Letra del Tango Cualquier cosa

Cualquier cosa resultaste
para que un hombre derecho
tu maldad tomara a pecho
entregándose al ‘splin’.
Con tu acción me comprobaste
lo que de ti suponía
que tu amor me sonreía
para lograr otro fin.

Loca mía,
alma cruel y atravesada
por tu artera puñalada
toda mi dicha perdí.
Quién diría
que tu pensamiento terco
te volviera flor de cerco
y no encanto para mí.

Tus divinos ojos verdes
mezcla de mar y de cielo
han dejado un desconsuelo
que amargo mi corazón.
Quiera Dios que no te acuerdes
de volver ya que te fuiste
porque el daño que me hiciste
no merece mi perdón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Cualquier cosa"

You turned out to be something else,
for an upright man
to take your evil to heart,
yielding himself to melancholy.
With your actions, you confirmed
what I had suspected of you:
that your love was smiling at me
just to achieve another end.

My crazy one,
cruel soul crossed
by your cunning stab,
I lost all my joy.
Who would have said
that your stubborn mind
would turn you into a mere boundary flower
and not a delight for me?

Your divine green eyes,
a mix of sea and sky,
have left a despair
that has soured my heart.
May God forbid that you remember
to return now that you have left,
because the harm you did me
does not deserve my forgiveness.

Story behind the Tango Cualquier cosa

“Cualquier cosa” translates directly to “Anything” in English, denoting a sense of betrayal and disappointment. The lyrics tell a story of disillusionment in love, where the singer feels deceived by someone they once trusted deeply. The emotional depth of the song portrays a journey from enchantment to heartbreak, revealing the betraying lover’s true nature through a painful personal experience.



Symbolism of Cualquier cosa

The use of natural imagery, particularly in the phrases “tus divinos ojos verdes, mezcla de mar y de cielo,” symbolizes a deep sense of betrayal. The green eyes that once symbolized a blend of heaven and sea now represent a well of despair. The use of “flor de cerco” – a common and perhaps invasive plant – contrasts sharply with any rare or delicate flower, suggesting that the lover is commonplace and possibly damaging. Each of these elements works to enhance the feeling of a paradise lost, making the lover’s betrayal even more poignant.



Cualquier cosa in historic Context

Recorded in Argentina in 1952, “Cualquier cosa” mirrors a period when Tango music often explored themes of despair, melancholy, and unrequited love. Post-World War II Argentina faced significant political and economic changes, and these social uncertainties often found their way into the arts. As Tango is deeply woven into the cultural fabric of Argentina, the song reflects not only personal loss but also a broader sense of instability and change.



Juan Velich, Herminia Velich

Juan Velich and Herminia Velich, possibly collaborators in life and in art, contributed to the rich legacy of Tango through their evocative and emotional compositions.
