Letra del Tango Nada más

No quiero nada, nada más
que no me dejes, frente a frente, con la vida.
Me moriré si me dejás
por que sin vos no he de saber vivir.

Y no te pido más que eso,
que no me dejes sucumbir,
te lo suplico por Dios
no me quites el calor
de tu cariño y tus besos,
que, si me falta la luz
de tu mirar, que es mi sol,
será mi vida una cruz.

Cuánta nieve habrá en mi vida
sin el fuego de tus ojos!
Y mi alma, ya perdida,
sangrando por la herida,
se dejará morir,
y en la cruz de mis anhelos
llenaré de brumas mi alma,
morirá el azul del cielo,
sobre mi desvelo
viéndote partir.

No quiero nada, nada más
que la mentira de tu amor, como limosna.
¿Qué voy a hacer si me dejás
con el vacío de mi decepción?
No te vayas te lo ruego,
no destroces mi corazón,
si no lo hacés por amor
hacelo por compasión
pero por Dios no me dejés
jamás te molestaré,
seré una sombra a tus pies,
tirada en algún rincón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Nada más"

I want nothing, nothing more
than for you not to leave me, face to face with life.
I will die if you leave me
because without you I won’t know how to live.

And I ask for nothing more than that,
do not let me succumb,
I beg you by God
do not take away the warmth
of your affection and your kisses,
for, if I lack the light
of your eyes, which are my sun,
my life will be a cross.

How much snow will there be in my life
without the fire of your eyes!
And my soul, already lost,
bleeding from the wound,
will let itself die,
and on the cross of my dreams
I will fill my soul with mists,
the blue of the sky will die,
over my sleeplessness
watching you leave.

I want nothing, nothing more
than the lie of your love, as alms.
What will I do if you leave me
with the emptiness of my disappointment?
Do not go I beg you,
do not shatter my heart,
if not for love
do it for compassion
but for God’s sake do not leave me
I will never bother you,
I will be a shadow at your feet,
thrown in some corner.

Story behind the Tango Nada más

The lyrics of “Nada más” poignantly express a desperate plea from the narrator to their beloved not to abandon them. The theme revolves around an intense fear of solitude and the existential dread that comes with losing a loved one. It reflects the personal torment and emotional vulnerability of feeling incomplete without the partner’s affection. Through this tango, Rubistein crafts a narrative that captures the all-consuming nature of such emotional dependency.



Symbolism of Nada más

Luis Rubistein employs profound symbolism reflecting desolation and hopelessness. Phrases like “la luz de tu mirar, que es mi sol” (the light of your gaze, which is my sun) symbolize how the beloved’s presence acts as a life-giving force, essentials for survival. Similarly, “llenaré de brumas mi alma” (I will fill my soul with mists) and “morirá el azul del cielo” (the blue of the sky will die) symbolize the overwhelming darkness and despair that will envelop the narrator’s life in the absence of their loved one. These metaphors beautifully amplify the emotional stakes involved in the narrative of the song.



Nada más in historic Context

“Nada más” was created in 1971 by Luis Rubistein in Argentina, a period characterized by political unrest and societal shifts. This historical backdrop might have influenced the somber tone and themes of abandonment and despair prevalent in the song. Argentine tangos of this era often reflected personal narratives against the backdrop of broader societal anxiety, sublimating the collective experience into individual stories of love and loss.
