Letra del Tango Moneda sin valor

No me da vergüenza decirlo

Que te quise con pasión,

Que con tus mentiras, pagaste

Tan sagrado y puro amor.



No puedo negarte, que fuiste

Para mí, esperanza y sol,

Pero hoy el mal de ausencia

No golpea ya mi corazón.



Moneda de oro fue mi cariño

Oro puro, fue mi amor,

Moneda falsa fueron tus besos

Que mataron mi ilusión.



Pero la vida, siempre se cobra

Con monedas de dolor,

Serán llantos en el tiempo

El que te dirá quién sos.



Moneda de oro fue mi cariño

Moneda sin valor, tu amor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Moneda sin valor"

I’m not ashamed to say it,

That I loved you passionately,

That with your lies, you repaid

Such sacred and pure love.

I cannot deny that you were

For me, hope and sunlight,

But now, the pain of absence

No longer beats upon my heart.

My affection was a gold coin

Pure gold, was my love,

Your kisses were counterfeit coins

That killed my dreams.

But life, always extracts a toll

With coins of pain,

It will be tears over time

That will tell you who you are.

My affection was a gold coin

Your love, a coin without value.

Story behind the Tango Moneda sin valor

The tango “Moneda sin valor” presents a narrative of unreturned love and deceit. The narrator reflects with bitterness and disillusionment about a deep passion experienced, which was repaid with lies. The metaphor of contrast between valuable and worthless currency portrays the disparity between the narrator’s genuine affection and the partner’s feigned love.



Symbolism of Moneda sin valor

The repeated metaphor of monetary value in “Moneda sin valor” forms a poignant layer of symbolism, emphasizing the themes of value and betrayal. Terms like “Moneda de oro fue mi cariño” (My love was a gold coin) and “Moneda falsa fueron tus besos” (Your kisses were counterfeit coins) use the imagery of currency to denote the purity and worth of the narrator’s love against the deceitful nature of the partner’s affection. This monetary imagery effectively communicates the depth of emotional investment and the harsh realization of its futility.



Moneda sin valor in historic Context

“Moneda sin valor” was created in Argentina in 1958, a period of political and economic instability in the country. This context may mirror the themes of trust and disillusionment in the tango. The social backdrop likely heightened the song’s emotional resonance, as the public grappled with uncertainties and betrayals at a national level, paralleling personal emotional betrayals depicted in the tango.
