Letra del Tango Lo han visto con otra

Lo he visto con otra, te han dicho esta tarde;

lo han visto con otra, ¡con una mujer!

Que no lo querías, hacías alarde,

y hoy confesabas tu hondo querer.

Ya ves, vecinita, lo ingrata que has sido,

ayer te burlabas de su pobre amor,

pero hoy una amiga te ha dicho al oído:

Lo he visto con otra, y llorás de dolor.



Tango, tango,

vos que fuiste el amigo

confidente de su amor.

Tango, tango

hoy precisa de tu ayuda

para calmar su dolor.

Tango, tango,

vos que estás en todas partes,

esta noche es la ocasión,

de que llegue hasta su reja

el eco de una queja

de un triste bandoneón.



¡Yo tengo una pena que llevo en el alma

por una perversa que no sé olvidar!,

sus ojos muy negros robaron mi calma

y sufro en silencio. ¡Yo no sé llorar!…

Ya ves, yo no tengo tampoco alegría,

por eso me apena de verte sufrir.

¡También en mis noches, tan tristes y frías,

las horas son largas!… No puedo dormir.

English lyrics of the Tango "Lo han visto con otra"

I saw him with another, they told you this afternoon;

they saw him with another, with a woman!

You didn’t want him, you used to boast,

and today you confessed your deep love.

You see, neighbor, how ungrateful you’ve been,

yesterday you mocked his poor love,

but today a friend has whispered in your ear:

I saw him with another, and you cry in pain.

Tango, tango,

you who were the friend

confidant of his love.

Tango, tango,

today he needs your help

to soothe his pain.

Tango, tango,

you who are everywhere,

tonight is the time,

for the echo of a lament

from a sad bandoneón

to reach his window grille.

I have a sorrow that I carry in my soul

for a wicked woman that I can’t forget!,

her very black eyes stole my peace

and I suffer in silence. I don’t know how to cry!…

You see, I have no joy either,

that’s why it pains me to see you suffer.

Also in my nights, so sad and cold,

the hours are long!… I cannot sleep.

Story behind the Tango Lo han visto con otra

“Lo han visto con otra” translates to “He has been seen with another,” which clearly sets the stage for a narrative of love, betrayal, and heartache. The lyrics expose the pain of someone who has been informed by a friend that their former lover is now with another woman. Despite previously claiming indifference, this news stirs deep emotions and regrets. The protagonist’s conflicted emotions are deepened by confessing her own enduring love, expressing the pain of unreciprocated feelings and the harsh reality of her lover’s infidelity.



Symbolism of Lo han visto con otra

The tango, as a dance and a musical genre, frequently encapsulates themes of love, betrayal, and sorrow; “Lo han visto con otra” exemplifies this. The tango itself is personified in the lyrics as a comforting presence during heartbreak. Phrases like “Tango, tango, vos que fuiste el amigo confiente de su amor” symbolize the dance as a confidant to lovers, highlighting its role in Argentinian cultural expressions of passion and pain. The reference to the “triste bandoneón” (sad bandoneon) enriches this symbolism, as the instrument’s melancholic tones evoke a sense of longing and loss. The tango thus acts as both a witness and consoler in times of emotional distress.



Lo han visto con otra in historic Context

Released in 1969, “Lo han visto con otra” emerges during a vibrant yet tumultuous period in Argentina’s history, characterized by political and social unrest. The tango was a crucial outlet for expression and escapism. In a society where direct criticism of the status quo was often censored or repressed, tangos like this could subtly reflect personal upheavals that might parallel larger societal issues. Lyrics focusing on personal betrayal and suffering could be interpreted as metaphors for broader disillusionments of the time.
