Letra del Tango No me escribas

No me escribas, yo prefiero no tener noticias tuyas.
Tengo miedo, mucho miedo que tus cartas me hagan mal;
que me digan algún día que de mí te has olvidado
y tus besos y caricias pertenecen a un rival.
No sabés lo que he sufrido desde el día que te fuiste
cuando vi que ya no estabas y que solo me encontré.
Tuve rabia, tuve pena, no sé lo que hubiera hecho
y esa noche, de tristeza y dolor me emborraché.

Desde entonces he intentado deshacerme ‘e tu recuerdo,
arrancarte de mi pecho, matar este metejón,
pero inútil, porque cuanto hacía más para olvidarte
como grampa te clavabas en mi pobre corazón.
He llenado las paredes del bulín con tus retratos,
y tus cartas, las primeras, las que me sabías mandar
otros tiempos, las conservo, porque en ellas me decías
que jamás de mi cariño vos te irías a olvidar.

No me escribas, yo prefiero no tener noticias tuyas,
tengo miedo, mucho miedo que tus cartas me hagan mal,
que me digan algún día que de mí te has olvidado
y tus besos y caricias pertenecen a un rival.
Ayer tarde, en el momento que más triste me encontraba
añorando tus recuerdos una carta recibí:
cuando vi que era tu letra tuve miedo de leerla
y temblando, sin haber abierto el sobre, la rompí.

English lyrics of the Tango "No me escribas"

Don’t write to me; I’d rather not hear any news from you.
I’m afraid, so afraid that your letters will hurt me;
that they might tell me one day you’ve forgotten about me
and your kisses and caresses belong to another.

You don’t know how much I’ve suffered since the day you left
when I realized you were gone, and I was left alone.
I felt rage, I felt sorrow, I don’t know what I would have done,
and that night, in sadness and pain, I got drunk.

Since then, I’ve tried to rid myself of your memory,
to tear you out of my chest, to kill this deep affection,
but in vain, because the more I tried to forget you,
like a nail, you dug deep into my poor heart.
I’ve filled the walls of my tiny room with your portraits,
and your letters – the first ones you used to send me
in other times, I keep them because in them you told me
that you would never forget my love.

Don’t write to me; I’d rather not hear any news from you,
I’m afraid, so afraid that your letters will hurt me,
that they might tell me one day you’ve forgotten about me
and your kisses and caresses belong to another.
Yesterday evening, when I was at my saddest,
longing for your memories, I received a letter:
when I saw it was your handwriting, I was scared to read it
and trembling, without opening the envelope, I tore it apart.

Story behind the Tango No me escribas

“No me escribas,” which translates to “Do not write to me” in English, poignantly expresses the pain and inner turmoil of a lover who prefers to remain ignorant rather than learn of their beloved’s forgetfulness or infidelity. The lyrics reveal a deep fear and vulnerability, as the person fears that any news might confirm their worst nightmares—that their affection is no longer reciprocated, and that their former lover now shares what once was exclusive with someone else. In an act of protecting themselves from further hurt, the speaker has chosen the tough path of silence over the potential agony that words might disclose.



Symbolism of No me escribas

The repeated phrase “No me escribas” symbolizes self-preservation and a fearful heart’s plea to avoid further suffering. Letters, a symbol of distant communication and remnants of a past relationship, are portrayed as potential weapons that could harm the heart. The act of tearing up the letter without reading it further emphasizes the person’s desperation and fragility, portraying a poignant picture of someone breaking away from the bindings of the past memories to protect their emotional wellbeing. Each reference to letters, memories, and photographs marks the deep scars left by the separation, underscoring the bitter struggle to move on.



No me escribas in historic Context

Recorded in 1946, a time when Argentina was undergoing significant social and political transitions, “No me escribas” reflects a personal and collective sense of loss and disillusionment. Post World War II era was a time of deep reflection and shifting societal norms, and this tango could be seen as an emblem of personal heartbreak mirroring the overarching national sentiments of regret and change. In a way, the tango acts as a cathartic expression for many who were trying to come to terms with the new realities of their world, both personally and culturally.
