Letra del Tango Mi cancion de ausencia

Ya tengo miedo del invierno frío,

y del otoño con sus hojas muertas.

Del viento hiriente cuando silba y clava,

como un puñal, su gris canción de ausencia.

Y siento miedo, porque estoy tan solo,

y no me encuentro ni en mi soledad.

Quiero ser ciego y olvidarlo todo,

pero te veo, aunque no estés mas.



Y hasta ese cielo con sus nubes negras,

que con la lluvia llora su pesar,

pinta el paisaje de mi vida oscura,

pero te siento, pues, no sé llorar…

Llevo en mi mente tu canción de ausencia,

oigo tu voz de nieve y de cristal.

Todo te nombra cuando estoy tan solo,

porque te siento, aunque no estés más.

English lyrics of the Tango "Mi cancion de ausencia"

I’m already frightened of the cold winter,
and of the autumn with its dead leaves.
Of the biting wind when it whistles and stings,
like a dagger, its gray song of absence.

And I feel scared, because I’m so alone,
and I can’t even find myself in my solitude.
I want to be blind and forget everything,
but I see you, even though you’re gone.

And even that sky with its black clouds,
which weeps its sorrow with the rain,
paints the landscape of my dark life,
but I feel you, because I can’t cry…

I carry in my mind your song of absence,
I hear your voice of snow and glass.
Everything names you when I’m so alone,
because I feel you, though you’re gone no more.

Mi cancion de ausencia by Roberto Lambertucci

Mi cancion de ausencia is a Tango written by Roberto Lambertucci and composed by Roberto Pansera.



Story behind the Tango Mi cancion de ausencia

The lyrics of “Mi canción de ausencia” translate to “My Song of Absence” in English, offering a direct insight into the primary thematic element: the poignant sense of loss and the pervasive loneliness. The narrator expresses a deep emotional pain and fear associated with the changing seasons, reflecting not only the physical coldness but the emotional void left by the absence of a loved one. The imagery of winter’s chill and autumn’s dead leaves gains metaphorical weight, echoing the inner desolation of the protagonist. The song is a melancholic lament over the memories and sensations that persist despite the absence.



Symbolism of Mi cancion de ausencia

Lambertucci uses elements of weather and seasons as potent symbols to epitomize feelings of discomfort and alienation—”Ya tengo miedo del invierno frío” (I am already afraid of the cold winter) suggests how changes can bring about fear due to their harsh and unforgiving nature. Moreover, the “viento hiriente” (hurtful wind) personifies the cutting pain of loneliness as it whistles a “gris canción de ausencia” (grey song of absence), reinforcing the chilly, bleak mood. These environmental details serve as a backdrop to the inner storm experienced by the protagonist, whose enduring memory of the absent one is likened to a song that refuses to fade, a persistent echo in his mind.



Mi cancion de ausencia in historic Context

The year 1966, when “Mi canción de ausencia” was created, found Argentina in a period of political and social upheaval. This song, with its deep emotional pull and themes of loss, could be seen as reflecting the uncertainties and distress felt by the people during such turbulent times. It captures a personal suffering that could easily echo a broader societal sentiment, especially poignant in an era when many may have felt ‘abandoned’ by a rapidly changing, often harsh political landscape. The melancholic tone and focus on individual loneliness within this societal context enhance the song’s emotional depth and its resonance with the listening public.



Roberto Lambertucci

Roberto Lambertucci was a notable figure in tango music, known for his deep, expressive lyrics that often touched on themes of love, loss, and nostalgia. His work remains influential in the realm of Argentine tango.
