Letra del Tango Mi distinguida pebeta

Mi distinguida pebeta
Que la vas de sociedad,
La de los ojos orientes y ardientes
Que todos quieren mirar.
La de los labios sedientos
Que todos quieren besar,
La de amoríos discretos, secretos
Que nadie nunca sabrá.

Yo conozco, muñequita
Tus costumbres y tu vida,
A la tarde por Florida
A la noche, soledad.
Como joya en un estuche
Vivís sola en tu pisito,
Sin tener un amorcito
Que te quiera de verdad.

Tus vestidos elegantes
Tu perfume, tu belleza,
Disimulan la tristeza
Que te embarga el corazón.
Vos cambiaste los anillos
Por un piso muy flamante,
Un magnifico brillante
Y un tapado de visón.

Mi distinguida pebeta
Escuchá, te quiero hablar,
Cambiá tu esplendida vida, aburrida,
Por otra más natural.
Buscate un cuarto barato
Y tu brillante empeñá,
Busca un muchacho modesto y honesto,
Y así otra vida empezá.

English lyrics of the Tango "Mi distinguida pebeta"

My distinguished young lady
Who plays the high society card,
With eyes so exotic and passionate
That everyone wants to watch.
With lips so parched
That everyone wants to kiss,
Engaging in discreet, secret love affairs
That no one will ever know.

I know your habits, little doll,
And your life, it’s clear as day,
In the afternoon you stroll down Florida
At night, you face loneliness.
Like a jewel in a box
You live alone in your small flat,
Without a dear love
To truly care for you.

Your elegant dresses,
Your perfume, your beauty,
They all hide the sadness
That overwhelms your heart.
You traded rings
For a shiny new apartment,
A magnificent diamond
And a mink coat.

My distinguished young lady,
Listen, I want to talk to you,
Change your splendid, boring life
For one more natural.
Find yourself a cheap room
And pawn your diamond,
Look for a modest, honest boy,
And start a new life with him.

Story behind the Tango Mi distinguida pebeta

The Tango “Mi distinguida pebeta” explores the life of a woman who presents herself with high societal status and refined tastes but ultimately experiences loneliness and artificiality in her upscale lifestyle. Sanguinetti draws a vivid picture of her day-to-day life, from promenades along Florida Street to the solitude of her expensive apartment, underlining the emotional emptiness that luxurious items like mink coats and diamonds cannot fill.



Symbolism of Mi distinguida pebeta

The most striking symbols in the lyrics are the luxurious items such as “un tapado de visón” (a mink coat) and “un magnifico brillante” (a magnificent diamond). These objects, while denoting wealth and status, reflect deeper loneliness and a yearning for genuine human connection. Furthermore, the reference to “Florida”, a well-known shopping street in Buenos Aires, symbolizes the superficial lifestyle. This contrast is starkly depicted against the narrator’s call to embrace a more authentic, modest existence.



Mi distinguida pebeta in historic Context

Set in 1952 Argentina, a time marked by political and social shifts, “Mi distinguida pebeta” critiques the societal norms centered around materialism and superficial status. During this period, Buenos Aires was a hub of cosmopolitan culture, yet simultaneously grappling with economic disparities. This Tango, by weaving a narrative about a woman caught in this dichotomy, reflects the societal expectations for women to maintain a facade of elegance and prosperity, often at the cost of personal happiness and authenticity.
