Déjame hablar is a Tango written by Abel Aznar and composed by Arturo Gallucci.
The tango “Déjame hablar” (Let Me Speak) vividly portrays a narrative of deep remorse and a desperate plea for reconciliation. The song captures the emotional turmoil of a protagonist who acknowledges past mistakes and desires nothing more than to be allowed the chance to express this newfound clarity and remorse. Through its lyrics, the tango navigates the themes of love, pain, and the human propensity for reflection and redemption.
The phrase “tengo el alma hecha pedazos” (my soul is shattered) symbolizes profound emotional devastation, highlighting the speaker’s unbearable inner turmoil and fragmentation. The recurring plea, “Déjame hablar” (Let me speak), symbolizes not only the need for verbal expression but also a desperate desire for closure and understanding. This motif serves as a gateway to the speaker’s soul, pleading for an opportunity to mend what was broken.
“Déjame hablar” was created and recorded in 1953, a period in Argentine history marked by political and social transformations. Post-World War II, Argentina was under the rule of Juan Domingo Perón, a time characterized by intense nationalism and political passion. This backdrop might have intensified the song’s emotional appeal, as it reflects a tense atmosphere of turmoil and the universal quest for personal reconciliation in a time of collective national identity struggle.
Abel Aznar was a prolific Argentine lyricist known for his deeply emotive and poignant tango lyrics. His works often explored themes of love, nostalgia, and human emotions.
