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 that I tended eagerly
and, as a flower bloomed, betrayal
mercilessly cut its roots
and the rosebush never bloomed again.
As with the rosebush, my hope was killed
by a woman’s love that lied.
I am Christ with my cross as I walk,
giving only compassion as I pass.
Whirlwind that swept away my love,
hurricane transformed into a woman.

Her caresses were
full of evil and betrayal,
lips that lied ruthlessly
and kissing her false mouth
froze my heart.
Hope that left,
love that 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 hold a grudge against you
I only know that her evil collapsed
the Eden I stitched earnestly,
light of love that will never return
to illuminate my faithful heart.
I wander faithless with my cross of pain,
today living for me is cruelty
youth that I gave without hesitation
and she played ruthlessly with my love.
Whirlwind that swept away my love,
hurricane transformed into a woman.

Story behind the Tango El huracán

“El huracán” (translated to English as “The Hurricane”) vividly uses the metaphor of a storm to describe the force and devastation of a treacherous love affair. The lyrics start with the hurricane’s destruction of a rosebush, a symbol of the narrator’s carefully tended love, which is cruelly uprooted. The song portrays a deep emotional betrayal and the painful aftermath of a deceitful relationship, highlighting the theme of lost innocence and irreversible damage to one’s heart and hopes.


Symbolism of El huracán

The central symbol in the song is the hurricane itself, representing a violent and unstoppable force that causes chaos and destruction, paralleling the havoc a deceitful lover wreaks on the narrator’s life. The rosebush mentioned in the opening lines serves as a symbol of the narrator’s love and dreams—tenderly cared for yet destroyed by betrayal. This portrayal is enriched by poignant imagery such as “caring for the garden” and “a flower being born,” reflecting the nurturing of a relationship that was ultimately doomed. This symbolism is further cemented with phrases like “Fueron sus caricias llenas de mal y traición” (Her caresses were full of evil and betrayal), which elucidates the depth of emotional betrayal experienced.


El huracán in historic context

Written in 1961 in Argentina, “El huracán” emerges from a culture deeply entrenched in the Tango tradition, where themes of love, betrayal, and despair are common. This was a time when tango music was a profound expression of personal and collective emotion in Argentine society. The historic backdrop likely influenced the song’s dramatic tone and its exploration of intimate grief. In a broader sense, this period in Argentina was characterized by social and political upheaval, with tango serving as an outlet for expressing complex feelings.
