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 uprooted with cruelty
the rosebush I planted in the garden
of my love that I tended eagerly
and, as a flower was born, betrayal
mercilessly cut off its root
and the rosebush never bloomed again.
Like the rosebush my dreams were killed
by a woman’s love that lied.
I am Christ with my cross as I walk,
only giving compassion as I pass.
Gale that destroyed my love,
hurricane turned into a woman.

Her caresses were
filled with evil and betrayal,
lips that lied ruthlessly,
and kissing her false mouth
froze my heart.
An illusion that faded,
a love that killed.
A wicked woman who carries
the venom hidden
in her black heart.

I forgave you because I know not how to hate,
nor will I hold any grudge against you
I only know that her evil demolished
the Eden that I stitched with fervor,
light of love that will never return
to illuminate my faithful heart.
I wander faithless with my cross of pain,
living now for me is cruelty
youth that I gave without hesitation
and she played merciless with my love.
Gale that destroyed my wanting,
hurricane turned into a woman.

Story behind the Tango El huracán

The lyrics of “El huracán” evoke the image of a hurricane violently uprooting a rosebush that the speaker had lovingly tended in the garden of his love. This garden and rosebush metaphorically represent dreams and efforts cultivated in a relationship that was ultimately betrayed. The hurricane, symbolic of a deceitful lover, destroys the rosebush, indicating a profound emotional and personal devastation. The song narrates the emotional trajectory from nurturing love to experiencing betrayal and the irreversible damage it causes.



Symbolism of El huracán

In “El huracán,” the hurricane symbolizes the destructive force of a deceptive love, particularly emphasizing the deceit and betrayal the narrator feels from his lover. The use of weather elements like hurricanes and storms illustrates the overwhelming, uncontrollable nature of the emotions involved. This song uses stark contrasts between the nurturing, caring imagery associated with tending to a garden, and the violent, harsh imagery of betrayal. Phrases like “veneno escondido en su negro corazón” (poison hidden in her black heart) exemplify the depth of deception felt, turning love into a lethal weapon.



El huracán in historic Context

“El huracán” was recorded in 1948, a period when Tango was deeply embedded in the cultural fabric of Argentina, often reflecting the socio-political mood of the era. Post World War II Argentina was marked by significant social changes and a sense of rebuilding, which resonates with the theme of personal devastation and recovery found in the lyrics. The emotional intensity of the Tango could be reflective of the broader existential and social introspections happening in Argentina during this time.
