Letra del Tango El huracán

El huracán desrraigó con crueldad
el rosal que planté en el jardín
de mi amor que cuidé con afán
y, al nacer una flor, la traición
le cortó sin piedad su raíz
y el rosal nunca más floreció.
Como al rosal mi ilusión la mató
un amor de mujer que mintió.
Cristo soy con mi cruz al andar,
compasión solo doy al pasar.
Vendaval que arrasó mi querer,
huracán transformao en mujer.

Fueron sus caricias
llenas de mal y traición,
labios que mintieron despiadados
y al besar su falsa boca
se me helaba el corazón.
Ilusión que se fue,
amor que mató.
Una mala mujer que lleva
el veneno escondido
en su negro corazón.

Te perdoné porque odiar yo no sé,
ni rencor para ti guardaré
sólo sé que su mal derrumbó
el Edén que hilvané con fervor,
luz de amor que jamás volverá
a alumbrar a mi fiel corazón.
Vago sin fe con mi cruz de dolor,
hoy vivir para mí es crueldad
juventud que le di sin dudar
y jugó sin piedad con mi amor.
Vendaval que arrasó mi querer,
huracán transformao en mujer.

English lyrics of the Tango "El huracán"

The hurricane cruelly uprooted
the rosebush I planted in the garden
of my love which I tended diligently
and, as a flower bloomed, the betrayal
mercilessly cut its root
and the rosebush never bloomed again.
Like the rosebush my dream was killed
by a woman’s love that lied.
I am Christ with my cross as I walk,
I only give compassion as I pass.
A gale that swept away my love,
a hurricane transformed into a woman.

Her caresses
were full of evil and betrayal,
lips that lied mercilessly
and when kissing her false mouth
my heart would freeze.
A vanished dream,
a love that killed.
A bad woman who carries
poison hidden
in her black heart.

I forgave you because I don’t know how to hate,
nor will I hold a grudge against you
I just know that your evil toppled
the Eden I eagerly constructed,
a light of love that will never return
to illuminate my faithful heart.
I wander without faith with my cross of pain,
today living for me is cruelty.
Youth I gave without hesitation
and she played mercilessly with my love.
A gale that swept away my liking,
a hurricane transformed into a woman.

Story behind the Tango El huracán

The lyrics of “El huracán” portray a vivid narrative of emotional devastation likened to a natural disaster. The songwriter uses the metaphor of a hurricane to describe the impact of a deceitful love that has shattered the narrator’s world. The once carefully nurtured “rosal” (rosebush), symbolizing the narrator’s romantic relationship, is ruthlessly uprooted by the hurricane, representing the lover’s betrayal. The song masterfully intertwines the natural fury of a hurricane with the emotional tempest experienced by the narrator, painting a powerful picture of heartbreak and betrayal.

Symbolism of El huracán

The predominant symbol in this tango is the hurricane itself, representing destructive, uncontrollable force. When the lyrics describe the hurricane as “transformed into a woman,” it personifies the lover, suggesting her actions and deceit possess the same devastating power as a natural disaster. Another key symbol is the “rosal,” which stands for the narrator’s love and hopes, tragically destroyed just as it began to flourish. Phrases like “el Edén que hilvané con fervor” (the Eden that I eagerly sewed together) deepen the symbolic landscape, indicating a paradise lost due to betrayal.

El huracán in historic Context

Recorded in 1944, during a period of global turmoil amidst World War II, “El huracán” might also subtly mirror the social anxieties of the time. While primarily focusing on personal betrayal, the song’s dramatic imagery could be resonating the broader sense of upheaval and destruction prevalent in society. Argentina in the 1940s was a nation of political shifts and cultural transformations, which possibly influenced Lopez to encapsulate feelings of loss and disruption in his lyrics, resonating with the experiences of his contemporaries.
