Letra del Tango En otros caminos

Cuando tú te vayas, vida de mi vida

Con cantos de ausencia, yo te evocaré,

Y en la noche triste de la despedida

Mi llanto y mi angustia, te han de ver partir.

Luego, igual que un sueño, que dulce ha pasado

Te habrás alejado muy pronto de mí,

Y te irás borrando en la lejanía

Cual visión querida que no ha de volver.



En otros caminos

Senderos de amores,

Quemarás las flores

De tu juventud.

En otros caminos

A solas con tu alma,

Tal vez una noche

Un mudo reproche

Te ha de hacer sufrir…

Tal vez una noche

Llorarás por mí.



Otros horizontes ansían tus ojos

Y es cruel ese antojo que me hace penar,

Trajiste a mi vida, cariño y bonanza

Y un sol de esperanza, mi vida alumbró.

Más todo se acaba y un día cualquiera

Será una quimera mi sueño de amor,

Y habrás encontrado en otros caminos

Tu solo destino de andar… y de andar…

English lyrics of the Tango "En otros caminos"

When you leave, life of my life,
With songs of absence, I will evoke you,
And on the sad night of farewell,
My tears and my anguish, will see you depart.

Then, just like a dream, that sweetly passed,
You will have moved far away from me,
And you will fade in the distance,
Like a beloved vision that will not return.

On other paths,
Paths of love,
You will burn the flowers
Of your youth.
On other paths,
Alone with your soul,
Perhaps one night
A silent reproach
Will make you suffer…
Perhaps one night
You will cry for me.

Other horizons yearn for your eyes,
And that craving is cruel and makes me suffer,
You brought to my life, affection and fortune,
And a sun of hope, lit up my life.
But everything ends, and one day like any other,
My dream of love will be a chimera,
And you will have found on other paths
Your lone destiny to wander… and wander…

Story behind the Tango En otros caminos

The lyrics of “En otros caminos” delve deep into the themes of farewell and longing, capturing the raw emotion of seeing a loved one depart to pursue their destiny on different paths. The poet speaks from the perspective of an individual left behind, filled with both affection and sorrow, acknowledging the inevitable separation that life often imposes.



Symbolism of En otros caminos

The repetitive invocation of ‘other paths’ symbolizes the divergent trajectories lives can take, emphasizing separation and the solitude of those who remain. Pariente effectively uses the imagery of blossoming flowers – “Quemarás las flores / De tu juventud” – as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of youth and experience, suggesting that all its beauty and vitality will inevitably be consumed over time. The night, often associated with mystery and sadness, appears repeatedly, underscoring moments of reflection and regret.



En otros caminos in historic Context

Recorded in Argentina in 1957, “En otros caminos” by Oscar Pariente captures a period of significant emotional and cultural expression through Tango. This era in Argentine history was marked by social and political changes, where Tango music often provided an outlet for personal and communal narratives, weaving the individual’s emotional experiences with broader societal themes. The song’s melancholic tone and themes of departure might also echo the emigrant experience, a common narrative in mid-20th century Argentina.
