Letra del Tango Llorar por una mujer

Conozco muchos que
después de criticar
se fueron a clavar en un cariño
y esos, después de reír,
los he visto sufrir
y llorar como niños…
Ahí nadie puede guapear
porque he visto aflojar
hasta el más sobrador.
Si no querés pifiar
tendrás que caminar
con cuidado en el amor.

Llorar,
llorar por una mujer
es quererla
y no tenerla.
Llorar,
Llorar por una mujer
es muy hondo padecer.
Vos, que pa’l amor
fuiste retobao,
hoy tu pena es fuerte
y te tiene arrinconcao,
y hoy que no la ves
y que la querés
se te achica el alma,
y recién sabés
lo que es:
Llorar,
llorar por una mujer.

Muchachos, ya lo ven,
al potro del amor
no hay gaucho domador que lo domine.
Cuando nos entra a tallar
una pena de amar,
el varón se define…
Ahí comprobamos lo que es
ese fiero revés
que nos hace llorar…
Conozca muchos que
después de criticar
los he ido a consolar.

English lyrics of the Tango "Llorar por una mujer"

I know many who
after criticizing
fell deep into affection,
and those, after laughing,
I’ve seen them suffer
and cry like children…
There, no one can pretend,
for I’ve seen the toughest give in.
If you don’t want to err
you must tread carefully in love.

To cry,
to cry over a woman
is to love her
and not have her.
To cry,
to cry over a woman
is a deep suffering.
You, who for love
were defiant,
today your sorrow is strong
and corners you,
and now that you don’t see her
and you want her,
your soul shrinks,
and you only then understand
what it is:
To cry,
to cry over a woman.

Guys, you see,
the wild horse of love
no cowboy can tame.
When the pain of loving hits us,
a man is defined…
Here we realize what it is
that fierce setback
that makes us cry…
I know many who
after criticizing
I’ve gone to console.

Story behind the Tango Llorar por una mujer

The transformation from skepticism to vulnerability illustrates a universal truth about human emotions and the unexpected power of love.



Symbolism of Llorar por una mujer

Cadícamo uses potent symbols and vivid language to enhance the lyrical narrative. Phrases like “los he visto sufrir / y llorar como niños” (I’ve seen them suffer / and cry like children) and “se te achica el alma” (your soul shrinks) emphasize the profound impact that emotional pain can have on one’s spirit and demeanor. These phrases capture the helplessness and despair of love, using the symbolism of shrinking and childlike crying to depict regression and vulnerability.
