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 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 are also Argentine
Why are they left aside?
My tango is the flag
That will rise wherever…
For them: the forgotten.

It’s time to start
To finish,
Instead of a flat land,
Instead of a flat land,
Build many small houses…
That, that’s what is needed
For the people of my neighborhood.

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

Story behind the Tango Con voz rebelde

“Con voz rebelde,” translating roughly to “With a Rebel Voice,” is a vociferous plea for social justice and a reflection of disparity in Buenos Aires. The lyrics penned by Carlos Zein starkly juxtapose the progress and poverty coexisting in this capital city. Zein employs the persona of an angered Buenos Aires local whose rebellion is fueled by the sight of unfulfilled promises and prevailing social inequities. This narrative is a vivid call to acknowledge and address the forgotten and marginalized sections of society.



Symbolism of Con voz rebelde

The tango uses potent symbolism to underscore its themes. “Es mi tango la bandera,” or “My tango is the flag,” symbolizes tango music itself as a rallying cry for the forgotten and marginalized, asserting that the spirit of the tango will champion the cause of the disenfranchised wherever it resonates. Moreover, the reference to “villas miseria” (shanty towns) contrasts sharply with phrases that allude to Buenos Aires priding itself on progress, highlighting the social and economic divides.



Con voz rebelde in historic Context

Recorded in 1966, a time of significant political and social tumult in Argentina, “Con voz rebelde” serves as a reflection and critique of the societal conditions of the time. Post-Perón Argentina grappled with instability and inequality, and Zein’s lyrics, with their emphasis on neglected promises and social justice, capture the essence of the era’s public dissent. The tango’s call for action, notably the construction of “casitas” in place of “horizontals,” or makeshift housing, mirrors the urgent need for actual solutions to housing crises and social disparities prevalent at that time.
