Letra del Tango Más allá

Han pasado tres años ya
y no se que será de ti,
me parece escuchar tan cerca de mi
tu voz bañada en llanto;
es horrible vivir así,
sepultado en la oscuridad
de mis ojos sin luz,
que no te han de ver jamás.

Mas allá donde el viento
tal vez un amor escondió,
ha podido sus penas contar
mi corazón.
Mas allá de la muerte y de Dios,
óyeme, más allá…
Puede ser que me aleje de ti
la eternidad.

Cuantas veces la soledad
mis tristezas acarició
y, queriendo olvidar, busqué en el alcohol
consumir mis quebrantos,
pero el alma se doblegó
recordándote más y más
y, hoy me mata saber,
que no te veré jamás.

English lyrics of the Tango "Más allá"

Three years have passed by now
and I don’t know what became of you,
I seem to hear so close to me
your voice bathed in tears;
it’s horrible to live like this,
buried in the darkness
of my lightless eyes,
that will never see you again.

Beyond where the wind
perhaps hid a love,
my heart has been able to share
its sorrows.
Beyond death and God,
hear me, beyond …
Eternity may take me away from you.

How many times loneliness
has caressed my sadness
and, wanting to forget, I sought in alcohol
to consume my afflictions,
but my soul submitted
remembering you more and more
and, today it kills me to know,
that I will never see you again.

Story behind the Tango Más allá

The lyrics of “Más allá” reveal a heartbreaking story of loss and longing. The speaker reminisces about someone they lost three years ago and express an overwhelming sense of grief and darkness. The repeated line “que no te han de ver jamás” (they will never see you again) captures the permanence of this separation. The idea that their loved one’s voice still haunts them illustrates the depth of their sorrow and the persistence of their memory.


Symbolism of Más allá

“Más allá”, meaning “Beyond” in English, carries a weight of infinite separation and a journey into the unknowable. The use of locations like “where the wind” and metaphysical dimensions “beyond death and God” symbolize an exploration of spaces that are unreachable in the physical realm, pointing to a spiritual or existential quest. References to “the darkness of my eyes without light” and seeking solace “in alcohol” signify a deep-rooted despair and an attempt to obliterate one’s consciousness and suffering.


Más allá in historic Context

The release of this tango in 1939 in Argentina came shortly before the world was engulfed in the turmoil of World War II, reflecting a period of global uncertainty and personal turmoil. Buenos Aires, a melting pot of culture and emotions, often echoed such sentiments in its music, particularly in tangos that typically carry layers of emotions, reflecting personal experiences against a backdrop of broader social and political forces.


José María Contursi

José María Contursi was a significant figure in the Argentine tango scene, known for his deeply emotional lyrics and romantic style.
