Letra del Tango Dejá que la gente diga

Dejá que la gente diga;
vos sabés que el mundo intriga
por el gusto de intrigar.
Si me querés vos, queréme.
Cuando un hombre ama no teme
ni le importa el qué dirán.
Lo que hay es una punta de envidiosos
que sufren al sabernos tan dichosos
y al verme a mí tan tuya, los celosos
mi vida tiran a envenenar.

Mi corazón
era un barco a la deriva
que sin timón navegaba por la vida
hasta que halló en tu cariño cierto
el anhelado puerto
donde fiel amarró.

Dejá que la gente diga;
yo no he querido en mi vida
como a vos te sé querer.
Ya mi pasado no existe:
desde que vos me quisiste
creo que volví a nacer.
Decí a los que te vengan con macanas
que en vez de mí se ocupen de su hermana,
que vos y yo, porque nos da la gana,
vamos a querernos más cada vez.

English lyrics of the Tango "Dejá que la gente diga"

Let people talk;
you know the world schemes
just for the sake of scheming.
If you love me, love me.
When a man loves, he fears not
nor cares about what others say.
What exists are a bunch of envious folks
who suffer seeing us so happy
and seeing me so yours, the jealous ones
try to poison my life.

My heart
was a ship adrift
that without a rudder sailed through life
until it found in your love
the longed-for port
where it faithfully anchored.

Let people talk;
I’ve never loved in my life
as I know how to love you.
My past no longer exists:
since you loved me
I believe I was reborn.
Tell those who come to you with nonsense
that instead of me, they should mind their sister,
that you and I, because we feel like it,
are going to love each other more and more.

Symbolism of Dejá que la gente diga

The recurring theme of the song, symbolized by the phrase “Dejá que la gente diga” which translates to “Let people talk,” serves as a bold assertion of indifference towards societal judgement. This defiance is juxtaposed with the deeply personal confessions of love and renewal, marking the speaker’s transformation since falling in love. Phrases like “Mi corazón era un barco a la deriva” (My heart was a ship adrift) and “hasta que halló en tu cariño cierto el anhelado puerto” (until it found in your affection the longed-for port) use nautical imagery to depict the narrator’s previous aimlessness and the grounding effect their partner’s love has had on them.
