Letra del Cancion Cuando tú no estás

Solo en la ruta de mi destino

sin el amparo de tu mirar,

soy como un ave que en el camino

rompió las cuerdas de su cantar.



Nace la aurora resplandeciente,

clara mañana, bello rosal,

brilla la estrella, canta la fuente,

ríe la vida, porque tú estás.



Cuando no estás la flor no perfuma,

si tú te vas, me envuelve la bruma;

el zorzal, la fuente y las estrellas

pierden para mí su seducción.



Cuando no estás muere mi esperanza,

si tú te vas se va mi ilusión.

Oye mi lamento, que confío al viento,

todo es dolor cuando tú no estás.

English lyrics of the Cancion "Cuando tú no estás"

Alone on the path of my fate

without the shelter of your gaze,

I am like a bird on the road

that broke the strings of its song.

The radiant dawn is born,

clear morning, beautiful rose garden,

the star shines, the spring sings,

life laughs, because you are here.

When you’re not here the flower does not scent,

if you go away, I’m engulfed in mist;

the thrush, the spring, and the stars

lose their allure to me.

When you are not here my hope dies,

if you go away, my illusion goes too.

Hear my lament, which I entrust to the wind,

everything is pain when you are not here.

Cuando tú no estás by Alfredo Le Pera, Mario Battistella

Cuando tú no estás is a Tango written by Alfredo Le Pera, Mario Battistella and composed by Carlos Gardel, Marcel Lattes.



Story behind the Tango Cuando tú no estás

“Cuando tú no estás” translates to “When You Are Not Here” in English, perfectly capturing the essence of longing and absence conveyed throughout the lyrics. The narrative voice in the tango describes a profound sense of loss and emptiness that pervades when the loved one is absent. Metaphors of a journey and nature without its beauty echo the deep emotional landscape of the speaker, emphasizing a life devoid of meaning and joy without the beloved.



Symbolism of Cuando tú no estás

The lyric employs rich natural imagery to symbolize the inner state of the speaker. The “broken strings of his song” represent a silenced joy, while the subdued flora and fauna—flowers that do not perfume, a singing thrush that loses its allure—mirror the speaker’s bleak emotional condition in the absence of their beloved. Such symbolism enhances the themes of loss and yearning, making the song’s emotional undercurrent palpable.



Cuando tú no estás in historic Context

Written in 1932, during a period of profound political and social changes in Argentina, “Cuando tú no estás” might reflect a collective sense of nostalgia and uncertainty felt by many. This era was marked by the infusion of modernity into traditional Argentine culture, where tango music itself was transforming into a more reflective and narrative driven genre. The song’s exploration of personal and emotional absences can be seen as metaphorically resonant with a society grappling with its rapidly changing identity.



Alfredo Le Pera, Mario Battistella
