Letra del Tango Indiferencia

Yo también como todos un día
tenía dinero, amigos y hogar.
Nunca supe que había falsía,
que el mundo sabía también traicionar.

Pero cuando a mi vida tranquila
llegó la primera terrible verdad
busqué apoyo en aquellos que amaba
y crueles me dieron soledad.

Ilusión que viviendo latente
pasó entre la gente y pura siguió;
ilusión, hoy te busco y no estás,
ilusión, no te puedo encontrar.

Mi pasado sucumbe aterido
temblando en el frío
de mi vida actual…
Y los años, pasando y pasando,
me están reprochando
porque no hice mal.

Si la vida pasó por tu lado
dejando tronchado tu sino y tu fe,
la maldad que truncó tu camino
pondrá en tu destino de amores la sed.

Pero cuando, vencido y cansado,
tu pecho agobiado requiera bondad,
volverá la cabeza la gente
dando indiferente soledad.

English lyrics of the Tango "Indiferencia"

Just like everyone else, there was a time
when I had money, friends, and a home.
I never knew there was deception,
that the world also knew betrayal.

But when the first terrible truth
came into my tranquil life,
I sought support in those I loved
and they cruelly gave me solitude.

An illusion that lived dormant,
passed among people and remained pure;
illusion, today I look for you and you’re not here,
illusion, I cannot find you.

My past succumbs, shivering,
trembling in the cold
of my current life…
And the years, passing and passing,
reproach me
because I did no wrong.

If life passed by your side
leaving your fate and faith shattered,
the evil that cut off your path
will place a thirst for love in your destiny.

But when, defeated and tired,
your burdened chest seeks kindness,
people will turn their heads,
giving indifferent solitude.

Story behind the Tango Indiferencia

The Tango “Indiferencia” tells a profound narrative of disillusionment and solitude. The lyrics delve into the personal transformation of a once fortunate individual who faces the harsh reality of betrayal and abandonment. As the protagonist’s life shifts from a state of wealth and companionship to isolation, the narrative emphasizes the bitter acknowledgment of human falsity and the cold reception from those he once trusted.



Symbolism of Indiferencia

The recurring theme of indifferent solitude serves as a significant symbol throughout the song. Key expressions such as “buscar apoyo en aquellos que amaba, y crueles me dieron soledad” highlight the protagonist’s plea for support met with cold indifference, symbolizing a broader societal tendency to ignore those in distress. The term “indiferencia” itself encapsulates not only feelings of being overlooked but also a grievous acceptance of human nature’s darker, uncaring side.



Indiferencia in historic Context

“Indiferencia” was penned in 1938, a time when Argentina and the broader world were grappling with economic and political upheaval preceding World War II. The artwork captures the pervasive feelings of mistrust and alienation, mirroring the broader societal anxieties of the time. The geopolitical tensions and economic troubles may have amplified personal and collective feelings of despair, remarkably illustrated in the lyric’s portrayal of a disillusioned and solitary individual.
