Letra del Tango No me pregunten por qué

¡Muchachos!…
Si cualquiera de estas noches
me ven llegar al café,
tambalenado medio ‘colo’
babeando y hablando solo,
¡no me pregunten por qué!

Borracho…
Con la melena revuelta,
la corbata floja y suelta
y con rencor al mirar,
no me pregunten, muchachos,
por qué he venido borracho
y de mi tengan piedad.

En la luz de unos ojos divinos
se embriagaba mi alma y mi fe
y en la copa de miel sus labios
hasta ayer de pasión me embriagué.
Hoy que vivo de nuevo en tinieblas
añorando la luz de su amor
necesito hundir mi existencia
y es por eso que busco el alcohol.

¡Muchachos!…
Si cualquiera de estas noches
me ven llegar al café
tambaleando medio ‘colo’
babeando y hablando solo
¡no me pregunten por qué!

Borracho…
Refugiado en el alivio
del brebaje dulce y tibio
que nos prodiga el licor.
tal vez me olvide de aquella
que hasta ayer fuera mi estrella
y hoy me mata de dolor.

English lyrics of the Tango "No me pregunten por qué"

Boys!…
If any of these nights
you see me arrive at the cafe,
stumbling half ‘tipsy’
drooling and talking to myself,
don’t ask me why!

Drunk…
With disheveled hair,
a loose and open tie
and with resentment in my eyes,
don’t ask me, boys,
why I’ve come drunk
and have pity on me.

In the light of divine eyes
my soul and faith were intoxicated
and in the honey cup of her lips,
until yesterday, with passion I was drunk.
Today, living again in darkness
yearning for the light of her love,
I need to drown my existence
and that’s why I seek alcohol.

Boys!…
If any of these nights
you see me arrive at the cafe
stumbling half ‘tipsy’
drooling and talking to myself,
don’t ask me why!

Drunk…
Seeking refuge in the comfort
of the sweet and warm brew
that liquor provides us.
perhaps I’ll forget about her,
who until yesterday was my star,
and today kills me with pain.

Story behind the Tango No me pregunten por qué

The tango “No me pregunten por qué” spins the tale of a heartbroken soul seeking refuge in the solitude of alcohol to escape the immense emotional pain caused by a lost love. The imagery of the narrator stumbling into a café, visibly drunk and disheveled, immediately sets the tone of despair and surrender to melancholy. The repeated plea for understanding without questioning indicates a yearning for empathy without judgment from those witnessing the unraveling.

Symbolism of No me pregunten por qué

The song is steeped in symbolism, painting a vivid picture of emotional turmoil through descriptive language. Phrases like “si me ven llegar tambalenado medio ‘colo'” and “babeando y hablando solo” evoke a sense of vulnerability, reflecting the inner chaos and longing. The “luz de unos ojos divinos” symbolizes the love that once illuminated the narrator’s life, providing a stark contrast to the “tinieblas” or darkness he now inhabits. The act of seeking solace in alcohol is depicted not merely as a vice but as a desperate attempt to erase memories of a beloved who was once his guiding star but now only inflicts pain.

No me pregunten por qué in historic Context

Set in Buenos Aires in 1953, this tango is a product of its time, when the city was a hub of cultural expression through tango music. Buenos Aires, with its bustling cafés and vibrant yet often turbulent streets, forms the backdrop of many tangos that explore themes of love, heartbreak, and existential struggle. The post-war era in Argentina was marked by social and economic challenges, adding layers of depth to the personal anguish depicted in the lyrics. The café, a quintessential gathering place in Argentine culture, serves as a sanctuary yet also a witness to the raw honesty of human emotion.

Carlos di Sarli was a prominent Argentine pianist, composer, and orchestra leader, known for his influential contributions to Tango music, especially during the golden age of tango. His compositions are celebrated for their melodic richness and emotive power.
