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 eagerly
and, as a flower bloomed, the betrayal
mercilessly cut its root,
and the rosebush never bloomed again.

Like the rosebush, my illusion was killed
by the love of a woman who lied.
I am Christ with my cross as I walk,
showing compassion to all as I pass.
A whirlwind that devastated my love,
a hurricane transformed into a woman.

Her caresses
were filled with evil and betrayal,
lips that lied ruthlessly,
and when kissing her false mouth
my heart would freeze.
An illusion that departed,
a love that she killed.
A wicked woman bearing
poison hidden
in her dark heart.

I forgave you because I don’t know how to hate,
nor will I hold any resentment towards you
I just know that her evil destroyed
the Eden I stitched with fervor,
a light of love that will never return
to illuminate my loyal heart.
I wander faithlessly with my cross of pain,
living is now cruelty for me,
youth that I gave without hesitation
and she played mercilessly with my love.
A whirlwind that devastated my love,
a hurricane transformed into a woman.

Story behind the Tango El huracán

The lyrics of “El huracán” are a deep and poignant expression of betrayal and emotional devastation. The song likens the lover’s deceit to a hurricane that has cruelly uprooted the rosebush in the garden of the narrator’s heart. The garden, nurtured with care and affection, symbolizes the narrator’s love and dreams, which are shattered by the lover’s betrayal, likened to a storm that not only destroys the physical representation of love (the rosebush) but also leaves a lasting scar on the heart. Betrayal is further depicted in the chilling effect it has on the narrator, as expressed through the imagery of a heart turning cold when kissed by deceitful lips.


Symbolism of El huracán

Several powerful symbols are used in “El huracán” to deepen the narrative. The hurricane itself is a metaphor for the overwhelming and destructive force of the lover’s betrayal. The uprooted rosebush represents the death of love, which was once carefully tended and hopeful. The phrase “Cristo soy con mi cruz al andar” equates the narrator’s suffering with the biblical depiction of Christ carrying the cross, thus amplifying the sense of martyrdom and endurance despite profound pain. The repeated references to “vendaval” (gale) and “huracán transformao en mujer” (hurricane turned into a woman) tie back to the central metaphor, emphasizing the intensity and femininity of the destructive force encountered.


El huracán in historic Context

Recorded in 1973, during a politically turbulent period in Argentina, “El huracán” may subtly reflect the social and emotional turmoil experienced by its audience. The era was marked by political unrest, which might resonate with the themes of upheaval and betrayal in personal relationships depicted in the tango. Although primarily about a personal relationship, the song’s dramatic imagery and emotional depth could be seen as a metaphor for broader societal experiences of disruption and disillusionment.
