Letra del Tango Fueye

Cuando llegó, te oí reir
cuando se fue, lloró tu son
en tu teclado está, como escondida
hermano bandoneón toda mi vida.
Con tu viruta de emoción está encendida
la llama oscura de tu ausencia
y de mi amor.
Cuando llegó, te oí reir
cuando se fue, lloró tu sol.

Fueye, no andés goteando tristezas,
fueye, que tu rezongo me apena.
Vamos, no hay que perder la cabeza,
vamos, que ya sabemos muy bien
que no hay que hacer,
que ya se fue de nuestro lao
y que a los dos no has tirao
en el rincón de los recuerdos muertos.
Fueye, no andés goteando amargura
Vamos, hay que saber olvidar.

Cuando llegó, cristal de amor.
Cuando se fue, voz de rencor.
Guardé su ingratitud dentro‘e tu caja
y con tu manta azul le hice mortaja.
Esa es la historia del castillo de baraja
que levantamos a tu arrullo bandoneón.
Cuando llegó, cristal de amor.
Cuando se fue, voz de rencor.

Fueye, no andés goteando tristezas,
fueye, que tu rezongo me apena.
Vamos, no hay que perder la cabeza.
Vamos, si ya sabemos muy bien
que no hay que hacer,
que ya se fue de nuestro lao,
y que a los dos nos ha tirao
en el rincón de los recuerdos muertos.
Fueye, no andes goteando amargura.
Vamos, hay que saber olvidar.

English lyrics of the Tango "Fueye "

When you arrived, I heard you laugh
when he left, your sun wept
on your keyboard is, as if hiding
brother bandoneon, all my life.
With your chip of emotion lit up
is the dark flame of your absence
and of my love.
When you arrived, I heard you laugh
when he left, wept your sun.

Bellows, don’t drip sadness,
Bellows, your grumble pains me.
Come on, let’s not lose our heads,
Let’s go, we know very well
what not to do,
that he has left our side
and has thrown us both
into the corner of dead memories.
Bellows, don’t drip bitterness,
Come on, we must learn to forget.

When he arrived, crystal of love.
When he left, voice of rancor.
I stored his ingratitude inside your box
and with your blue blanket made him a shroud.
That is the story of the house of cards
we built to your lull, bandoneon.
When he arrived, crystal of love.
When he left, voice of rancor.

Bellows, don’t drip sadness,
Bellows, your grumble pains me.
Come on, let’s not lose our heads.
Let’s go, as we know very well
what not to do,
that he has gone from our side,
and has thrown us both
into the corner of dead memories.
Bellows, don’t drip bitterness.
Let’s go, we must learn to forget.

Fueye by Homero Manzi

Fueye is a Tango written by Homero Manzi and composed by Charlo.



Story behind the Tango Fueye

The tango ‘Fueye’, a term which translates to “bellows” in English and refers to the instrument’s part crucial for producing sound, delves deeply into the intricate interplay between music and the emotions of joy and sorrow. The lyrics poignantly capture the lifecycle of a romantic relationship, utilizing the bandoneón (a type of concertina particularly popular in Argentina and Uruguay) as a symbolic carrier of emotions and memories.



Symbolism of Fueye

Homero Manzi imbues ‘Fueye’ with rich symbolism, notably through the anthropomorphism of the bandoneón. He describes the instrument as laughing upon arrival and crying upon departure, echoing the human responses to joy and heartbreak. The emotional transition, from the “crystal of love” to the “voice of spite,” mirrors the fleeting nature of relationships. Additionally, the phrase “with your blue blanket I made a shroud” symbolically indicates that the memories linger but the physical presence is mourned like a death when love ends.



Fueye in historic Context

Recorded in 1971, a period marked by political and social upheaval in Argentina, ‘Fueye’ reflects a broader cultural expression of nostalgia and mourning for happier, simpler times amidst the turbulence. The melancholy of the music and the reflective nature of the lyrics may have resonated deeply with the audience of that era, offering a form of solace and a connection to personal and collective losses.



Homero Manzi

Homero Manzi was a renowned Argentine lyricist, known for his poignant and evocative tango lyrics that often explored themes of love, sorrow, and nostalgia.
