Letra del Tango Igual que Dios

¡Creí morir
por la traición!
¡Debí matar
o perdonar!
Entre matarla o perdonarla me alejé;
después la lloré sin consuelo.
Así, viví,
muriéndome.
Sin comprender
por qué viví.

Y en el milagro de otra voz encontré
la fe de mi salvación.
Fue mi resurrección tu voz
y el milagro fue de Dios.
En el milagro encontré tu amor.
Y en tu querer mi salvación.
Y tú… santa, como Dios te das,
sin pedirme nada más
que la limosna de creer en ti.

Y yo me arranco el corazón
para dártelo…
Igual que Dios.
¡Bendito Dios!
Por este amor
para los dos.

Entre mis sombras, levantaste, con tu luz
La fe de un amor verdadero.
Quedé sin voz
para rezar.
Sin fuerza ya
para llorar.
Pero el milagro fue de Dios y llegó
tu voz y mi salvación.

English lyrics of the Tango "Igual que Dios"

I thought I would die
from the betrayal!
I should have killed
or forgiven!
Between killing or forgiving her, I walked away;
then I mourned her inconsolably.
So, I lived,
dying inside.
Not understanding
why I lived.

And in the miracle of another voice I found
the faith of my salvation.
Your voice was my resurrection,
and the miracle was from God.
In the miracle, I found your love.
And in your desire, my salvation.
And you… holy, like God you give yourself,
asking for nothing more
than the alms of believing in you.

And I tear out my heart
to give it to you…
Just like God.
Blessed God!
For this love
for us both.

Among my shadows, you raised with your light
The faith of a true love.
I was left voiceless
to pray.
Without strength
to cry.
But the miracle was from God and so came
your voice and my salvation.

Story behind the Tango Igual que Dios

The Tango “Igual que Dios” lyrically explores profound emotional conflict and redemption through love. The protagonist narrates a past engulfed in betrayal that nearly led to a tragic response, either murder or forgiveness. Choosing to walk away instead,” Entre matarla o perdonarla me alejé,” he later finds himself in a state of mournful despair. The turn towards salvation comes through the miraculous introduction of another’s voice, symbolically pointing towards a newfound love that rescues him from his torments.



Symbolism of Igual que Dios

The title itself, “Igual que Dios” or “Just like God,” encapsulates the overarching symbolic theme — the sanctity and redemptive power of love. Phrases like “Fue mi resurrección tu voz” (“Your voice was my resurrection”) and “Pero el milagro fue de Dios y llegó tu voz y mi salvación” (“But the miracle was from God, and your voice arrived, and my salvation”) emphasize divine intervention through human connection, equating the partner’s love and forgiveness to godly acts. The repeated references to ‘miracle’ and ‘salvation’ enhance the spiritual redemption quality of this love.



Igual que Dios in historic Context

Recorded in Argentina in 1955, “Igual que Dios” was created during a period marked by the resurgence of Tango after the decline due to political and social upheavals. The economic struggles and the complex shift in societal norms post-World War II resonate in the Tango through the themes of personal suffering, betrayal, redemption, and divine miracles. This era also saw a rise in psychological and philosophical introspection, which is reflected in the depth of emotional and existential inquiry found in the lyrics.
