Letra del Tango Mi sentencia

Desnuda, como el filo de un acero, así,

desnuda, mi sentencia que se clava en ti.

Me llevabas de la mano para hundirme en este infierno

para verme sin sentido, sin moral, sin nada adentro.

Pero ahora te condeno, ¡maldita!

Cuando escuches mi sentencia

martillando tu conciencia

sufrirás igual que yo.



Por un beso de tu boca la luna corté,

por un mundo de tristezas

que me daba tu belleza

hasta el nombre te entregué.

Yo te he dado más que eso

mi alma, tal vez.

Y hoy al verme pisoteado como un vil,

como un malvado, me rebelé.



Desnuda, como el alma que se acerca a Dios.

Desnuda, la sentencia que firmé por vos.

Que la herida que me abriste no se borre de tu mente

y las gotas de mi sangre día y noche te atormenten

hasta siempre, hasta la muerte.

Maldita, cuando escuches mi sentencia

martillando tu conciencia

morirás igual que yo.

English lyrics of the Tango "Mi sentencia"

Naked, like the edge of a steel blade, so,
naked, my verdict that pierces into you.
You held my hand to plunge me into this hell,
to see me senseless, without morals, with nothing inside.
But now I condemn you, damned!
When you hear my verdict
hammering your conscience,
you will suffer just like me.

For a kiss from your lips, I cut the moon,
for a world of sorrows
that your beauty gave me,
I even handed over my name.
I have given you more than that,
my soul, perhaps.
And today, seeing myself trampled like a wretch,
like a villain, I rebelled.

Naked, as the soul that approaches God.
Naked, the verdict I signed for you.
May the wound you opened in me not erase from your mind,
and may the drops of my blood torment you day and night
forever, until death.
Damned, when you hear my verdict
hammering your conscience,
you will die just like me.

Story behind the Tango Mi sentencia

The Tango “Mi sentencia” translates to “My Sentence” in English, shedding light on the themes of judgment, condemnation, and emotional suffering. The lyrics poetically narrate a tale of betrayal and deep emotional pain. The speaker reflects on being led deceitfully into a ‘hell,’ portraying a loss of sense, morals, and inner emptiness. This dramatic story of betrayal and retribution is common in Tango, often reflecting the intense personal and social conflicts experienced by individuals.

Symbolism of Mi sentencia

“Mi sentencia” uses powerful imagery to enhance the emotional depth of the lyrics. The recurring symbol of being ‘naked,’ compared to the sharp edge of steel, suggests vulnerability and the harshness of truth and judgment. The song’s title itself, “Mi sentencia,” symbolizes a final verdict, one that resonates with irreversible force throughout someone’s life. The line “me rebelé” highlights the turning point where the narrator refuses to be a victim any longer, symbolizing resistance and reclaiming of self.
