Letra del Tango No te apures Carablanca

No te apures, Carablanca
Que no tengo quien me espere,
Nadie extraña mi retardo
Para mí siempre es temprano
Para llegar.
No te apures, Carablanca
Que al llegar me quedo solo,
Y la noche va cayendo
Y en las sombras los recuerdos
Lastiman más.

Me achica el corazón
Salir del corralón
Porque me sé perdido.
Me tienta la ilusión
Que ofrece el bodegón
Con su copa de olvido.
Caña en la pena
Llama que me abrasa,
Mal que no remedia
Pena que se agranda.
Siempre lo mismo:
Voy, para olvidarla
Y entre caña y caña
La recuerdo más.

No te apures, Carablanca
Que aquí arriba del pescante,
Mientras ando traqueteando
Voy soñando, como cuando
La conocí.
No te apures, Carablanca
Que no tengo quien me espere,
Como entonces, cuando iba
Compadreando la alegría
De ser feliz.

English lyrics of the Tango "No te apures Carablanca"

Don’t hurry, Paleface
I have no one waiting for me,
No one misses my delay
For me, it’s always early
To arrive.
Don’t hurry, Paleface
Because when I get there, I’m alone,
And as the night falls,
Memories hurt more in the shadows.

My heart shrinks
Leaving the yard
Because I know I’m lost.
Illusion tempts me
Offered by the tavern
With its glass of forgetting.
Rum in my sorrow,
Flame that scorches me,
Evil without remedy
Pain that grows.
Always the same:
I go, to forget her
And between drinks
I remember her more.

Don’t hurry, Paleface
Up here on the coachman’s seat,
While I rattle along
I dream, like when
I met her.
Don’t hurry, Paleface
I have no one waiting for me,
Like back then, when I went
Sharing the joy
Of being happy.

Story behind the Tango No te apures Carablanca

The Tango “No te apures Carablanca” portrays a poignant narrative of solitude and unrequited emotions. The protagonist requests his horse, affectionately named Carablanca, to not hurry, as there is no one waiting for him. The repeated phrase “Que no tengo quien me espere” signifies deep loneliness, encapsulating a journey of painful introspection rather than a physical one. The setting sun and the enveloping night represent the increasing weight of memories that haunt him more strongly in the darkness.



Symbolism of No te apures Carablanca

The song utilizes powerful symbolism related to the passage of time and memory. Carablanca, the white-faced horse, serves not only as a literal companion but also as a confidant to whom the singer relates his melancholic tale. The twilight and shadows symbolize the escalation of emotional pain and past memories that become more pronounced as day turns into night. References to the ‘bodegón’ (tavern) and ‘caña’ (a type of alcoholic drink) indicate attempts to drown his sorrows and forget, yet this very act of drinking to forget only strengthens his memories of a happier past.



No te apures Carablanca in historic Context

Recorded in 1942 in Argentina, “No te apures Carablanca” emerged during a period of political and social tension in the country that undoubtedly influenced its themes of despair and loneliness. During this time, tango often reflected the collective emotional and social experiences of Argentinians. The song captures not just personal agony but resonates with the broader feeling of melancholia that pervaded society, marked by instability and the foreboding sense of loss.
