Letra del Tango Diez años

Diez años transcurrieron desde entonces

cuando temblando llegué hasta ti,

diez años que sirvieron para hundirme

y quitarme hasta las ganas de vivir…

Entonces, buenamente yo soñaba

un mundo nuevo, para los dos.

Y Dios, allá en el cielo solo sabe,

hasta dónde yo he llegado por tu amor.



Cuántas veces en mi pecho has sollozado,

cuántas noches en mis brazos te he acunado.

Y esas horas de ternuras no han servido

para atarte como yo me ató a tu amor…

Otra boca hoy te seduce con sus besos,

y me dejas sin pensar en mi dolor…

Diez años que son mi juventud

destrozados por tu cruel ingratitud.



Ninguna como yo sabrá brindarte,

tanta ternura, tanta lealtad,

yo fui con tu dolor como una madre

como nadie te he sabido consolar…

Andate… No me dejes ni el recuerdo.

No quiero nada, nada de vos…

Que Dios allá en el cielo solo sabe

hasta dónde yo he llegado por tu amor.





(Para adaptarse al masculino cántese ésta última parte de la siguiente manera:

Ninguno como yo sabrá brindarte,

tanta ternura, tanta lealtad.

Yo fui con tu dolor como un hermano;

como nadie te he sabido idolatrar…

Andate, no me dejes ni un recuerdo,

no quiero nada, nada de vos, etc….

Que Dios allá en el cielo solo sabe

hasta dónde yo he llegado por tu amor.)

English lyrics of the Tango "Diez años"

Ten years have passed since then,
when trembling I reached out to you,
ten years that served to sink me
and take away even my will to live…

Then, naively, I dreamt
of a new world, for us both.
And God up in the sky alone knows,
how far I’ve gone for your love.

How many times have you sobbed on my chest,
how many nights I’ve cradled you in my arms.
And those hours of tenderness were useless
to bind you as I was bound to your love…
Another mouth now seduces you with its kisses,
and you leave without thinking of my pain…
Ten years that were my youth
shattered by your cruel ingratitude.

No one will know how to offer you
as much tenderness, as much loyalty,
I was with your pain like a mother
like no one else knew how to console you…
Go away… Leave me not even a memory.
I want nothing, nothing from you…
God up in the sky alone knows
how far I’ve gone for your love.

(To adapt to the masculine, sing this last part as follows:
No one like me will know how to offer you,
so much tenderness, so much loyalty.
I was with your pain like a brother;
like no one else knew how to idolize you…
Go away, leave me not a single memory,
I want nothing, nothing from you, etc….
God up in the sky alone knows
how far I’ve gone for your love.)

Story behind the Tango Diez años

“Diez años,” translating to “Ten Years” in English, poetically narrates the story of profound love and eventual heartbreak over a decade. The lyrics reflect a poignant journey from the hopeful beginning of a relationship, filled with dreams of a shared future, to a painful end marked by betrayal and ingratitude. The protagonist’s initial trembling approach, filled with dreams and aspirations, eventually transforms into despair as those dreams are shattered by the loved one’s infidelity and abandonment.



Symbolism of Diez años

The passage of ten years symbolizes not just the timeline but also the depth of commitment and change in the narrator’s life. The recurring mention of sacrifice “hasta dónde yo he llegado por tu amor” (how far I have gone for your love) mirrors the enormity of the protagonist’s emotional investment. Their love is portrayed as boundless and altruistic, evidenced by the similes of being a mother or brother in pain, which enhances the feeling of betrayal faced. The final plea to leave without even a memory underlines a complete severance, a desire to erase what was once cherished.



Diez años in Historic Context

Released in 1958, during a volatile period in Argentine history characterized by political unrest and cultural shifts, “Diez años” reflects a society grappling with change and loss. The sense of personal betrayal described in the tango could be mirroring the broader societal betrayals felt by Argentinians during this era. Tango, often a reflection of the social and emotional state of the people, here serves as a medium to address themes of love, loss, and resilience in the face of adversity.
