvidaos…

English lyrics of the Tango "Con voz rebelde"

I’m a bitter man from Buenos Aires
And rightly so
I want to shout the truth…
Why talk of equality
with so many shantytowns?
My Buenos Aires is a land
Proud of progress,
But what do we do with that?
If on its tango shores,
Many brothers and sisters wait
Eagerly for a home.

With my rebellious voice I want
To reach the conscience
Of those who promised yesterday
And today, from above,
Show only indifference.
If they too are Argentineans
Why are they left aside?
My tango is the flag
That will rise wherever it must…
For them: the forgotten.

It’s time to start
To end this,
Instead of just one level,
Instead of just one level,
Build many little houses…
That’s what the people of my neighborhood
Need.

Coda:
My tango is the flag,
That will rise wherever it must
For them: the forgotten…

Story behind the Tango Con voz rebelde

“Con voz rebelde” translates to “With a rebellious voice” in English. This title reflects the song’s themes and the emotional tone of the lyrics. Carlos Zein uses his tango as a platform to voice the frustrations and inequalities seen in Buenos Aires, specifically highlighting the disparities between promises made by those in power and the harsh realities of the marginalized communities living in shantytowns (villas miseria). The poignant complaint of the speaker identifies an underlying narrative of struggle against socio-economic disparities.



Symbolism of Con voz rebelde

The choice of words such as “bandera” (flag) symbolizes tango not just as a dance or musical genre, but as a cultural institution capable of highlighting and perhaps remedying social inequities. The repeated references to “los olvidaos” (the forgotten ones) and “villas miseria” (misery villages) paint a vivid picture of the overlooked or neglected segments of society. The tango acts as a flag representing the plight of these communities, invoking a sense of unity and duty among listeners to address these injustices.



Con voz rebelde in Historic Context

Released in 1966, a period marked by political and social upheaval in Argentina, “Con voz rebelde” mirrors the turbulence of its time. This era saw Argentina grappling with rapid urbanization, which unfortunately expanded urban poverty zones such as the villas miseria. Carlos Zein uses the tango to campaign for awareness and action amidst these changes, appealing to the conscience of those in positions of power who “muestran sólo indiferencia” (show only indifference).
