Letra del Tango De vuelta al bulín

Percanta que arrepentida
de tu juida
has vuelto al bulín,
con todos los despechos
que vos me has hecho, te perdoné…
Cuántas veces contigo
y con mis amigos
me encurdelé,
y en una noche de atorro
en el cotorro no te encontré.

Te busqué por todo el cuarto,
imaginándome, mi vida,
que estuvieras escondida
para darme un alegrón.
Luego vi si del ropero
la ropa ya habías quitado,
y al ver que la habías llevado
lagrimeó mi corazón.

La carta de despedida
que me dejaste al irte,
decia que ibas a unirte
con quien te diera otro amor.
La repasé varias veces
no podía conformarme
de que fueras a amurarme
por otro bacán mejor.

Recuerdo aquellos días
cuando me decías
mirándome:
Mi amor es sincero y puro,
y yo te juro
que te amaré.
Y que al darte un abrazo
en tus ojazos
lágrimas vi.
Yo no sé, vida mía
cómo has podido engrupirme así.

English lyrics of the Tango "De vuelta al bulín "

Repentant darling
from your flight
you’ve returned to our den,
with all the grievances
you caused me, I forgave you…
How many times with you
and with my friends
I got drunk,
and one night in our hideout
I couldn’t find you there.

I searched all over the room,
imagining, my dear,
that you might be hidden
to bring joy to me.
Then I looked if from the wardrobe
your clothes you had taken,
and seeing they were gone
my heart wept tears.

The farewell letter
you left when you went away,
said you were to join
someone who’d give you love anew.
I read it several times
I couldn’t reconcile myself
to you leaving me
for another better beau.

I remember those days
when you would say
looking at me:
My love is sincere and pure,
and I promise
that I’ll love you.
And as you embraced me
in your big eyes
I saw tears.
I don’t know, my dear,
how you could deceive me so.

Story behind the Tango De vuelta al bulín

“De vuelta al bulín” tells a story of heartbreak and nostalgia. It captures the emotional turmoil of returning to a shared space—a “bulín” or small room—once filled with love and joy, only to find it empty and deserted. The protagonist grapples with feelings of betrayal and longing as he recalls the vows of love that were broken and the promises that now ring hollow. The lyrics evoke a world of lost dreams and unfulfilled promises, all set against the backdrop of Buenos Aires, reflecting a deeply personal tale of love lost and perhaps found again.

Symbolism of De vuelta al bulín

The bulín itself stands as a powerful symbol of domestic intimacy and the collapse of personal relationships. It is not just a physical space but a repository of memories and emotions. The motif of searching in the dark, the emptiness of the room, and the absence of the beloved amplify the sense of loss. Key phrases such as “Percanta que arrepentida” capture the complexity of forgiveness and remorse, while “lagrimeó mi corazón” eloquently communicates the depth of heartache. The reconciliatory tone in “te perdoné” adds a level of emotional complexity, presenting a fragile hope amidst despair.

De vuelta al bulín in historic Context

The tango offers a glimpse into the emotional lives of those who lived through the economic and social upheavals of the time, contributing to its enduring resonance.
