No me hablen de ella is a Tango written by Jorge Moreira and composed by Ernesto Rossi.
“No me hablen de ella,” translating to “Do not speak to me of her,” reveals the emotional depth of a man who is passionately defending his love. The lyrics, speaking of a past filled with pain and mistakes, express the protagonist’s empathy and understanding of the struggles of life. He acknowledges both his and his lover’s flawed pasts but opts to shelter their love from the judgment of others, emphasizing the sanctity and depth of their connection.
In the tango, the phrases “si vivo en sus besos un mundo mejor” (if I live in her kisses, a better world) and “las cuatro paredes que encierran mis horas son en su ternura un nido de amor” (the four walls that encircle my hours are in her tenderness a nest of love) use the imagery of confinement transformed by love into something beautiful. This symbolizes how the protagonist finds a safe haven and completeness within the relationship despite external judgments or past hardships.
Recorded in 1957, this piece emerged during a period in Argentina marked by political instability and social change. The reference to “un mundo de horror” (a world of horror) and the need to fight for a dignified life may subtly link to the struggles faced by many during this era. The tango could serve as an emotional outlet or a form of resistance to societal judgment, accentuating a deep yearning for personal redemption and the importance of love as a redemptive force.
Jorge Moreira was a notable tango lyricist whose works often reflected deep emotional and cultural themes within Argentine society.
