Letra del Tango Consejos

Reíte hermano, no llorés nunca,
bebé tu llanto como un licor.
Cerrá las puertas de tu desgracia,
que nadie sepa tu gran dolor.
Si de tu herida la sangre mana
porque la ingrata te traicionó,
no te violentes, quién no te dice
que al traicionarte te hizo un favor.

No esperés nunca la mano amiga
si por desgracia te ves muy mal.
Desamarrate, cambiá de ruta
que hay que capearlo al temporal.
Vivila siempre sin tener penas
así te muerda un gran dolor,
cerrá los ojos y hacé de cuenta
que ha sido un sueño, y se acabó.

Son mis consejos sanos y puros
de mi experiencia los frutos son.
Aprovechálos como un recuerdo
de un viejo amigo que te los dio.
Y si mañana tu nueva estrella
te alumbra claro, te hace feliz,
no te des vuelta, seguí adelente
que has encontrado tu porvenir.

English lyrics of the Tango "Consejos"

Laugh, brother, don’t ever cry,
drink your tears like a liquor.
Close the doors to your misfortune,
let no one know your great pain.
If blood flows from your wound
because the ungrateful one betrayed you,
don’t be upset, who’s to say
that in betraying you, she did you a favor.

Never wait for a helping hand
if by misfortune you are very down.
Cut yourself loose, change your path
as one must weather the storm.
Live always without any sorrows
even if a great pain bites,
close your eyes and pretend
it was a dream, and it’s over.

These are my sound and pure advices,
the fruits of my experience.
Take them as a memory
from an old friend who gave them to you.
And if tomorrow your new star
clearly illuminates, makes you happy,
don’t turn around, keep moving forward
for you have found your future.

Story behind the Tango Consejos

The tango “Consejos,” which translates to “Advice” in English, is a poignant expression of resilience and self-counsel in the face of heartbreak and adversity. The lyrics, written in a direct and straightforward manner, advise the listener to conceal their pain and sorrow, suggesting strength in privacy and stoicism. The essence of the tango lies in enduring personal suffering without burdening others, and instead, transforming the pain into a solitary journey of overcoming and learning.



Symbolism of Consejos

Nolo López uses rich symbolism and metaphors throughout “Consejos” to deepen the emotional appeal. Key phrases like “bebé tu llanto como un licor” (drink your tears like liquor) and “cerrá los ojos y hacé de cuenta que ha sido un sueño, y se acabó” (close your eyes and pretend it was all a dream, and it’s over) exemplify the internalization of grief and the deliberate effort to move beyond it. The advice not to wait for a helping hand but instead to change paths allegorically represents a storm (“capearlo al temporal”), urging the listener to navigate through life’s challenges independently.



Consejos in historic Context

Written during the early 1940s in Argentina, “Consejos” emerges from a period marked by significant political and social upheaval. The advice given in the tango may mirror the broader societal need for resilience and self-reliance. During this era, Argentina faced internal conflicts and external pressures that would shape its mid-century trajectory. This historical backdrop adds a layer of depth to the lyrics, as it emphasizes the importance of personal fortitude in uncertain times.
