Letra del Tango Mama llevame p'al pueblo

¡Mama, sabís una cosa,

otra vez el güerto se vistió de rosa!

¡Mama, vos no tires cuenta

que en el aire tibio hay olor a menta!

¡Mama, asomáte afuera

y decíme luego si es la primavera!

Y bueno che mama

le tengo una rabia a la primavera

borracha de sol ya tengo veinte años

y naides me mira metida en el hueco

de un rancho de alcol.

Lleváme pa’l pueblo que la gente sepa

como es la ramera del calabazán

Cabello en mi pelo, mi cara, mi cuello

¡que toquen lo mesmo que Santo Tomás!

¡Mama, sabís una cosa,

otra vez el güerto se vistió de rosa!

¡Mama, vos no tires cuenta

que en el aire tibio hay olor a menta!

¡Mama, asomáte afuera

y decíme luego si es la primavera!

Lleváme pa’l pueblo que siento en las venas

subir como fiebre por culpa Â‘el calor

total que te cuesta,

caballos tenemos y de un alotico nos vamos las dos

lleváme pa’l pueblo

Comprame una barra grandota de rouge, con diez de rimmel,

te juro mi mama,

pintáme la trompa, los ojos, las uñas para merecer.

¡Mama, sabeís una cosa,

otra vez el güerto se vistió de rosa!

¡Mama, vos no tires cuenta

que en el aire tibio hay olor a menta!

¡Mama, asomáte afuera

y decíme luego si es la primavera!

English lyrics of the Tango "Mama llevame p'al pueblo"

Mom, do you know something,

the orchard is dressed in pink again!

Mom, don’t you notice

that there’s a scent of mint in the warm air?

Mom, peek outside

and then tell me if it’s spring!

Well, hey Mom,

I’m so mad at spring,

sun-drunk, I’m twenty years old,

and no one notices me tucked in the corner

of a shack made of alcohol.

Take me to the town so people can see

the whore of the pumpkin patch

Hair all over my hair, my face, my neck

let them touch the same as Saint Thomas!

Mom, do you know something,

the orchard is dressed in pink again!

Mom, don’t you notice

that there’s a scent of mint in the warm air?

Mom, peek outside

and then tell me if it’s spring!

Take me to the town, I feel in my veins

a fever rising due to the heat,

it doesn’t cost you anything,

we have horses and with a little bit we can both go

take me to the town.

Buy me a big bar of rouge, with ten of mascara,

I swear, my mom,

paint my lips, eyes, nails to deserve it.

Mom, do you know something,

the orchard is dressed in pink again!

Mom, don’t you notice

that there’s a scent of mint in the warm air?

Mom, peek outside

and then tell me if it’s spring!

Story behind the Tango Mama llevame p’al pueblo

The tango “Mama llevame p’al pueblo” vividly paints the struggle and desire of a young woman seeking change and recognition. Set against the backdrop of her mundane and narrow rural life, the protagonist implores her mother to take her to the town where she can reveal her true self and perhaps reshape her identity. This plea is layered with her frustrations and the colorful imagery of nature renewing itself, which sharply contrasts with her static life.

Symbolism of Mama llevame p’al pueblo

Several key phrases in the song such as “otra vez el güerto se vistió de rosa” (the orchard has turned pink again) and “en el aire tibio hay olor a menta” (there is a scent of mint in the warm air) contrast the recurring beauty of nature with the stagnation felt by the protagonist. The line “lleváme pa’l pueblo que la gente sepa como es la ramera del calabazán” suggests a desire to break free from societal judgments and perhaps redefine her reputation. The use of cosmetics, as symbolized by the “barra grandota de rouge, con diez de rimmel,” represents a mask or a new persona she wishes to adopt to gain attention and respect.
