Letra del Tango La borrachera del tango (La embriaguez del tango)

La milonga te ha mareado, con sus locas tentaciones
Y en el baile se han quedado tus mejores ambiciones,
De aquel hombre que antes fuiste, ni las sombras quedan ya
Eres joven y estás viejo, eres otro que se va.

Tu suave mano, sedosa y blanca
Jamás luchando se encalleció
Ni ha sido nunca, la mano franca
Del hombre pobre que trabajó.
Y cuántas veces tu alma de hinojos
Irá a la madre que te adoró
¡Perdón, temblando dirán tus ojos
por la amargura que ella lloró!

Muchos andan por la vida, como vos en este ambiente
Sos una barca perdida llevada por la corriente,
Y si un día arrepentido, querés pensar en tu ayer
La barca loca se ha hundido y es imposible volver.

Dejá esa vida, no seas cobarde
Cambiá de vida, sé más varón,
La borrachera del tango brujo
Se te ha metido en el corazón.
Tal vez mañana, cuando estés triste
Sientas nostalgias del viejo hogar,
Y cuando sepas que ya no existe
¡Con cuánta pena vas a llorar!.

English lyrics of the Tango "La borrachera del tango (La embriaguez del tango) "

The milonga has you dizzy, with its crazy temptations
And in the dance, your best ambitions stayed imprisoned,
Of the man you once were, not even shadows remain,
You are young and yet you’re old, you are another who departs.

Your gentle hand, silky and fair
Never hardened through fighting with care,
Nor ever was it, a hand so open
Of the poor man who toiled and felt broken.
And how many times your soul on its knees
Will plead to the mother who worshiped thee
Forgiveness, trembling, your eyes will plea
For the bitterness her tears decree!

Many wander through life, as you are in this scene,
You’re a lost boat carried by the stream,
And if one day, in regret, you wish to think of your past
The mad boat has sunk, and return is futile at last.

Leave that life behind, don’t be a coward
Change your ways, be braver, forward,
The intoxication of the witching tango
Has buried itself within your heart’s shadow.
Perhaps tomorrow, when sadness arrives
You’ll long for the home where your old self thrives,
And when you know it’s gone, a tale untold
Oh, how deeply you’ll weep, filled with sorrow.

The tango mirrored the urban life and the existential crises faced by many. This period saw a rise in tango culture, often serving as a backdrop for exploring the complexities of human emotion and existential despair.
