Letra del Tango Dónde

No quiero creerme que es una promesa
lo que tu sonrisa me ha querido dar.
Si ya tenés dueño, ¿qué mirada es ésa?
¿Acaso me dice que debo esperar?
Mi vida se abraza con este tormento;
lo que te propones, de veras, no sé,
borrá la esperanza de mi pensamiento,
decí que me vaya y entonces me iré.

Dónde, dónde iré con mis pesares,
dónde, dónde iré con mi pasión.
Iré sin rumbo, por tierras y por mares,
en alas de la muerte cantando esta canción:

Dónde, dónde está la que yo quiero,
dónde, dónde está mi corazón.
Ya lo he perdido y soy como un matrero
que va domando el potro de la desilusión.
Ya sé, vida mía, que no eres coqueta,
que en tus sentimientos domina el candor.

Y que la mirada que a veces me inquieta
quizás es de pena y no es por amor…
Yo soy orgulloso… si es eso te digo
que a temple de acero mi pecho forjé…
No quiero que sufras, ya basta conmigo,
decí que me vaya y entonces me iré…

English lyrics of the Tango "Dónde"

I cannot believe that your smile’s promise
is anything truly meant to stay.
If you’re already taken, what means that glance?
Does it tell me that I must wait?
My life clings to this torment;
truly, what you intend, I do not know,
erase the hope from my thoughts,
tell me to leave and then I will go.

Where, where will I go with my sorrows,
where, where will I go with my passion.
I’ll wander aimlessly, over lands and seas,
singing this song on the wings of death:

Where, where is the one I desire,
where, where is my heart.
I’ve lost it already, and I’m like a renegade
taming the bronco of disillusion.
I know, my dear, you’re not flirtatious,
that sincerity reigns in your feelings.

And that the gaze that sometimes troubles me
might be out of pity and not out of love…
I am proud… if that’s what you need to hear,
I’ve toughened my chest with tempered steel…
I don’t want you to suffer, enough with my pain,
tell me to leave and then I will go…

Story behind the Tango Dónde

The lyrics of “Dónde” reveal a poignant narrative of unrequited love and inner turmoil. The narrator is confronted with the painful reality that his love interest may already be committed to someone else. He pleads for clarity, asking whether he should hold onto hope or let go. The song expresses a deep sense of longing and despair, as the narrator contemplates wandering endlessly, driven by his unresolved passion and heartache.



Symbolism of Dónde

The song uses profound symbolism to reflect the narrator’s emotional journey. Phrases like “en alas de la muerte cantando esta canción” suggest that his love, though unfulfilled, carries him away like wings of death—a powerful metaphor that portrays love as both transcendent and destructive. Additionally, the recurrent question “Dónde” symbolizes his search not just for the beloved, but also for his own sense of peace and resolution. “Domando el potro de la desilusión” likens his struggle to tame the wild horse of disillusionment, illustrating his fight against the bitter truth of his circumstances.



Dónde in historic Context

The tango “Dónde” was created in Argentina, a place deeply rooted in the tango tradition which often portrays themes of love, loss, and nostalgia. Historically, tango has been a reflection of the social and emotional struggles of the lower classes, and by extension, it expresses universal feelings of pain and desire. The timing of this song could be linked to a period of Argentine history characterized by emotional and social upheaval, potentially influencing its somber mood and introspective lyrics.
