Letra del Tango Lo mismo que un tango

Con notas de un tango, comenzó el idilio
Con notas de un tango, empecé a querer,
Brillaba en sus ojos fuego sin dominio
Su sombra me seguía si poderla contener.
No obstante su aprecio, yo quise olvidarla
Mas todo fue en vano, quería vencer,
Quedó entre sus manos como en el abismo
Mi vida, mi alma y todo mi ser.

Lo mismo que un tango
Fue nuestro cariño,
Ternura, lamento,
Tortura y amor.
Lo mismo que un tango
Vivimos la vida,
Tras la que se ha ido
Toda la ilusión.

Lo mismo que un tango
Seguimos la marcha,
Perdidos, sin ruta
Barco sin timón.
Romance truncado
Como flor marchita,
Lo mismo que un tango
Se muere de amor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Lo mismo que un tango"

With notes from a tango, the romance began
With notes from a tango, I began to love,
In her eyes shone a wild fire
Her shadow followed me, beyond my control.
Despite her affection, I tried to forget her
But all was in vain, I wanted to conquer,
In her hands, like in the abyss,
Lay my life, my soul, and all my being.

Just like a tango
Was our affection,
Tenderness, lament,
Torture, and love.
Just like a tango
We lived our life,
After which all illusion
Has gone.

Just like a tango
We continued on,
Lost, without a path
A ship without a rudder.
A romance interrupted
Like a withered flower,
Just like a tango
Dies from love.

Lo mismo que un tango in historic Context

“Lo mismo que un tango” was written and composed in Argentina in 1945, a period marked by significant social and political changes. The end of World War II and the evolving Argentine political landscape during this era may have influenced the themes of uncertainty and disillusionment in the lyrics. The recurring reference to a rudderless ship (“Barco sin timón”) metaphorically captures the lack of direction and control, reflective of the broader existential and societal anxieties of the time. Furthermore, the tango, deeply ingrained in Argentine identity, serves as a poignant medium through which to explore personal and collective experiences of loss and longing.
