Letra del Tango Los mareados

Rara..
como encendida
te hallé bebiendo
linda y fatal…
Bebías
y en el fragor del champán,
loca, reías por no llorar…
Pena
Me dio encontrarte
pues al mirarte
yo vi brillar
tus ojos
con un eléctrico ardor,
tus bellos ojos que tanto adoré…

Esta noche, amiga mía,
el alcohol nos ha embriagado…
¡Qué importa que se rían
y nos llamen los mareados!
Cada cual tiene sus penas
y nosotros las tenemos…
Esta noche beberemos
porque ya no volveremos
a vernos más…

Hoy vas a entrar en mi pasado,
en el pasado de mi vida…
Tres cosas lleva mi alma herida:
amor… pesar… dolor…
Hoy vas a entrar en mi pasado
y hoy nuevas sendas tomaremos…
¡Qué grande ha sido nuestro amor!…
Y, sin embargo, ¡ay!,
mirá lo que quedó…

English lyrics of the Tango "Los mareados"

Strange…
as if aflame
I found you drinking
lovely and fatal…
You drank
and amidst the champagne’s clamor,
madly you laughed not to cry…
Sorrow
It gave me to find you
for in looking at you
I saw shining
your eyes
with an electric blaze,
your beautiful eyes I so adored…

Tonight, my friend,
the alcohol has intoxicated us…
What does it matter if they laugh
and call us the dizzy ones!
Each one has their sorrows
and we have ours…
Tonight we will drink
because we will not return
to see each other again…

Today you will enter my past,
into the past of my life…
Three things my wounded soul carries:
love… sorrow… pain…
Today you will enter my past
and today new paths we shall take…
How great was our love!…
And yet, oh!
look what is left…

Story behind the Tango Los mareados

The tango “Los mareados” tells a poignant story of melancholy and nostalgia, revealing a scene where two individuals, drowning in alcohol, confront the end of a significant relationship. The lyrics vividly depict a night where emotions run high under the influence of champagne, giving rise to laughter that seeks to mask deeper sorrow. The encounter is infused with a sense of inevitability, as the narrator reflects on past joys and the painful realization that parting ways is now their only path forward.

Symbolism of Los mareados

The tango employs powerful symbolic language that enhances its emotional impact. The recurring imagery of alcohol-induced dizziness or stupefaction (“mareados”) symbolizes the characters’ desire to escape reality and numb their emotional pain. The contrast between laughter and tears, between light and shadow, highlights the conflict between repressed emotions and the facade of happiness. Key phrases such as “loca, reías por no llorar” (crazy, you laughed so you wouldn’t cry) encapsulate the struggle to portray joy while silently harboring sorrow.

Los mareados in historic Context

Created in 1942 in Buenos Aires, the tango reflects the cultural and social dynamics of Argentina during a time characterized by political instability and economic uncertainty. Tango, as a genre rooted in the working-class neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, became an essential form of emotional expression and storytelling for its people. In “Los mareados,” the poignant themes of love, loss, and longing resonate with the shared experiences of many facing personal and societal upheavals, reinforcing the tango’s role as a mirror to the soul of Buenos Aires.

The Author of “Los mareados” was steeped in the rich tradition of Argentine tango, contributing greatly to its lyrical and emotional depth. His collaboration with composer Juan Carlos Cobián created an unforgettable piece that stands as a testament to the enduring power of the tango to capture human emotion.
