Letra del Tango De que podemos hablar

Recién te acordás, recién me decís
que estando a mi lado vos eras feliz.
Que hablando podemos volver a entendernos,
volver a querernos, que no me mentís.
Y hablarnos de qué, ¿decime de qué?.
¿Te quedan palabras que yo no escuché?
¿Te queda en los labios algún juramento
que no es un tormento que yo no pasé?

¿De qué podemos hablar,
sin corazón, sin ternura?
Después de tanta amargura,
después de tanto llorar.
El tiempo ayuda a olvidar,
tenemos otro destino…
¡Seguí! ¡Seguí tu camino!
¿De qué podemos hablar?

¿Por qué me mirás con tanto rencor?
No es mía la culpa si fue nuestro amor.
Un cielo primero, después un tormento,
después un infierno de angustia y dolor.
¿Por qué no te vas, por qué no seguís?
¡Vos nunca a mi lado podrás ser feliz!
¿No ves que en mi pecho yo tengo un vacío,
un miedo y un frío? ¿Por qué no seguís?

English lyrics of the Tango "De que podemos hablar"

Only now you remember, only now you say
That being by my side, you were happy each day.
That talking, we could once more understand,
Once more be lovers, you swear on that stand.
But talk to me of what? Tell me, of what?
Do you have words left that I’ve not yet sought?
Do you have on your lips a pledge that stands true,
A torment I haven’t already passed through?

What can we talk about,
Without heart, without tenderness?
After so much bitterness,
After so much to cry about.
Time helps us forget,
We have another path to find…
Go on! Follow your line!
What can we talk about?

Why do you gaze at me with so much disdain?
It’s not my fault if our love was in vain.
First like a sky, then a storm with no peace,
Then an inferno of sorrow and grief.
Why don’t you leave, why do you stay?
With me, you can never be happy anyway!
Can’t you see in my heart there’s an empty plight,
A fear and a chill? Why don’t you take flight?

Story behind the Tango De que podemos hablar

“De que podemos hablar” is a poignant exploration of the aftermath of a failed relationship, capturing the emotions and thoughts of someone who is confronted with the past by an old lover. The song opens with the protagonist expressing surprise at the other person’s sudden realization and reminiscence of happiness once shared.

The author narrates a tale of love turned sour, with moments of serene happiness now overshadowed by torment and bitterness.

Symbolism of De que podemos hablar

The tango employs rich symbolism to convey its emotional depth. The contrast between “sky” (cielo) and “hell” (infierno) symbolizes the extreme shifts from initial happiness to subsequent misery in love. The recurring question, “¿De qué podemos hablar?” (“What can we talk about?”) symbolizes the emptiness and futility of words after so much has transpired, suggesting there are no new conversations to heal their bruised hearts. The “empty chest” and “cold fear” illustrate the internal void and lingering anxiety of the protagonist, reinforcing the emotional impact of the broken relationship.
