Letra del Tango El corazón me engañó

Volveremos a vernos algún día
Ya no puedo quererte… me dijiste…
El dejo de tu voz era tan triste
Y yo tan triste estaba… que callé.
Me detuve a mirarte… parecía
Reflejada la muerte en tu mirada,
Y en vez de preguntar… no dije nada
Y así, sin decir nada… me alejé.

Ya ves hermano, que todo
En este mundo se olvida,
Es ley fatal de la vida…
Me decía el corazón.
Después, al sentirme solo
Y al saber que te quería,
Comprobé de que aquél día
¡El corazón me engañó!

Han pasado seis meses, vida mía
Cuánto, cuánto he llorado, si supieras,
Por qué razón dejé que me dijeras
Aquellas tus palabras… y callé…
Volveremos a vernos algún día
Ya no puedo quererte… ¡Dios!… qué horrible
Pensar de que tu amor es imposible
Y nunca… nunca, amor, te olvidaré.

English lyrics of the Tango "El corazón me engañó"

We shall see each other again someday
I can’t love you anymore… you told me…
The tone of your voice was so sad
And I was so sad too… that I stayed silent.
I stopped to look at you… it seemed
Death was reflected in your gaze,
And instead of asking… I said nothing
And so, without a word… I walked away.

You see brother, that everything
In this world is forgotten,
It’s life’s fatal law…
My heart would tell me.
Later, feeling lonely
And knowing that I loved you,
I realized that that day
The heart deceived me!

Six months have passed, my life
How much, how much I’ve cried, if you only knew,
Why I let you tell me
Those words of yours… and stayed silent…
We shall see each other again someday
I can’t love you anymore… God!… how dreadful
To think that your love is impossible
And never… never, my love, will I forget you.

Story behind the Tango El corazón me engañó

The tango “El corazón me engañó” paints a poignant picture of love and regret. The narrative unfolds with a heart-wrenching farewell, where the speaker reflects on a past love that expressed a bleak inevitability: the end of a relationship. As the protagonist remembers a dismal goodbye, marked by silence and unsaid words, the narrative shifts to introspection about the nature of forgetting and the subsequent realization of unending affection. This tango captures the universal experience of heartache, longing, and the deceitful comfort of believing that time alone can heal.

Symbolism of El corazón me engañó

The central theme of this tango revolves around the heart’s deceit (“el corazón me engañó”). It symbolizes the internal conflict between rational acceptance and emotional desire. Words left unsaid in pivotal moments convey the weight of regret and unbearable silence. The phrase “Reflejada la muerte en tu mirada” evokes intense emotional depth, suggesting the end of something vital, akin to the death of love. The heart’s reassurance that everything fades challenges the notion of inevitable forgetfulness with the persistent memory of a lost connection.
