Letra del Tango Entrada prohibida

Cuando eras una papusa
y andabas bien empilchada,
eras la paica mimada
que a tu capricho reinabas.
A los hombres los tratabas
con el desprecio más rudo,
y más de un viejo platudo
por tu culpa se arruinó.

Pero llegó
también tu San Martín
y se acabó
tu fama de cartón.
Y la que fue
la flor del berretín
se convirtió
en otra del montón.
Y tu michét
con otra se arregló,
y te largó
sin decirte por qué,
y en la pensión
el dueño se cabrió
y te prohibió
la pieza y el buyón.

Del cabaret te espiantaron
y te prohibieron la entrada,
se te acabó la parada
te perdiste en el olvido.
Y un miserable vestido
tuvieron que regalarte,
pues causa pena mirarte
de pobrecita que estás.

English lyrics of the Tango "Entrada prohibida"

When you were a dazzling girl
and dressed so very fine,
you were the pampered belle
who reigned on a whim.
Men you treated
with the crudest disdain,
and more than one wealthy old man
was ruined because of you.

But your day came
your Saint Martin arrived
and it ended
your cardboard fame.
And she who was
the fantasy’s flower
became
just another in the crowd.
And your man
settled up with another,
and he left you
without a reason why,
and in the boarding house
the owner got fed up
and he banned you
from the room and the meal.

From the cabaret, you were spotted
and they barred you from entry,
your standing came to an end,
you vanished into oblivion.
And a miserable dress
they had to give you,
for it pained them to see you
in your pitiful state.

Story behind the Tango Entrada prohibida

The lyrics of “Entrada prohibida” depict the dramatic fall from grace of a woman who was once admired and desired. Initially portrayed as a well-dressed and capricious figure, she commands attention and respect. However, the narrative quickly shifts to her decline, where her previous admirers abandon her, leading to her social exclusion and poverty. The lyrics not only narrate her downfall but also vividly capture the harsh realities of societal and personal rejection.



Symbolism of Entrada prohibida

In “Entrada prohibida,” the use of the phrase “también tu San Martín” symbolizes a turning point or downfall, referring to a decisive battle in the life of José de San Martín, a key figure in Spanish-American independence. This phrase metaphorically marks the moment her fate changed dramatically. The tango also uses the transformation from “la flor del berretín” to “otra del montón” to symbolize her loss of unique identity and descent into obscurity, highlighting the transient nature of social status and beauty.



Entrada prohibida in historic Context

Recorded in 1950 in Argentina, “Entrada prohibida” emerges during a period rich with political and social changes post-World War II. The tango reflects themes of disillusionment and social displacement, resonating with an audience possibly experiencing economic disparities and shifts in societal structures. The portrayal of decline from grace to poverty could mirror the destabilizing effects of the era, making the tango not just a personal story, but a social commentary.
