No no llores más is a Tango written by Reinaldo Yiso and composed by Ángel Cabral.
In “No no llores más,” Reinaldo Yiso weaves a tale of an ardent and beleaguered love, beset by societal gossip and malice. The lyrics depict a relationship under scrutiny, where the external world harshly judges the sincerity and integrity of the bond between the lovers. Yiso narrates from the perspective of one lover consoling the other, pleading for them not to cry and assuring them of unwavering devotion despite the rumors that aim to taint their relationship.
The recurring symbol in the song is tears (“No llores más” translates to “Do not cry anymore”), reflecting pain and sadness caused by external judgment. Tears here are a response to the cruel gossip but are also used by Yiso to elicit a plea for strength and resilience in the face of adversity. The heart is symbolically “opened” to reveal the truth of the lover’s feelings, emphasizing sincerity and depth of commitment that stands in contrast to the superficiality of societal views.
Recorded in 1958, a time of deep social and political change in Argentina, “No no llores más” reflects a society grappling with modernity and the traditional values. This period was marked by Peronism and its aftermath, which influenced the arts including tango. Tangos of this era often addressed themes of love, betrayal, and social strife. Yiso’s lyrics can be seen as a metaphor for larger societal conditions—where the truth is often obscured by rumors and where emotional sincerity struggles against societal cynicism.
Reinaldo Yiso was a prolific Argentine lyricist known for his significant contributions to the Tango genre.
