Letra del Tango Dejame ser así

Dejáme que te quiera a mi manera,
dejáme seguir siendo como soy,
que no se pone en moldes el cariño,
ni se le pone riendas al corazón

Yo soy como los cardos del potrero,
curtido por los vientos y del sol,
pero también capaces de dar flores,
dejáme seguir siendo como soy

Si soy triste es por algo,
y si canto un dolor,
no será por capricho,
ni será por rencor.

Hay en mí algo raro,
que no alcancé a explicar,
pero por favor no me reproches,
que son cosas de ayer.

English lyrics of the Tango "Dejame ser así"

Let me love you in my own way,
let me continue to be who I am,
for affection doesn’t fit into molds,
nor can reins be put on the heart.

I am like the thistles in the field,
toughened by the winds and the sun,
yet still capable of bearing flowers,
let me continue to be who I am.

If I am sad, it’s for a reason,
and if I sing of pain,
it’s not from whim,
nor from bitterness.

There’s something strange within me,
that I haven’t managed to explain,
but please don’t reproach me,
for these are things of yesterday.

Story behind the Tango Dejame ser así

The tango “Dejame ser así” encapsulates a powerful narrative of self-acceptance and personal authenticity. It expresses a plea from the singer to be allowed to love and live in their own distinct way. The lyrics poetically argue that emotions and affections cannot be confined or standardized, symbolizing a broader plea for understanding and acceptance of individual differences. The singer compares himself to wild thistles, toughened by harsh weather yet capable of blooming beautifully, suggesting resilience and potential despite an unrefined exterior.



Symbolism of Dejame ser así

The imagery of “cardos del potrero” (thistles in the field) stands out as a potent symbol in this tango. It powerfully conveys the idea of resilience, natural strength, and unexpected beauty. This metaphor not only underscores the singer’s self-image but also reflects the beauty of raw, untempered nature and emotions. The contrasts in the imagery—between ruggedness and the ability to flower—beautifully symbolize the complex layers of human emotions and personality. Additionally, the request to not be held in “molds” or “reins” echoes a universal desire for freedom in expression and being.



Dejame ser así in historic Context

Recorded in 1938 Argentina, “Dejame ser así” arrives at a time when tango was both a popular cultural expression and a reflection of deeper societal conditions. The late 1930s in Argentina were marked by political and social turbulence, and tangos of the era often veiled critiques or reflections of society within their melancholy melodies and lyrics. In this turbulent context, the emphasis on personal authenticity can also be read as a subtle commentary on broader issues of identity and societal expectations in a changing world.
