Letra del Tango El arranque

Una “yeta” feroz

me alejaba de Dios.

Golpes fieros de la vida

me tiraron a un rincón.

Ya de tan acabao

era un burro empacao;

la cabeza caída

sobre el corazón.

A la vida, sin fe,

mi rencor le mostré;

y la vida, gran maestro,

perdonando me enseñó…

Para tanto dolor

me guardaba un amor;

¡un amor!… Viento loco

que me empujó.



Ahora tengo un gran querer

un fracasao no puedo ser.

Formé un hogar y tengo un pibe;

linda racha me persigue,

no me dejo más vencer.

Mi corazón siente otra voz…

¡No estoy tan lejos ya de Dios!

Si la mascota fuese el pibe,

yo no sé… pero él sonríe

y me llena de valor.



Del triste pasao

me siento escapao.

Si el destino quiere

caeré,

pero nunca entregao.

Infeliz de aquel

que atorao de hiel,

no la empuja

pa’ que arranque

un cariño fiel.

English lyrics of the Tango "El arranque"

Cardo y malvón recorded by Osvaldo Pugliese

Cardo y malvón is an instrumental Tango composed by Osvaldo Pugliese.

Interpretation of Cardo y malvón

The title “Cardo y malvón” can be translated to “Thistle and Geranium” in English. This imagery evokes a contrast between the rugged, prickly nature of a thistle and the delicate, vibrant beauty of a geranium. As an instrumental tango, “Cardo y malvón” likely weaves the juxtaposition of these two plant symbols into its musical fabric, with the thistle representing the challenging, complex rhythms, and the geranium symbolizing the melodic, poignant themes. The orchestra might employ strong, staccato notes to illustrate the resilience and toughness of the thistle, while flowing, lyrical passages convey the gentler qualities of the geranium.

Osvaldo Pugliese and Cardo y malvón

Osvaldo Pugliese, renowned for his emotive and sophisticated interpretations of tango, infuses “Cardo y malvón” with rich harmonic textures and dynamic contrasts. The composition reflects Pugliese’s ability to masterfully balance intensity and tenderness, capturing the essence of both the thistle and geranium in a single, captivating piece. As a tango orchestration, “Cardo y malvón” stands as a testament to Pugliese’s genius in creating mood and expression through music, highlighting the powerful yet graceful spirit of Argentine tango.
