Letra del Tango Me grita el corazón

Has llegado hasta mi vida triste
Y has querido marchitar mi angustia,
Me grita el corazón que es el amor
Me grita que me abrace a tu querer.

Si pudiera creer en su latir
Y volver a sonreír y matar mi cobardía,
Si yo supiera que eres tú mi salvación
A Dios le pediría, su bendición.

Olvido que busco afanoso,
Aquellos verdes ojos
Que me han muerto en vida.
Me miran del fondo del recuerdo,
Me siguen, me persiguen con tesón.
Aquella ilusión fue tan querida
Que nada conforma al corazón.
Yo soy extranjero en el mundo,
Y meditabundo
Vivo en mi dolor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Me grita el corazón"

You’ve come into my sorrowful life
And wished to wither my despair,
My heart screams it’s love
It yells for me to embrace your affection.

If I could believe in its beat
And smile again, and kill my cowardice,
If I knew you are my salvation
I would ask God for his blessing.

The forgetfulness I fervently seek,
Those green eyes,
That have killed me in life.
They gaze at me from the depths of memory,
They follow me, they chase me relentlessly.
That dream was so beloved
That nothing satisfies the heart.
I am a stranger in the world,
Pensive,
Living in my pain.

Story behind the Tango Me grita el corazón

“Me grita el corazón” translates to “My heart screams to me,” reflecting a profound outcry from within the narrator’s soul. Roberto Miró, through poignant lyrics, captures the essence of a person haunted by past love and struggling with inner turmoil and longing. The persona here is facing the duality of desiring to forget a painful past indicated by “Olvido que busco afanoso,” yet is incessantly reminded of it, as those memories continue to pursue him relentlessly, “Aquellos verdes ojos / Que me han muerto en vida.”

Symbolism of Me grita el corazón

The repeated phrase “Me grita el corazón” symbolizes an internal conflict so intense it feels like a physical shout within the protagonist. This intense emotional expression suggests a struggle between moving forward and being pulled back by memories. The “verdes ojos” (green eyes) symbolize a specific memory or person that haunts the narrator, evoking vivid and painful beauty that refuses to fade into the background. Furthermore, the reference to seeking God’s blessing, “A Dios le pediría, su bendición,” hints at seeking redemption or divine intervention in personal torment, a reflection of desperation and hope intermingled.

Me grita el corazón in historic Context

Recorded in 1946, a period marked by global restructuring post World War II and significant political changes in Argentina itself, “Me grita el corazón” echoes personal and collective insecurities. During this era, Tango often mirrored societal sentiments, dealing with themes of loss, displacement, and profound longing, reflective of the broader uncertainties of the time. Roberto Miró’s lyrics capture this zeitgeist, positioning the individual’s emotional upheaval within a context of broader societal turmoil and transition.
