Letra del Tango Muchachos silencio

Muchachos silencio, murió la Cholita

La hermosa pebeta del viejo arrabal,

La que fue en el paso de su vida trunca

La reina del tango, la farra, el champán.

Aquella pebeta risueña y alegre

Que llenó de vida este viejo rincón,

Aún cuando la farra, el vicio, la orgía

No habían minado su buen corazón.



Ya no queda nada, tan sólo despojos

Restos miserables, carne de hospital,

Que hoy inanimada, sin calor, sin vida,

Tan sólo le espera, el lecho sepulcral.



Se fue de este mundo, sin haber tenido

En su vida triste, llena de dolor,

El consuelo santo de una mano amiga

La caricia pura de un sincero amor.

Por eso muchachos, disculpen si pido

Un breve silencio para recordar,

A la pobrecita que se fue del mundo

Silenciosamente, para descansar.

English lyrics of the Tango "Muchachos silencio"

Boys, silence, Cholita has died

The beautiful girl from the old neighborhood,

She who was in her truncated life

The queen of tango, the revelry, the champagne.

That cheerful and happy young girl

Who filled this old corner with life,

Even when revelry, vice, debauchery

Had not yet undermined her good heart.

Nothing is left now, only remains

Miserable leftovers, hospital flesh,

Which today, lifeless, without warmth, without life,

Only awaits the burial bed.

She left this world, never having had

In her sad life, full of pain,

The holy comfort of a friendly hand

The pure caress of sincere love.

So boys, forgive me if I ask

For a brief silence to remember,

The poor girl who left this world

Silently, to rest.

Muchachos silencio by Alberto Ramponi

Muchachos silencio is a Tango written by Alberto Ramponi and composed by Juan José Buscaglia.

Story behind the Tango Muchachos silencio

The lyric “Muchachos silencio” translates to “Boys, silence” in English, setting a solemn and respectful tone appropriate for a moment of remembrance or mourning. The tango tells the story of “la Cholita,” a once-beautiful woman from the old neighborhood who lived a life filled with tango, celebration, and despair. Despite her vibrant youth, her life was marked by vice and sorrow, and she died without ever experiencing true, sincere love or the comfort of a compassionate friend. The narrator calls for silence to honor her memory, emphasizing the quietude necessary for respect and contemplation.

Symbolism of Muchachos silencio

The symbolic use of silence in the title and the repeated requests during the tango underscores a theme of respect and remembrance for those forgotten or marginalized by society. “La hermosa pebeta del viejo arrabal” symbolizes the vibrant life that once was, and now only remains in memories. The repeated references to “el lecho sepulcral” (the sepulchral bed) emphasize the finality of death and the destitution of the forgotten. The tango also highlights societal neglect of individuals suffering through hardship, represented by Cholita’s tragic life and loneness.

Muchachos silencio in historic Context

Recorded in 1953, “Muchachos silencio” emerges during a period where tango was intertwined deeply with the cultural fabric of Argentina, often reflecting the socio-economic conditions of its people. The tango became a method for expressing deep emotional and social truths. In post-war Argentina, themes of loss, nostalgia, and societal reflection were common. This piece eloquently reflects on themes of decay, mourning, and societal neglect through the personal story of Cholita, whose life and death metaphorically represent the overlooked and underprivileged segments of society.
