Letra del Tango Cuando se ha querido mucho

Cigarrillo y mate, mate y cigarrillo,
y la noche oscura castigándome.
Y mi pensamiento en tu pensamiento,
así estoy las horas recordándote.
Cigarrillo y mate, mate y cigarrillo,
y una pena grande, por lo que sufrí
y por lo que sufro, cuando me pregunto
dónde están tus besos, que será de mí.

No entiendo
cómo puede estar viviendo,
será porque te estoy viendo
mucho más cerca que nunca,
a pesar de que no estás.
Si vieras
cuánto sufre mi alma entera
al no tener quien me quiera
en la vida nadie más.

Cigarrillo y mate, mate y cigarrillo,
y un hombre angustiado, sin saber qué hacer.
Si seguir luchando o seguir tus pasos,
porque tengo ganas de volverte a ver.

English lyrics of the Tango "Cuando se ha querido mucho"

Cigarette and mate, mate and cigarette,
and the dark night punishing me.
And my thoughts in your thoughts,
that’s how I spend hours remembering you.
Cigarette and mate, mate and cigarette,
and a great sorrow, for what I suffered
and what I suffer, when I wonder
where your kisses are, what will become of me.

I don’t understand
how I can still be living,
maybe because I’m seeing you
much closer than ever,
even though you’re not here.
If you saw
how much my whole soul suffers
from having no one else who loves me
in life.

Cigarette and mate, mate and cigarette,
and a distressed man, not knowing what to do.
Whether to keep fighting or follow your steps,
because I long to see you again.

Story behind the Tango “Cuando se ha querido mucho”

“Cuando se ha querido mucho,” translated as “When there has been a lot of love,” is a tango that resonates deeply with themes of love, loss, and loneliness. The lyrics narrate a person’s mourning over a lost love, symbolized through the repetitive activities of smoking cigarettes and drinking mate. These activities are infused with a sense of routine and despair, depicting a life haunted by memories and unanswered questions about their lost love. Through suffering and remembrance, the song explores how love’s impact can echo long after separation, leaving individuals caught between moving forward and clinging to the past.



Symbolism of “Cuando se ha querido mucho”

The imagery of “cigarrillo y mate, mate y cigarrillo” (cigarette and mate, mate and cigarette) portrays the mundane and routine, highlighting the protagonist’s ongoing struggle to find normalcy amidst emotional turmoil. This repetition marks the passing time spent in solace but also underscores a ritualistic connection to their absent lover. The darkness of the night is used symbolically to reflect the inner turmoil and deep loneliness the speaker is experiencing. The confrontation with existential questions like “where are your kisses, what will become of me?” reveals the deep scars left behind after profound emotional bonds are broken.



“Cuando se ha querido mucho” in Historic Context
