Letra del Tango No te engañes corazón

No te dejes engañar, corazón,

por su querer, por su mentir.

No te vayas a olvidar

que es mujer y que, al nacer,

del engaño hizo un sentir.

Miente al llorar, miente al reir,

miente al sufrir y a al amar.

Miente al jurar falsa pasión,

no te engañes, corazón.



Me apena verte con ella del brazo,

si a mí me dio el esquinazo,

a vos qué no te dará.

Oíme, yo que soy tu amigo viejo

quiero darte un buen consejo,

largala y te convendrá.



Acaso te llore y se desespere

y te diga que te quiere,

viejo ardid de la mujer.

No creas que a vos sólo ha de quererte,

si juró que hasta la muerte,

solo mía había de ser.



No te dejes engañar, corazón,

por su querer, por su mentir.

No te vayas a olvidar

que fue mía y que algun día

te podés arrepentir.



Si has de llorar con gran dolor

se ha de burlar de tu amor.

No te olvidés que ella es mujer,

no te dejes convencer.



No creas que es la envidia o el despecho,

por todo el mal que me ha hecho,

que hace que yo te hable así.

Bien sabes que no hay envidia en mi pecho,

que soy un hombre derecho,

que soy como siempre fui.

English lyrics of the Tango "No te engañes corazón"

Don’t be fooled, heart,

by her love, by her lies.

Don’t forget

that she is a woman, and that at birth,

she made deceit a feeling.

She lies when she cries, lies when she laughs,

lies in suffering and in loving.

She lies when swearing false passion,

don’t be deceived, heart.

It pains me to see you with her on your arm,

if she turned her back on me,

what won’t she do to you?

Listen, I’m your old friend

and I want to give you good advice,

leave her, and you’ll be better off.

Maybe she’ll cry and despair

and tell you that she loves you,

an old trick of women.

Don’t believe that she will only love you,

if she swore that until death,

she would only be mine.

Don’t be fooled, heart,

by her love, by her lies.

Don’t forget

that she was mine, and that one day

you might regret it.

If you are to cry in great pain

she will mock your love.

Don’t forget that she is a woman,

do not be persuaded.

Don’t think it’s jealousy or spite,

for all the harm she’s done me,

that makes me speak like this.

You know well there’s no envy in my heart,

that I am an upright man,

just as I always was.

Story behind the Tango No te engañes corazón

The lyrics of “No te engañes corazón” serve as a poignant warning about the dangers of deception in love, specifically pointing to the duplicity that can be hidden beneath the surface of a partner’s affections. This Tango portrays a deep sense of betrayal and the pain of realizing that one has been deceived. The narrator of the song counsels the heart not to fall for lies and reminds it of the inherent nature of a person who once betrayed them. It’s a narrative about recognizing repetitive patterns in someone who manipulates emotions such as love and sorrow for their ends.



Symbolism of No te engañes corazón

The song uses vivid symbols of deceit and emotional manipulation. The heart, “corazón,” is personified and addressed directly, warning it about the deceptions of a woman who has mastered the art of faking emotions—from laughter to tears. Key phrases such as “Miente al llorar, miente al reir” (She lies when she cries, she lies when she laughs) emphasize the manipulative behavior of the woman, encapsulating a universal theme of mistrust and the emotional guards people put up after being hurt. The advice given showcases a protective stance, reflecting a mix of personal bitterness and genuine concern.



No te engañes corazón in historic Context

“No te engañes corazón” was recorded in 1949, a period when Tango music was widely embraced in Argentina as a reflection of the emotional and cultural narratives of its people. Post World War II, this era was marked by a mix of hope and cynicism that colored many aspects of life, including interpersonal relationships. The Tango then, especially one themed around deception and protective advice, mirrors the cautious optimism of a society rebuilding itself—wary of repeating past mistakes, whether in love, politics, or personal alliances.
