Letra del Vals Hay que entrar (2)

La mujer es esfinge y sonríe,
todos dicen: desconfíe.
Cuando novia es la dulce quimera,
cuando esposa, carcelera.
Son mentiras, no hay nada mejor
que un hogar, que un amor.
El problema mas grande es hallar
que la suegra resulte ideal.
Coro: Si sos brujo la vas a encontrar…

Nosotros los hombres hijitos de Dios;
ustedes las chicas, del demonio son.
Se sufre por ellas del tiempo de Adan,
lo mismo en Barracas que en Afganistán.
Yo estoy en la hornalla, no puedo salir,
y al ver que me quemo, vuelvo a repetir:
Nosotros los hombres, hijitos de Dios;
Ustedes las chicas, del demonio son.

La mujer, ya lo sé de memoria,
que es el yugo, que es la noria.
Pero de ella no puedo zafarme
y solito corro a atarme.
Los muchachos me dicen:
cartón…,reaccioná…, pajarón…
Sin embargo me voy a casar,
porque al fin, che Julián, hay que entrar.
Coro: Porque al fin, che Julián, hay que entrar.

English lyrics of the Vals "Hay que entrar (2)"

The woman is a sphinx and smiles,
everyone says: be wary.
When a girlfriend she’s a sweet illusion,
when a wife, a jailer.
They are lies, there’s nothing better
than a home, than a love.
The biggest problem is to find
that the mother-in-law turns out ideal.
Chorus: If you are a wizard, you will find her…

We men, little children of God;
you women, are of the devil.
We suffer for them since the time of Adam,
the same in Barracas as in Afghanistan.
I’m stuck in the stove, can’t get out,
and seeing that I burn, I go back to repeating:
We men, little children of God;
you women, are of the devil.

The woman, I know it by heart,
that she is the yoke, that she is the millstone.
But from her, I cannot escape
and alone I run to bind myself.
The boys tell me:
you’re a pushover…react…you fool…
Nevertheless, I’m going to marry,
because in the end, hey Julián, one must enter.
Chorus: Because in the end, hey Julián, one must enter.

Story behind the Tango Hay que entrar (2)

The tango lyrics “Hay que entrar (2)” explore themes of love, marriage, and the complex, sometimes conflicting nature of basing decisions around these topics. The repeated phrase “porque al fin, che Julián, hay que entrar,” which means “because in the end, Julián, you have to go in,” conveys a sense of inevitability and resignation towards marriage. The entire song is a dialogue with oneself about the contradictions in attitudes towards women, from adoration to blame, reflecting a significant battle with personal convictions and societal expectations.



Symbolism of Hay que entrar (2)

In “Hay que entrar (2),” women are depicted with strong contradicting symbols such as ‘sphinx’ and associated with characteristics ranging from mystique and allurement to being denoted as part of the devil (“Ustedes las chicas, del demonio son”). This stark contrast in symbolism might represent the complicated nature of relationships and the polarized views that the society of the time held towards women – viewed as both caretakers and captors in marital relationships. Another symbol is the ‘yoke’ and ‘mill’ indicating enslavement and endless labor, portraying marriage as a burdensome yet an inevitable part of life.



Hay que entrar (2) in historic Context

Recorded in Argentina in 1951, “Hay que entrar (2)” arises in a period marked by significant political and social changes post World War II. The song mirrors the traditional conflict between retaining conventional family structures and facing modern societal changes. The repeated advice to “get into it” (marriage) despite all reservations can also reflect the societal pressure of that era where familial and marital ties were viewed as paramount.
