Letra del Tango Nunca mas

En una noche de falsa alegría

tus ojos claros volví a recordar

y entre los tangos, el vino y la orgía,

busqué febril tu recuerdo matar.

Recordaba mi dicha sin igual

que a vos sola mi vida consagré,

pero ingrata te fuiste y en mi mal

triste y solo, cobarde, te lloré.



Eras

la ilusión de mi vida

toda

mi alegría y mi pasión.

Mala,

yo que te quise por buena

en tus dulces labios, nena,

me he quemado el corazón.

Linda,

muñequita mimosa,

siempre,

en mi corazón estás,

Nena,

acordate de la pena

que me dio tu boca, loca,

cuando dijo: ¡Nunca más!



Entre milongas y timbas, mi vida

pasando va estas horas inquietas,

de penas lleno, el alma oprimida,

pálido el rostro como una careta.

Arrepentida, nunca vuelvas, jamás

a pedir desolada mi perdón.

¡No olvides que al decirme nunca más,

me dejaste, mujer, sin corazón!…

English lyrics of the Tango "Nunca mas"

In a night of false joy
I remembered your clear eyes once more
and among the tangos, the wine, and the debauchery,
I feverishly sought to kill your memory.

I recalled my unequalled happiness
that to you alone I dedicated my life,
but ungratefully you left, and in my suffering
sad and alone, cowardly, I cried for you.

You were
the illusion of my life
entirely
my joy and my passion.
Bad,
I who loved you for being good
on your sweet lips, girl,
I scorched my heart.
Lovely,
cuddly little doll,
always,
you are in my heart,
Girl,
remember the sorrow
that your crazy mouth gave me,
when it said: Never again!

Among milongas and gambling, my life
is passing these restless hours,
full of sorrows, the soul oppressed,
face pale as a mask.
Never return, regretful, ever
to ask desolately for my forgiveness.
Do not forget that by telling me never again,
you left me, woman, heartless!…

Nunca mas by Oscar Lomuto

Nunca mas is a Tango written by Oscar Lomuto and composed by Francisco Lomuto.


Story behind the Tango Nunca mas

This poignant Tango lyric “Nunca mas” weaves the common tale of love, loss, and tragic reminiscence. The speaker recounts an evening of hollow revelry where memories of a cherished love resurface. As the melody of tangos fills the air, mingled with wine and jubilation, the speaker attempts to extinguish the vivid memories of a past love. The narrative captures a profound sense of betrayal and heartache. The repeated refrain “Nunca mas,” meaning “Never again” in English, echoes a resolute end to a tender relationship, further amplifying the motif of irrevocable loss and despair.


Symbolism of Nunca mas

The use of night as a backdrop symbolizes the concealment of true emotions under a facade of false joy, hinting at deeper, unresolved pain. The reference to “tangos” symbolizes the traditional Argentine way of expressing melancholic emotions through dance, mirroring the speaker’s internal turmoil. Wine and revelry, often symbols of escape, paradoxically intensify the speaker’s suffering, as they fail to ease his longing. The haunting words “me dejaste, mujer, sin corazón,” vividly convey the depth of emotional devastation left by the beloved, underlined by the metaphor of having one’s heart burned on the lover’s sweet lips.


Nunca mas in historic Context

Written in 1948, a period marked by significant political and social changes in Argentina, “Nunca mas” captures the personal in the universal, reflecting broader themes of disillusionment and change. Post-World War II Argentina was navigating new economic and social challenges, which may have subtly influenced Lomuto’s depiction of personal betrayal and social façades. The yearning for something lost, and the grim resolve of “never again,” could also be echoing the national sentiment of rebuilding and moving on from past hardships.
