Letra del Tango Cuando muere el corazón

Cuando muere el corazón
Se pierde la ilusión,
Cuando se sangra por dentro,
Conocemos el tormento
Nos aprisiona el dolor.

Cuando muere el corazón
Cuando todo es una mueca de terror,
Entonces sabemos
Recién comprendemos,
Que todo acabó…

Cobarde…
Fue seguir tras de sus pasos,
Si me hería en el fracaso
Sin perdón.
Inútil…
Fue ese llanto desgarrado,
Que brotó desesperado
De mi amor y mi dolor.
Por eso…
En un viaje sin regreso,
Me voy llevando sus besos
Y mi desesperación.

English lyrics of the Tango "Cuando muere el corazón"

When the heart dies
The illusion is lost,
When we bleed inside,
We know the torment,
Pain imprisons us.

When the heart dies
When everything is a grimace of terror,
Only then do we understand,
We fully comprehend,
That everything is over…

Coward…
It was to follow in her steps,
If failure hurt me
Without forgiveness.
Useless…
Was that heart-wrenching cry,
That sprang desperate
From my love and my pain.
Therefore…
On a journey with no return,
I take her kisses
And my despair.

Story behind the Tango Cuando muere el corazón

The Tango “Cuando muere el corazón,” written by Antonio Chidichimo, captures the visceral emotions experienced in the throes of heartbreak and romantic desolation. The lyrics poetically describe the death of the heart as not just a loss of love, but as a painful surrender to despair and hopelessness. It emphasizes the internal suffering and the consequential sense of imprisonment by pain, vividly illustrating the depth of emotional torment one undergoes when love fails.



Symbolism of Cuando muere el corazón

The song employs striking symbolism to epitomize the psychological effects of a broken heart. Phrases like “Se pierde la ilusión” and “Cuando se sangra por dentro” use the imagery of lost dreams and internal bleeding, suggesting an irrevocable loss and the deep, hidden wounds that come with it. The expression “viaje sin regreso,” a journey of no return, reflects the permanent impact of such emotional trauma, suggesting a departure from former joys and innocence, towards an irreversible state of despair.



Cuando muere el corazón in historic Context

Recorded in 1955, a time marked by evolving cultural and political landscapes in Argentina, “Cuando muere el corazón” may also subtly mirror the sentiments of loss and disillusionment prevalent in society. The yearning and dramatic expression found in the tango could also be reflecting a broader collective sentiment of uncertainty and mourning, sentiments that were common in the cultural fabric of Argentina during the mid-20th century. This historical context adds a layer of depth to the personal suffering depicted in the lyrics, possibly echoing a national feeling of grief or transition.
