Letra del Tango Fue su destino

¡Tango!, Hoy estás en todas partes
Ya te has hecho popular,
Te han levantado un altar
En los países lejanos,
Esos muchachos hermanos
Que con amor te exportaron,
Los que alegres te cantaron
Pa´ poderte recordar…

Es nuestro tango argentino
De pura estirpe maleva,
Su cuna fue un rincón del arrabal
Con olor a madreselva.
Vistió pantalón a franja
Y lengue con monograma,
Y su primer filigrana
Fue un viejo patio con parral.

Su compás compadrón
Fue a despertar,
En más de un corazón
Ansias de soñar.
Pero cuando se vio
Hecho ya un varón,
Con orgullo se metió
En un gran salón.
El esmoquin vistió
Por sentirse bacán,
Y al probar el champán
Del barrial se olvidó.
A París se marchó
Como embajador,
Despertando con sus notas
Ambición en el amor.

Aquel tangazo malevo
Nacido en plena barriada,
Es un bacán, un fifí, un soñador
Que se olvidó de la barra.
Hoy usa camisa ´e seda
Zapatos encharolados,
Y en salones alfombrados
Va dejando toda su emoción.

English lyrics of the Tango "Fue su destino"

Tango! Now you are everywhere,
You’ve become so popular,
An altar for you has been raised
In distant lands;
Those brotherly boys
Who exported you with love,
Those who joyfully sang you
To be able to remember…

It’s our Argentine tango
From a pure rogue lineage,
Its cradle was a corner of the slums
With the scent of honeysuckle.
It wore striped pants
And slicked-back hair with a monogram,
And its first filigree
Was an old patio with a grapevine.

Its bold rhythm
Went to awaken,
In more than one heart
A desire to dream.
But when it saw itself
As a grown man,
With pride, it entered
A grand salon.
It dressed in a tuxedo
To feel suave,
And tasting champagne
It forgot its mud.
To Paris, it went
As an ambassador,
Awakening with its notes
Ambition in love.

That gutsy tango
Born in the middle of a neighborhood,
Is a dandy, a dandy, a dreamer
Who forgot about his mates.
Today it wears silk shirts
And polished shoes,
And in carpeted parlors,
It leaves all its emotion.

Fue su destino by Vicente Planells De Campo

Fue su destino is a Tango written by Vicente Planells De Campo and composed by Domingo Pelle.

Story behind the Tango “Fue su destino”

“Fue su destino” encapsulates the transformative journey of the tango from the streets of Buenos Aires to the grand salons of Paris. It portrays tango as a living entity that grows in stature and sophistication, eventually becoming a global phenomenon. The lyrics lament the commercialization of tango, suggesting a loss of its authentic, raw roots in pursuit of international acclaim.

Symbolism of “Fue su destino”

The tango, personified in the lyrics, uses potent symbolism to detail its evolution. Phrases like “vistió pantalón a franja” (wore striped trousers) and “el esmoquin vistió” (dressed in a tuxedo) symbolize the cultural shift from local to global influence. The transformation from local attire to a tuxedo represents tango’s adaptation to appeal to high society. The lyrics also reflect nostalgia and a sense of loss, evident in the line “Y al probar el champán / Del barrial se olvidó” (And by tasting champagne, he forgot about the neighborhood), indicating tango’s forgetfulness of its humble origins amidst new luxuries.

Fue su destino in historic Context

Released in 1934, during a time when tango was burgeoning beyond Argentina, this tango captures the essence of an era when cultural expressions were becoming global. This period marked a significant shift in how cultural products were viewed and consumed worldwide. Tango’s expansion into European cities like Paris during the early 20th century heralded its acceptance into high society, which profoundly influenced its performance and perception. The transformation noted in the lyrics mirrors the historical path of tango from the streets of Buenos Aires to worldwide fame, paralleling the cultural exchanges that were occurring during the interwar period.
