Letra del Tango No tienes corazón

Eres como un sueño sin final,
Que no tuvo despertar
Y acaso no tendrá.
Voz de un violín sentimental,
Entre el humo de aquel bar
Donde te vi asomar.

Sé que alguna vez
Te volveré a encontrar,
Sombras que a cien puertos
Va arrastrando mi vida.
En Buenos Aires o en Shangai,
Entre el humo de algún bar
Te miraré asomar.

Desde aquella noche
Para siempre te amé,
Desde aquella noche
En el bar del “vienés”.

Siempre que un violín
Con su voz sutil,
Te envuelve en su emoción.
El momento aquel,
En que te encontré
Ronda mi evocación.

Desde aquella noche
Nunca te olvidaré,
Desde aquella noche, iMi amor!,
En el bar del “vienés”…

English lyrics of the Tango "No tienes corazón"

You’re like a dream without end,
That never awoke
And perhaps never will.
Voice of a sentimental violin,
Among the smoke of that bar
Where I saw you appear.

I know that someday
I will meet you again,
Shadows that a hundred ports
Drag through my life.
In Buenos Aires or in Shanghai,
Among the smoke of some bar
I will see you appear.

Since that night
I have loved you forever,
Since that night
In the “Viennese” bar.

Every time a violin
With its subtle voice,
Wraps you in its emotion.
That moment,
When I found you
Haunts my recollection.

Since that night
I will never forget you,
Since that night, my love!
In the bar of the “Viennese”…

Story behind the Tango No tienes corazón

The lyrics of “No tienes corazón” reflect a deep-seated romantic longing mixed with an air of melancholy. The narrator describes a love that is akin to a dream without an end, elusive and persisting. This stirring portrayal of an unending dream encapsulates the heartbreak of a love that couldn’t blossom into reality but continues to linger in memory. The recounting of their meeting in a bar is tinged with nostalgia, symbolizing a moment frozen in time when the narrator’s heart was irrevocably touched.



Symbolism of No tienes corazón

Symbolism in this tango is rich and layered, utilizing imagery like the “voz de un violín sentimental” and the smoke-filled bar setting to evoke a sense of emotional depth and bitterness. The violin symbolizes the melodious yet heart-wrenching reminder of the lost love, often stirring the narrator’s heart with its “sutil” voice. The smoky bar setting serves as a gateway to the past, a place where the narrator hopes to encounter the ghost of lost love across different ports of life, whether it be “Buenos Aires or in Shanghai,” highlighting the universal and timeless nature of his sentiments.



No tienes corazón in historic Context

Released in 1946, a period marked by post-WWII reevaluation of societal norms and personal narratives, “No tienes corazón” finds its place in a world recovering from chaos and seeking personal connections. Argentina in the mid-20th century was undergoing significant changes politically and socially, influencing expressive forms like Tango to incorporate broader, more introspective themes. The lyric’s retrospective theme and its articulation of enduring love and melancholy echo the sentiments of a generation coping with the aftermath of global conflict and the resultant personal and collective losses.
