Letra del Tango Entrá nomás

Entrá nomás ya que has vuelto,
no tengas miedo a la biaba;
si yo tranquilo esperaba
que volvieras otra vez.
Y aunque tuviste el coraje
de abandonar nuestro hijito,
entrá, que está el pobrecito
deseando que lo besés.

Cuántas veces, inocente,
por su mamá preguntaba…
Yo con dolor lo engañaba
para no verlo llorar,
diciendo que te habías ido
a comprarle unos juguetes
pa’ dar bronca a los purretes
cuando lo vieran jugar.

Y aquel mal amigo
con quien te fugaste,
por quien me dejaste,
pa’ ir a rodar,
te ha dado la prueba
de su cobardía,
dejándote un día
sin nombre ni hogar.

Entrá nomás… No te achiques…
Si ya estoy casi vengado,
pues en tu mismo pecado
la penitencia llevás…
Pero, de hoy en adelante,
si en mi techo te cobijo,
serás la madre de mi hijo
pero mi mujer… ¡jamás!

English lyrics of the Tango "Entrá nomás"

Come on in, now that you’ve returned,
don’t be afraid of the beating;
I calmly waited
for you to come back again.
And even though you had the courage
to abandon our little child,
come in, the poor thing is
eager for you to kiss him.

How many times, innocently,
he asked for his mother…
In pain, I lied to him
to avoid seeing him cry,
saying you had gone
to buy him some toys
to make the kids jealous
when they saw him play.

And that bad friend
with whom you ran away,
who made you leave,
to start drifting,
he proved his cowardice
by leaving you one day
without a name or a home.

Come in, don’t be shy…
I am almost avenged,
for in your own sin
you carry the penance…
But, from now on,
if I shelter you under my roof,
you’ll be the mother of my child
but my wife… never!

Story behind the Tango Entrá nomás

The Tango “Entrá nomás” tells a poignant story of reconciliation and forgiveness. Set against the backdrop of a man inviting a woman who had left him—and their child—back into their home, its narrative captures a mix of betrayal, sorrow, and conditional acceptance. The speaker addresses his former partner, who abandoned their family but has now returned. Despite her betrayal, he offers her shelter, not as his partner but solely as the mother of his child, indicating a blend of personal boundaries and parental considerations.



Symbolism of Entrá nomás

In “Entrá nomás,” Francisco Bastardi uses everyday objects and scenarios to deepen the emotional resonance of the lyrics. Key phrases like “no tengas miedo a la biaba” (don’t be afraid of the scolding) and “a comprarle unos juguetes” (to buy some toys) symbolize the innocence and deception woven through the storyline. Toys, often symbols of childhood innocence and joy, are used here to mask the pain of abandonment. The symbolism extends to the ‘mal amigo’ (bad friend), representing betrayal and the eventual disillusionment with worldly temptations.



Entrá nomás in Historic Context

Recorded in 1951, a post-war period marked by social and economic changes in Argentina, “Entrá nomás” reflects themes of personal struggle and resilience. During this time, societal norms were shifting, and the tango, as a cultural expression, often mirrored these transitions. The mention of “sin nombre ni hogar” (without name or home) could be interpreted as a nod to the dislocation and identity crises prevalent in society. This historic backdrop allows the song to resonate more profoundly, illustrating personal betrayal against broader societal disruptions.
