“Indiferencia,” which translates to “Indifference” in English, weaves a tale of palpable longing brushed aside by emotional detachment. The melody sways with notes of unreciprocated affection, a dance where one partner steps forward and the other remains aloof.

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"

I too, like everyone one day,
had money, friends, and a home.
I never knew there was falseness,
that the world also knew betrayal.

But when to my peaceful life
arrived the first terrible truth,
I sought support in those I loved
and cruelly they gave me solitude.

Illusion that living latent,
passed among the people and remained pure;
illusion, today I search for you and you’re not there,
illusion, I cannot find you.

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

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

But when, defeated and tired,
your overwhelmed heart requires kindness,
people will turn their heads
offering indifferent solitude.

Story behind the Tango Indiferencia

The main theme in “Indiferencia” revolves around disillusionment and betrayal, effectively capturing the emotional turmoil of someone who once had everything—money, friends, and a home. The lyrics poignantly convey the harsh reality of discovering betrayal and falsity in a place and among people once believed to be sincere and trustworthy. The narrator speaks from a position of regret, focusing on the solitude imparted by those he loved when he needed support the most.



Symbolism of Indiferencia

The symbolism in “Indiferencia” is primarily found in its portrayal of emotional solitude and disillusionment. The repeated reference to ‘soledad’ (solitude) not only underscores the protagonist’s loneliness but also represents a universal human fear of alienation and abandonment. Key phrases such as “busqué apoyo en aquellos que amaba / y crueles me dieron soledad” (I sought support from those I loved / and cruelly they gave me solitude) highlight the deep betrayal and resultant isolation felt by the narrator. Additionally, the term ‘indiferencia’ translates to ‘indifference’ in English, symbolizing a cold disconnection from one’s former life of joy and community.



Indiferencia in Historic Context

“Indiferencia” was recorded in 1942, during a significant period in Argentina’s history, marked by political instability and societal changes. This time’s intensity may have influenced the theme of disillusionment in the song. The portrayal of personal betrayal can be likened to the broader socio-political betrayals experienced nationally, mirroring the disconnect between the Argentine populace and its leadership during a tumultuous era. The tango’s somber tone and reflective lyrics reflect a collective sentiment of nostalgia and loss felt by many during this period.
