Letra del Tango Hay que acomodarse

Hay que acomodarse
No hay más remedio,
Y el que no lo hace
No gana un medio.
Hay que acomodarse
Si querés,
No andar en la vía
Todo el mes.
Hoy de nada vale
La frente altiva,
Hay que acomodarse
Con los de arriba.
Y si pretendés
Imponer tus valores,
Con los trepadores
De hambre perecés.

Hoy no basta ser doctor
Ni ser hombre emprendedor,
Hay que ser adulador
Para merecer.

Darle siempre la razón
Al que tiene el cucharón,
Porque puede la ambición
Mucho más que el saber.
Hay que acomodarse
Tené paciencia,
Que es el acomodo
La nueva ciencia.
Hay que acomodarse
Sin pensar,
En otra manera
De triunfar.
Descubrí el modo
Que usa la gente,
Pa´ buscar la espalda
Del influyente.
Y si te ingeniás
Tené ya por seguro,
Sin penas ni apuros
Todo lo tendrás.

English lyrics of the Tango "Hay que acomodarse"

You must adapt,
there’s no other way,
and those who don’t,
won’t earn a dime.
You must adapt
if you wish,
not to be on track
all month.
Today, a proud face
is of no value,
you must adapt
to those above.
And if you aim
to impose your values,
with the climbers,
you’ll starve.

Today it’s not enough to be a doctor
nor a proactive man,
you must be a flatterer
to deserve.

Always agree
with the one holding the spoon,
because ambition
can do more than knowledge.
You must adapt,
be patient,
for adaptation
is the new science.
You must adapt
without thinking,
in another way
to succeed.
Discover the method
used by people,
to seek the back
of the influential.
And if you get clever,
be sure,
without sorrows or troubles,
you will have it all.

Hay que acomodarse by Antonio Botta

Hay que acomodarse is a Tango written by Antonio Botta and composed by Edgardo Donato.

Story behind the Tango Hay que acomodarse

The lyrics of “Hay que acomodarse” depict a pragmatic and somewhat cynical view of survival and success in a challenging world. Antonio Botta, through his poignant words, speaks on the necessity of adapting oneself to get ahead, suggesting that principles often have to be compromised in order to thrive. The phrase “Hay que acomodarse,” or “One must adapt,” captures the essence of bending one’s values to align with those in power or with prevailing circumstances to survive and succeed. This tango engages with the themes of adaptation, compromise, and the often harsh realities of economic and social aspirations.

Symbolism of Hay que acomodarse

“Hay que acomodarse” uses vivid imagery and symbolism to express the dilemma of maintaining integrity versus adapting for gain. Terms like “No gana un medio” and “darle siempre la razón al que tiene el cucharón” symbolize the concessions one might need to make to prosper. The “cucharón,” or cooking ladle, represents those who hold power or resources, implying that placating such individuals can be more beneficial than holding on to one’s knowledge or dignity. This choice of words emphasizes the disparity between idealism and practical survival tactics in a competitive environment.
