Letra del Tango Me estan sobrando las penas

A mi me están sobrando las penas,
tal vez porque me lo tomo a pecho,
tal vez porque se que me desdeña
y queriendo como quiero
y esperando como espero
no he logrado que me quiera.
Me están sobrando las penas
y con penas duele más la soledad.

Suerte que tengo un corazón
hecho al rigor de cien esperas.
Si habré perdido esperanzas,
aguantado malas rachas
y si habré domado penas.
Mas yo se bien que no es vivir
andar así, siempre golpeado,
sin un cariño que alivie este sino
de andar esquivando el dolor.

A mi me están sobrando las penas
tal vez porque nunca tuve suerte,
tal vez porque siento a mi manera
y tal vez, y lo más cierto,
porque vivo padeciendo
por su amor, que se me niega.
Me están sobrando las penas
y con penas duele más la soledad.

English lyrics of the Tango "Me estan sobrando las penas"

I have too many sorrows,
perhaps because I take it to heart,
perhaps because I know she scorns me,
and loving as I love,
and waiting as I wait,
I have not managed to make her love me.
I have too many sorrows
and with sorrows, loneliness hurts more.

Luckily, I have a heart
made tough by a hundred waits.
I must have lost hope,
endured bad streaks,
and I must have tamed sorrows.
But I know well that it’s not living
to go on this way, always beaten,
without a love to ease this fate
of dodging pain.

I have too many sorrows
perhaps because I’ve never been lucky,
perhaps because I feel in my own way
and perhaps, and most certainly,
because I live suffering
for her love, which is denied to me.
I have too many sorrows
and with sorrows, loneliness hurts more.

The lyrics depict a person who is deeply heartbroken, burdened by sorrow, and continually longing for a love that is denied to them. The song narrates the suffering and solitude that accompanies unreciprocated feelings, manifesting as emotional surplus that burdens the protagonist.

This surplus of pain symbolizes the overwhelming nature of unreturned love. The heart “made tough by a hundred waits” represents resilience and the capacity to withstand emotional hardship, yet acknowledges the fruitlessness of such endurance when it comes to love. The song captures the essence of tango as a dance and music genre steeped in emotions like love, loss, and nostalgia.
