Letra del Tango Este carnaval

Yo no quise que sufrieras mi fracaso,

por eso te dejé,

llevando tu recuerdo de mi brazo

por todos los caminos que rodé.

No me deja olvidar,

ni me dejó volver,

ya ves, es más difícil que te quiera,

igual que ayer.



No quiero que te duela mi pobreza,

ni empañe tu alegría mi tristeza.

Sólo quiero agradecerle al carnaval,

por traerte esta noche hasta mi mesa.

Sonríe, como yo, vamos mi alma,

volvamos a vivir el viejo ayer.

Qué importa lo que sientan nuestras almas,

al alba quién la ve.



Sonríe, como yo, vamos princesa,

volvamos a vivir el viejo ayer.

Qué importa lo que sientan nuestras almas,

al alma quién la ve.

English lyrics of the Tango "Este carnaval"

I didn’t want you to suffer from my failure,
that’s why I left,
carrying your memory on my arm
along all the roads I roamed.

It won’t let me forget,
nor let me return,
you see, it’s harder to keep loving you
the same as yesterday.

I don’t want my poverty to hurt you,
nor my sadness to cloud your joy.
I just want to thank the carnival
for bringing you to my table tonight.

Smile, like me, come on my soul,
let’s relive the old yesterday.
What does it matter what our souls feel,
at dawn, who sees them?

Smile, like me, come on princess,
let’s relive the old yesterday.
What does it matter what our souls feel,
to the soul, who sees it?

Story behind the Tango Este carnaval

The lyrics of “Este carnaval” reveal a poignant tale of separation and a longing for reunion. The narrator speaks of leaving his loved one to spare her the pain of his failures. Throughout his journeys, he carries the weight of her memory, which neither allows him to forget nor return. The carnival, a symbol of fleeting joy and masked revelries, brings them back together for a night, urging them to relive the past and momentarily forget their current sorrows.



Symbolism of Este carnaval

The recurring theme of “Este carnaval” is the contrast between past happiness and present pain, highlighted through the symbol of the carnival. Carnivals are often associated with freedom and temporarily escaping reality. In this tango, the carnival enables the protagonists to set aside their present hardships and immerse themselves in the nostalgia of their shared past. Key phrases such as “No quiero que te duela mi pobreza,” and “Sólo quiero agradecerle al carnaval,” express the narrator’s desire to shield his loved one from his current state of destitution and to thank the carnival for allowing them a momentary return to happier times.



Este carnaval in Historic Context

“Este carnaval” was written in 1951, a period marked by significant political and social changes in Argentina. The year saw the beginning of the second presidency of Juan Domingo Perón, during which the country experienced both intense nationalism and social welfare initiatives. The themes of suffering and temporary escape in the song could reflect the broader societal atmosphere where many Argentinians found themselves grappling with economic difficulties while seeking solace in cultural expressions like tango. The nostalgic tone of the song suggests a yearning for the stability of the past amidst contemporary upheavals.
