Letra del Tango La baguala

Sufriendo el frío chaparrón
De su cruel y gaucho desdén,
Lleno de pena y de ternura
Sigo tu huella, mesmo que ayer.

Con el calor de una ilusión
Y la ventura de un querer,
Yo formaré un nidito
Pa´ este cariño mío
Que sufre, china, por ser fiel.

English lyrics of the Tango "La baguala"

Suffering the cold downpour
Of your cruel and rustic disdain,
Full of sorrow and tenderness
I follow your footsteps, just like yesterday.

With the warmth of an illusion
And the fortune of a love,
I will build a little nest
For this affection of mine
That suffers, dear, to be faithful.

Story behind the Tango La baguala

The tango “La baguala” tells a poignant story of unreciprocated love set against the backdrop of the traditional Argentine environment. The narrative revolves around a lover, tormented by the cold disdain of a possibly unrequited or distant beloved, yet driven by a deep-seated hope and tender emotions. The lover expresses a wish to nurture a loyal relationship, despite suffering and heartache.

Symbolism of La baguala

The lyrics of “La baguala” are rich in symbolism and metaphorical language, evoking deep emotions. The “frío chaparrón” (cold downpour) symbolizes the harshness and indifference faced by the lover, mirroring the trials one confronts in pursuit of love. The use of “gaucho”—a term associated with Argentine cowboys and traditional rural life—evokes a sense of rugged individualism and national identity, suggesting that the lover’s quest is one of both personal and cultural significance. The “huella” (footprint) represents the lingering traces and memories of the beloved, followed with steadfast dedication. This is paired with the imagery of forming a “nidito” (little nest), which symbolizes the desire for a safe and nurturing romantic haven. Key phrases like “calor de una ilusión” (warmth of an illusion) underline the bittersweet nature of love, caught between hope and reality.

La baguala in historic Context

Created in Buenos Aires on June 23, 1931, “La baguala” emerges during a period marked by profound social and political changes in Argentina.

The early 1930s saw Argentina grappling with the effects of the Great Depression. Within this context, the themes of longing and perseverance in “La baguala” resonate deeply, reflecting both personal afflictions and broader societal struggles. The gaucho imagery connects with national pride and an affinity for rural roots amidst the urbanization of Buenos Aires.
