Letra del Tango Miedo (2)

De todas las valentías

Que el coraje supo darme,

Confieso mi cobardía

Nunca quise enamorarme.

Tuve miedo al metejón,

Que pagaran con traición

La fe que se da por nada.

No quise que al corazón

Le hicieran falsa jugada.



Miedo…

Tuve miedo de encontrarla.

Miedo…

De rendirme o de llorarla.

Miedo de entregarme maniatado,

De vivir arrodillado

Implorante y humillado.



Miedo…

De perderme en otro mundo.

Miedo…

Al despertar de un sueño absurdo,

Con la desazón de aquel que mira

Marchitarse la mentira

De una ilusión.



Apareciste en mi vida

Disfrazada de verdad,

Y en la prisión de tus ojos

Encerré mi libertad.

Para qué sirvió el error

De creer en el amor

Y endiosar una quimera.

Hoy me dejaste: estoy ciego

Y en la calle es primavera.

English lyrics of the Tango "Miedo (2)"

Of all the braveness

That courage could afford me,

I confess my cowardice

I never wanted to fall in love.

I feared the sudden fall,

That they’d repay with betrayal

The faith given freely.

I did not want the heart

To suffer from deceit.

Fear…

I was afraid to find her.

Fear…

To surrender or mourn her.

Afraid of being bound in surrender,

Of living kneeling down

Begging and humiliated.

Fear…

Of losing myself in another world.

Fear…

Of waking from an absurd dream,

With the frustration of one who sees

The wilted lie

Of an illusion.

You appeared in my life

Disguised as truth,

And in the prison of your eyes

I locked up my freedom.

What was the point of the mistake

Of believing in love

And deifying a fantasy.

Today you left me: I am blind

And it’s springtime in the street.

Story behind the Tango Miedo (2)

“Miedo (2)” translates to “Fear (2)” in English, revealing a deep exploration into the vulnerability and trepidation surrounding love and trust. The lyrics speak of a person who, despite having braved various challenges, confesses his fear of falling in love. This fear stems from the anxiety of being betrayed after giving one’s trust freely and unconditionally to another. The narrative progresses to describe the singer’s ultimate capitulation to love, only to find himself deceived and alone, his illusions withered with the advent of spring.


Symbolism of Miedo (2)

The song utilizes vivid symbolism to emphasize the internal conflicts and emotional turmoil the protagonist endures. Key phrases like “la prisión de tus ojos” (the prison of your eyes) illustrate the sense of entrapment felt by falling in love, suggesting love as both captivating and constraining. Similarly, “marchitarse la mentira de una ilusión” (the lie of an illusion withers) conveys the grim realization of betrayed expectations, spotlighting the heartbreaking disintegration of what was once a cherished dream.


Miedo (2) in Historic Context

Recorded in 1966, “Miedo (2)” was created during a period of significant social and political unrest in Argentina. This environment may have influenced its themes of distrust and disillusionment. In a time when many felt uncertainty and skepticism towards authoritative figures and institutions, these sentiments could easily translate to personal relationships, encapsulating the fears of deception and the pain of disillusionment that pervade the lyrics.
