Llorar por una mujer is a Tango written by Enrique Cadícamo and composed by Enrique Rodríguez.
“Llorar por una mujer” translates to “Crying over a woman” in English, capturing the essence of heartache and longing. The lyrics tell the story of men who, after initially dismissing love, find themselves deeply ensnared by it, experiencing profound emotional pain when love is unrequited or lost. The transformation from skepticism to vulnerability illustrates a universal truth about human emotions and the unexpected power of love.
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.
Written and first recorded in 1941, this Tango emerged during a transformative period in Argentina. The nation was on the brink of significant social and political changes, which might have influenced the thematic exploration of love’s power. During this era, Tango often served as an emotional outlet and a mirror to societal changes, reflecting themes of love, loss, and nostalgia that were profoundly felt in everyday life.
Enrique Cadícamo was a prolific Argentine lyricist and poet, known for his deep and evocative contributions to the Tango genre. His works often weave complex emotional landscapes, capturing the essence of Argentinian culture and sentiment.
