Letra del Tango Lo siento en el alma

De toda tu ruina, tu barro y miseria,

con besos y sueños te quise arrancar.

Y así, poco a poco, curé tus heridas

y llené tu vida de amor y bondad.

Pero sin embargo un día arrojaste

brutal por el fango el sol de mi amor.

Hoy vuelves, de nuevo, ahora que es tarde,

ahora que tengo sin fe el corazón.



Lo siento en el alma,

no puedo besarte,

no puedo quererte

ni darte un perdón.

Lo siento en el alma,

andate y no vuelvas,

lo nuestro fue un sueño

que ya terminó.

Lo siento en el alma,

tu engaño y mi orgullo

cerraron la puerta de

mi corazón.



Ahogarte en mis brazos hubiese querido,

abrirte las venas, matarte y morir.

Cegado de rabia buscaba encontrarte

para desahogarme de tanto sufrir.

Después yo me dije, no vale la pena,

hundirme y perderme total… ¿para qué?

Ahora regresas golpeando a mi puerta,

ahora que es tarde, muy tarde ya ves.

English lyrics of the Tango "Lo siento en el alma"

From all your ruin, your mud and misery,

with kisses and dreams, I tried to pull you out.

And so, little by little, I healed your wounds

and filled your life with love and kindness.

But yet one day you threw

the sun of my love brutally into the mud.

Today you return, again, now that it’s too late,

now that my heart is without faith.



I’m sorry from the soul,

I cannot kiss you,

I cannot love you

nor give you forgiveness.

I’m sorry from the soul,

leave and don’t come back,

ours was a dream

that has already ended.

I’m sorry from the soul,

your deceit and my pride

have closed the door of

my heart.



I wanted to drown you in my arms,

to open your veins, to kill you and die.

Blinded by rage I sought to find you

to vent the pain of suffering so much.

Then I told myself, it’s not worth it,

to sink and lose myself completely… why?

Now you return knocking on my door,

now that it’s too late, you see, too late.

Story behind the Tango Lo siento en el alma

“Lo siento en el alma” reflects the deep emotional turmoil and heartache stemming from a failed love. The lyrics tell the story of someone who tried to uplift their partner from despair (“De toda tu ruina, tu barro y miseria, con besos y sueños te quise arrancar”) and heal their emotional wounds, only to be met with betrayal. This betrayal led to a painful decision that love and forgiveness are no longer possible (“Lo siento en el alma, no puedo besarte, no puedo quererte ni darte un perdón”). The narrative unfurls a tale of love, betrayal, and the irreversible closure of a once hopeful heart.



Symbolism of Lo siento en el alma

The repeated phrase “Lo siento en el alma” which translates to “I feel it in my soul,” underscores the depth of anguish experienced by the speaker. The soul, a symbol of one’s innermost being, highlights how profoundly the betrayal has impacted them. The mention of “engaging brutes in the mud” symbolizes the careless and harsh destruction of the pure love that was offered, while the closed door of the heart at the end of the song symbolizes finality and an irreversible emotional break.



Lo siento en el alma in historic Context

Created in 1954, post-World War II era Argentina was marked by political and social changes. This period involved significant emotional and economic turmoil, which can be felt in the evocative imagery of ruin and misery in the lyrics. During such times, Tangos often reflected themes of loss, melancholia, and nostalgia, mirroring the socio-economic backdrop that influenced everyday lives. “Lo siento en el alma” portrays personal despair and betrayal that could metaphorically align with the broader societal feelings of disillusionment of the era.
