Letra del Tango La intriga

Volvamos a juntar
los labios como ayer
ya el odio y el rencor pasó.
Sin salvación el corazón perdimos
y por un triste callejón nos fuimos.
Hablé fuera de mi,
la duda pudo más
y el llanto nos hundió a los dos
esa boca austera, falsa y embustera
que sembró la intriga y nos traicionó.

¿No es verdad, corazón que me quieres?
Dímelo, si lo leo en tus ojos
que sepan de tu boca que soy yo
el único cariño que el alma te encendió.
Por piedad diles tú y que escuchen
esas gentes que intrigan mi amor
que eres mía hasta morir
y éste amor no han de sentir
porque viven sin alma y sin Dios.

English lyrics of the Tango "La intriga"

Let’s bring our lips together
like we did before,
the hatred and bitterness have passed.
Without salvation, we lost our hearts
and down a sad alley, we departed.
I spoke out of turn,
doubt overwhelmed,
and tears sank us both.
That austere mouth, false and deceitful
that sowed intrigue and betrayed us.

Isn’t it true, my heart, that you love me?
Tell me, if I read it in your eyes
let them hear from your lips that it is I
the only love that ignited your soul.
For mercy, tell them and let them listen
those people who meddle in my love
that you are mine until death
and this love they will not feel
because they live without soul and without God.

Story behind the Tango La intriga

“La intriga” revolves around themes of reconciliation and the remorse of misunderstood emotions in a relationship. The protagonist reflects on past misunderstandings that led to separation but now seeks to restore the lost love. The lyrics imply a past filled with bitterness (“ya el odio y el rencor pasó”) but also a desire to return and mend the emotional rift (“Volvamos a juntar los labios como ayer”).


Symbolism of La intriga

The lyrics of “La intriga” are rich with symbolic language and evoke powerful contrasting imagery. The phrase “un triste callejón” symbolizes a dark and difficult phase in the couple’s relationship, emphasizing the loneliness and isolation they experienced. The mouth described as “austera, falsa y embustera” highlights the devastating impact of lies and deceit on trust between the couple. This imagery strengthens the theme of betrayal and the damage caused by outside interference or miscommunication within intimate relationships.


La intriga in historic Context

Written and recorded in Argentina in 1950, “La intriga” reflects the post-World War II era, a time of recovery and introspection. The composition by Héctor Stamponi, coupled with the poignant lyrics by Héctor Marcó, offers a glimpse into the emotional and social currents of the time. This era, filled with its own intrigues and reconstructions, is mirrored in the personal reconciliation and plea for clarity and truth in the lyrics, highlighting a communal desire to rebuild and renew not just relationships but the very fabric of society.
