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 road of my fate,

without the shelter of your gaze,

I am like a bird whose song along the way

broke its chords.

The radiant dawn is born,

clear morning, beautiful rose bush,

the star shines, the fountain sings,

life laughs, because you are here.

When you are not here, the flower does not scent,

if you leave, the mist envelops me;

the thrush, the fountain, and the stars

lose their allure for me.

When you are not here, my hope dies,

if you leave, my dream departs.

Hear my lament, which I trust 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

The tango “Cuando tú no estás” captures a narrative of profound loss and longing. It portrays the emotional desolation of someone who feels directionless and incomplete without the presence of a beloved. This song, deeply imbued with sentiments of solitude and despair, illustrates how vitally the subject’s sense of self and happiness depends on their cherished one’s presence.



Symbolism of Cuando tú no estás

Symbolism within “Cuando tú no estás” centers around imagery drawn from nature to emphasise the emotional landscape. The “broken strings of song” symbolically represent lost joy and brokenness in life without the loved one. Elements such as the dawn (“nace la aurora resplandeciente”), the rose garden (“claro rosal”), and the singing fountain (“canta la fuente”) contrast the beauty of life with the beloved to the stark emptiness when they are absent. The beauty in life is fundamentally tied to the presence of this person, and without them, even nature’s miracles lose their allure.



Cuando tú no estás in historic Context

“Cuando tú no estás” was recorded in 1933, a turbulent time in Argentina marked by political instability and societal changes. The yearning and nostalgia in the lyrics might reflect a broader cultural sentiment of loss and disillusionment during this era. The tango, being a quintessential Argentine music form, served not only as a vehicle for personal expression but also mirrored the emotional undercurrents of its time, capturing a collective sense of longing and melancholy.



Alfredo Le Pera, Mario Battistella
