Lo han visto con otra is a Tango written and composed by Horacio Pettorossi.
The lyrics of “Lo han visto con otra” translate to “They have seen him with another” in English, capturing a moment of painful revelation and heartbreak. The narrative centers on a person, addressed by their neighbor, who discovers from a friend that their beloved has been seen with another woman. This revelation shatters their facade of indifference, unveiling a deep, unacknowledged love. Themes of betrayal, hidden emotions, and the aftershock of such a discovery are poignantly explored through the conversation between neighbors and the internal monologue reflecting personal grief.
Significant symbolism in “Lo han visto con otra” is found in the recurrent reference to the Tango itself. The Tango is personified and called upon as an “amigo confidente” (trusted friend) and a beacon of support for the heartbroken. It implies the cultural significance of Tango as not just a dance but as an emotional outlet and a companion in times of emotional turmoil. The “triste bandoneón” (sad bandoneon) further symbolizes the depth of sorrow, as its somber, soulful sound encapsulates the essence of loss and longing inherent in Tango music.
The Tango “Lo han visto con otra” was penned in 1952, a time when Tango music was intertwined deeply with the cultural and emotional landscape of Argentina. This period was marked by political strife and social changes in the country. In such a context, Tango served as both a reflection of societal sentiments and an escape for individuals. The emotional transparency and the themes of love and betrayal in the Tango likely resonated strongly with an audience experiencing a flux of societal and personal uncertainties.
Horacio Pettorossi was a renowned Argentine musician and composer, celebrated for his contributions to the Tango genre. His works often encapsulate the emotional intensity and the narrative depth characteristic of classic Tango music.
