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 on your thoughts,
that’s how I spend the 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 are your kisses, 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 could see
how much my whole soul suffers
not having someone to love me
no one else 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

The song “Cuando se ha querido mucho” (When one has loved much) uniquely captures the essence of heartbreak and lingering love through its melancholic lyrics and intimate portrayal of personal sorrow. The use of repetitive elements, such as “Cigarrillo y mate, mate y cigarrillo,” symbolizes the constant, cyclical nature of the singer’s thoughts and his attempt to find solace in the mundane. The narrative unfolds a tale of a person haunted by memories, unable to escape the grip of a past lover’s presence, asking poignantly where their kisses have gone and what will become of him. This emotive questioning showcases the depth of his lost love and the profound impact it continues to have on his life.



Symbolism of Cuando se ha querido mucho

The recurring motifs of “cigarrillo” (cigarette) and “mate” (a traditional South American caffeine-rich infused drink) represent companionship and ritual, reflecting the protagonist’s solitude and yearning for the past. These symbols intimately connect the listener to the cultural context of the song, grounding the abstract emotions of loss and longing in everyday rituals. The darkness of the night (“y la noche oscura”) further intensifies the feeling of isolation and introspection, enveloping the protagonist as he grapples with his thoughts and memories.



Cuando se ha querido mucho in historic Context

Written in 1945, a time when Argentina was undergoing significant political and social changes, “Cuando se ha querido mucho” reflects the personal and collective sense of uncertainty and transition. The year 1945 was marked by the end of World War II and the beginning of Juan Domingo Perón’s rise to power in Argentina, events that infused Argentine society with themes of loss and hope alike. The tango, deeply ingrained in Argentine culture, served as a powerful medium to express the melancholic reflection and resilience characteristic of the era.
