Letra del Tango Llamale H

Sin grupo que admiro

Al hombre de antaño,

Que nunca algún daño

Llegó a doblegar.

Pues si la desgracia

Su puerta golpeaba,

Sereno aguantaba

Y sin pestañar.



Le dicen “valiente”

Al que se suicida,

Yo digo: mentira

Valor es luchar.

Escuchen atentos

Tres sabios consejos,

Si quieren a viejos

Tranquilos llegar:



Si te vas a escolazar

Y te hacen patinar…

Llamale H.



Si algún amigo fiel

Te espianta la mujer…

Llamale H.



Si del filo ´e la vejez

Sentís alguna vez…

Llamale H.



Y siempre sonreí

Es de hombres aguantar

Los golpes sin llorar.

English lyrics of the Tango "Llamale H"

I admire the man of old,
Who was never bent by harm,
For if misfortune
Knocked on his door,
He endured calmly,
And without even a blink.

They call him “brave”
The one who ends his life,
I say: that’s untrue,
Courage lies in the fight.
Listen closely
To three wise pieces of advice,
If you want to reach old age
With peace of mind:

If you’re supposed to be wise
And they make you slip…
Call it H.

If a faithful friend
Frightens away your woman…
Call it H.

If from the edge of old age
You ever feel…
Call it H.

And always smile,
It’s manly to endure
Blows without crying.

Llamale H by Hermes Peressini

Llamale H is a Tango written and composed by Hermes Peressini.

Story behind the Tango Llamale H

The primary theme of “Llamale H” revolves around resilience and confronting adversity with courage. The lyrics reflect admiration for the steadfast and stoic man of yesteryears who faced life’s challenges without faltering. Hermes Peressini uses this tango to critique the concept of bravery often associated with extreme actions such as suicide, instead advocating for facing life’s challenges head-on without succumbing to them. The repeated phrase “Llamale H” serves as a resilient response to various life situations.

Symbolism of Llamale H

“Llamale H”, indicating resilience, is a metaphor for summoning courage and not despairing in the face of life’s obstacles. Each verse ends with this phrase as an emblematic response, signifying the mental fortitude needed to confront and overcome life’s adversities. Peressini’s mention of scenarios like betrayal by a close friend or the trials of old age, underpins the lyrical focus on personal strength and integrity. The simplicity of this repeated phrase amplifies the message that enduring hardships nobly is a virtue worth aspiring to.

Llamale H in historic Context

“Llamale H” was composed in 1932 Argentina, a time characterized by political and economic instability. The message of facing adversity stoically would have resonated deeply with an Argentine audience coping with the effects of the Great Depression, which severely impacted Argentina’s economy. The call to handle challenges gracefully without resorting to drastic measures would reflect a wider societal need for hope and endurance in the face of collective hardship.
