No tenemos perdón is a Tango written by Julio César and composed by Edmundo Baya.
The tango “No tenemos perdón” explores the deep anguish and conflict of forbidden love. The lyrics reveal a narrative of emotional torment where the protagonists experience an overwhelming, unsanctioned passion, poignantly communicating a sense of inevitable sin and societal transgression. Despite not physically consummating their love, the intensity of their feelings is such that they believe they have already sinned, a powerful testament to the internal strife and guilt experienced by those in forbidden circumstances.
In “No tenemos perdón,” the use of symbols such as “sangre” (blood) signifies the fervent, life-sustaining force of their emotions, emphasizing their visceral, uncontrollable nature. The repeated use of terms like “martirio” (torment) and “castigo” (punishment) reflects the lovers’ internal suffering and societal penalty for their feelings. The phrase “sin haber nuestras bocas se han besado” (though our mouths have never kissed) symbolizes the unacted, yet deeply felt desires that transcend physical actions. This understatement enhances the torment of their love, indicating a passion so profound that it exists beyond the physical realm.
The tango, crafted in 1958 Argentina, a society characterized by conservative values towards relationships and family structures, resonates with the theme of social boundaries and the consequences of crossing them. In this period, the angst reflected in the lyrics would likely resonate with many who felt bound by societal expectations yet yearned for personal fulfillment beyond those constraints. The title itself, “No tenemos perdón” (We are beyond forgiveness), emphasizes the harsh judgment they expect from society, illustrating the depth of stigma associated with defying social norms during that time.
Julio César, the lyricist, is known for his ability to express complex emotional and social themes through the poignant words of his tangos, resonating deeply with listeners and dancers alike.
