Los mareados

Los mareados is a Tango written by Juan Carlos Cobián and recorded by Cuarteto Aníbal TROILO in 1968. Cuarteto Aníbal TROILO has recorded Los mareados as an instrumental Tango.
“Los Mareados,” or “The Dizzy Ones,” is a haunting tango that sways with the heavy heart of a love lost in the shadows of indulgence and regret. Each note spirals like a restless dance upon the ocean, tangled in the currents of nostalgia and longing. It whispers tales of souls adrift, caught in the intoxicating whirlwind of passion and despair.

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…
like a flame
I found you drinking
beautiful and fatal…
You drank,
and in the frenzy of champagne,
madly, you laughed to keep from crying…
Pity
struck me to see you
for looking at you
I saw your eyes shine
with an electric fire,
your beautiful eyes I once adored…

Tonight, my friend,
alcohol has intoxicated us…
What does it matter if they laugh
and call us the drunken ones!
Everyone has their sorrows
and we have ours…
Tonight we will drink
because we will not meet again…

Today you will enter into my past,
into the past of my life…
Three things my wounded soul carries:
love… regret… pain…
Today you will enter into my past
and today we will take new paths…
How great was our love!…
And yet, alas!
look at what remains…

Story behind the Tango Los mareados

“Los mareados,” a poignant tango, captures a deeply emotional and introspective moment between two former lovers who reunite in a bittersweet setting. They encounter each other in a bar, engaging in drinking that reflects their attempts to obscure their pain and nostalgia. The lyrics illustrate a powerful scene where joy is overshadowed by the underlying sorrow of unfulfilled love and the realization of irreversible separation. The melancholic remembrance of what once was and will never be again echoes through their current farewell, emphasizing both resignation and the sharp sting of past connections.

Symbolism of Los mareados

The symbolism in “Los mareados” is rich and emphasizes the emotional and temporal distances between the characters. The electric ardor in their eyes indicates both a remaining passion and the painful acknowledgment of its fading light. The consistent reference to alcohol — depicted through the atmosphere of drinking and laughter masking tears — serves as a metaphor for both the intoxicating nature of love and its potential to lead to confusion and despair. “Esta noche, amiga mía, el alcohol nos ha embriagado…” portrays alcohol as a facilitator of stark honesty between the pair, erasing barriers but also highlighting the permanence of their emotional scars.

Los mareados in historic Context

Recorded in 1968 in Argentina, “Los mareados” emerged during a period rich in political and social upheaval. Argentina was marked by significant cultural shifts and political instability, which often influenced its art forms, particularly tango, which historically has been a medium for expressing more subversive undertones. During this era, a nostalgic longing for the past and a critique of present sorrows often emerged in literature and music, encapsulated here where the past’s allure and pain are inextricable, mirroring the societal yearning for stability and happier times.
