Letra del Tango Hay que vivirla compadre

Vos que penando un amor te condenás
en una cárcel de hastío,
que porque ayer te insolaste
hoy vas temblando de frío.
Vos que de miedo a reír casi llorás,
endurecido ‘e rencor.
Levantá una rubia copa de champán
y olvidarás como yo.

Aprovecha que esta vida hay que vivirla
para encontrarle la llave…
¡Hoy tenés un corazón que te palpita
pero mañana, quién sabe!…
Hay que vivirla compadre, hay que vivirla
y pa’ sentirle el sabor
cerrá tu corazón, dormite el alma,
verás que el mundo es mejor…

No te dobles al rigor, no te achiqués,
porque una boca te miente
que en ese beso mentido
podrás ganar otro ardiente…
Emocionate al oír un bandoneón,
volcá en un tango tu afán
y verás que entre las risas y el dolor
se bebe el mismo champán.

English lyrics of the Tango "Hay que vivirla compadre"

You, suffering from a love, condemn yourself
to a prison of tedium,
because yesterday you basked in the sun
today you tremble from the cold.
You, almost crying out of fear to laugh,
hardened with bitterness.
Lift a golden glass of champagne
and you will forget, just like me.

Take advantage, this life must be lived
to find its key…
Today you have a heart that beats,
but tomorrow, who knows?…
You’ve got to live it, mate, you’ve got to live it,
and to taste its flavor,
close your heart, lull your soul to sleep,
you’ll see the world is better…

Don’t give in to harshness, don’t shrink away,
just because a mouth lies to you
that in that deceitful kiss,
you might win another fervent one…
Get excited when you hear a bandoneon,
pour your passion into a tango
and you’ll see that amidst the laughter and the pain,
the same champagne is drunk.

Story behind the Tango Hay que vivirla compadre

“Hay que vivirla compadre,” a poignant tango, portrays a message of living life to its fullest despite the adversities and heartbreaks one might endure. The lyrics express a narrative of an individual who is advised to move past their sorrows by indulging in the momentary pleasures of life, such as enjoying a glass of champagne to forget the pains of a past love. It is a call to embrace life with its highs and lows, pushing past the fear of future heartaches and disappointments.



Symbolism of Hay que vivirla compadre

The champagne glass in the lyrics is a recurring symbol, representing the temporary joys and celebrations that one should indulge in, even amidst personal turmoil. The phrase “Hoy tenés un corazón que te palpita pero mañana, quién sabe!” reminds us of the fleeting nature of life and the urgency to relish it. This communicates a broader existential reflection on the unpredictability and brevity of existence. The contrasting emotions associated with laughing and crying, and enjoying music, also deepen the thematic content about the complexity of human experiences.
