No te quiero más is a Tango written by Juan Baüer and composed by Juan Baüer.
“No te quiero más” translates to “I don’t love you anymore” in English, a direct expression of severed emotional ties. The lyrics narrate the conclusion of a relationship and the speaker’s newfound detachment and resilience. They have decided to embrace life (referred to as ‘garufa,’ a term for fun and revelry) and love anew, casting aside the pains that the previous relationship caused. This song presents a protagonist reclaiming their joy and peace, rid of the sorrow that a former lover brought into their life.
The recurring theme of moving on from past relationships is vividly portrayed. Symbolism is heavily used through phrases like “me dedico a la garufa,” suggesting the protagonist’s shift towards merriment and letting go of past burdens. Phrases like “mi felicidad ha vuelto a nacer,” symbolize rebirth and renewed joy post-heartbreak, establishing a narrative of self-restoration. The mentioning of places like cabaret implies a descent into perhaps a less wholesome lifestyle, echoing the theme of downfall and drifting to paths that could lead to eventual self-destruction.
Recorded in 1940, during a turbulent historical period for Argentina, which faced political and social upheavals, “No te quiero más” reflects personal struggles amidst larger societal issues. During this era, tango often provided an escape, discussing personal emotions and the harsh realities of life. The escapist narrative of finding solace in hedonistic pursuits like “garufa” might mirror the society’s coping mechanisms during those hard times.
Juan Baüer was an influential figure in the Tango music scene, known for his deep and evocative compositions.
