Letra del Tango Corazón

Corazón, me estás mintiendo…
Corazón, ¿por qué lloras?
No me ves que voy muriendo
de esta pena a tu compás.
Si sabés que ya no es mía,
que a otros brazos se entregó,
no desmayes todavía,
sé constante como yo.
Dame tu latido
que yo quiero arrancar
esta flor de olvido
que ella ha prendido
sobre mi mal.

Corazón,
no la llames
ni le implores,
que de tus amores
nunca has merecido
tanta humillación.
Creo en Dios
y la vida,
con sus vueltas,
sé que de rodillas
la traerá a mis puertas
a pedir perdón.

Ya verás, cuando retorne
y en sus pasos traiga fe,
que no es loca mi esperanza,
que no en vano la lloré.
Yo tendré en mi boca un beso
para su desolación
y mis manos las caricias
que le entreguen el perdón.
Pero si no viene
¡yo no quiero vivir!
Y en mi triste noche
sin un reproche
sabré morir…

English lyrics of the Tango "Corazón"

Heart, you’re lying to me…
Heart, why do you cry?
Can’t you see I’m dying
from this sorrow to your beat.
If you know she’s not mine anymore,
that she gave herself to other arms,
don’t falter yet,
be as steadfast as I am.
Give me your beat
because I want to take
this flower of forgetfulness
that she has planted
upon my wound.

Heart,
don’t call her
nor implore,
for in your loves
you never deserved
so much humiliation.
I believe in God
and in life,
with its turns,
I know that on her knees
she will return to my door
to ask for forgiveness.

You will see, when she returns
and in her steps brings faith,
that my hope is not crazy,
that I didn’t cry in vain.
I’ll have a kiss on my lips
for her desolation
and my hands the caresses
that will grant her forgiveness.
But if she doesn’t come
I don’t want to live!
And in my sad night
without a reproach
I’ll know how to die…

Story behind the Tango Corazón

The central narrative of “Corazón” is an intimate plea to the heart, personified as a confidant and witness to love’s trials and tribulations. The lyricist captures the deep sorrow and longing of unrequited love or love lost. The narrator grapples with despair, yet clings to hope and faith, believing in the possibility of reconciliation and redemption. The sincerity and poignancy of these emotions are evident in the way the narrator oscillates between despair and a yearning hope that the beloved may return.

Symbolism of Corazón

The heart (“corazón”) is a key symbol in the lyrics, representing both the capacity to endure pain and the hope for eventual reconciliation. The imagery is rich with contrasts, such as “flor de olvido” (flower of forgetfulness) and “sus desolación” (her desolation), which evoke a sense of both loss and potential rebirth. The “latido” (heartbeat) signifies life and continuity, suggesting resilience in the face of adversity. The formula “Creo en Dios y la vida, con sus vueltas” evokes faith in destiny’s circular path, emphasizing the singer’s belief in life’s capacity for change and redemption.

Corazón in historic Context

The late 1930s was a period of significant socio-economic change in Argentina, reflected in the intimacy and depth of tango music and lyrics that often tell of personal and societal struggles. The vibrant, yet melancholic tone of “Corazón” captures the spirit of an era when people relied on music to express profound personal emotions and to foster a sense of shared cultural identity. Buenos Aires, being the birthplace of tango, provides a colorful backdrop that informs the emotive depth and longing depicted in the lyrics.
