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 that I planted in the garden
of my love which I tended eagerly
and, as a flower was born, betrayal
ruthlessly cut its root
and the rosebush never bloomed again.
Like the rosebush, my hope was killed
by a love of a woman who lied.
I am Christ with my cross as I walk,
I only give compassion as I pass.
Whirlwind that devastated my love,
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.
An illusion that left,
love that she killed.
A bad woman who carries
poison hidden
in her black heart.

I forgave you because I do not know how to hate,
nor will I keep resentment for 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 without faith with my cross of pain,
living today for me is cruelty
youth that I gave without hesitation
and she played mercilessly with my love.
Whirlwind that devastated my love,
hurricane transformed into a woman.

Story behind the Tango El huracán

“El huracán” begins with a vivid and powerful metaphor of a hurricane ruthlessly uprooting a rosebush, which symbolizes a cherished love garden the speaker has tenderly cultivated. This devastation mirrors the betrayal that severed his love at its very roots, leaving his emotional landscape barren and unable to bloom again. The lyrics express a narrative of profound personal loss and betrayal, drawing parallels between the destructive nature of a hurricane and the impact of deceitful love.



Symbolism of El huracán

The hurricane symbolizes an overwhelming, uncontrollable force causing irreversible damage, paralleling the emotional turmoil the narrator experiences. The choice of a rosebush as the object of this destruction highlights themes of fragility and beauty, suggesting that something once pure and promising has been tainted and ruined. The imagery of Christ bearing his cross lends a sacrificial, martyr-like quality to the narrator’s suffering, enhancing the depth of betrayal by equating it with a treacherous, almost religious disillusionment.



El huracán in historic Context

Recorded in 1952, “El huracán” comes from a post-war era where tango often reflected deep emotional and social undercurrents of Argentine society. During this time, tango served as an outlet for expressing the collective struggles and personal heartaches in a culturally resonant way. The metaphor of a hurricane could also mirror the social and political turbulence Argentina was undergoing, making the tango resonate on both personal and broader societal levels.
