Letra del Tango Nunca tuvo novio

Pobre solterona te has quedado

sin ilusión, sin fe…

Tu corazón de angustias se ha enfermado,

puesta de sol es hoy tu vida trunca.

Sigues como entonces, releyendo

el novelón sentimental,

en el que una niña aguarda en vano

consumida por un mal de amor.



En la soledad

de tu pieza de soltera está el dolor.

Triste realidad

es el fin de tu jornada sin amor…

Lloras y al llorar

van las lágrimas temblando tu emoción;

en las hojas de tu viejo novelón

te ves sin fuerza palpitar.

Deja de llorar

por el príncipe soñado que no fue

junto a ti a volcar

el rimero melodioso de su voz.

Tras el ventanal,

mientras pega la llovizna en el cristal

con tus ojos más nublados de dolor

soñás un paisaje de amor.



Nunca tuvo novio, ¡pobrecita!

¿Por qué el amor no fue

a su jardin humilde de muchacha

a reanimar las flores de sus años?.

¡Yo, con mi montón de desengaños

igual que vos, vivo sin luz,

sin una caricia venturosa

que haga olvidar mi cruz!

English lyrics of the Tango "Nunca tuvo novio"

Poor old maid, you’ve been left behind
without dreams, without faith…
Your heart, sick with sorrows,
now your life’s a sunset cut short.

You continue as before, re-reading
the sentimental novel,
in which a girl waits in vain,
consumed by a sickness of love.

In the solitude
of your single room lies the pain.
Sad reality
is the end of your journey without love…
You cry and as you cry
your tears tremble with emotion;
on the pages of your old novel
you feel yourself weakly pulse.
Stop crying
for the dreamed prince who never came
to pour beside you
the melodious heap of his voice.
Behind the windowpane,
as the drizzle hits the glass
with your eyes clouded more by pain,
you dream a landscape of love.

You never had a boyfriend, poor thing!
Why did love not come
to your humble girlhood garden
to revive the flowers of your youth?
I, with my heap of disappointments
just like you, live without light,
without a fortunate caress
that makes me forget my cross!

Nunca tuvo novio is a Tango written by Enrique Cadícamo and composed by Agustín Bardi.



Story behind the Tango Nunca tuvo novio

“Nunca tuvo novio” translates as “She never had a boyfriend” in English, capturing the poignant story of an aging woman who never experienced romantic love. The lyrics provide a narrative that delves into the solitude and despair of a woman’s life as she reflects on her dreams and unfulfilled desires. Through emotive language, Cadícamo draws a vivid picture of the woman’s solitude, her emotional pain, and her yearning for a love that never came.



Symbolism of Nunca tuvo novio

The lyrics of “Nunca tuvo novio” are rich with symbolism. For instance, references to “puesta de sol” (sunset) and the “jardin humilde” (humble garden) symbolize the fading beauty and neglected potential of the protagonist’s life. The “novelón sentimental” (sentimental novel) represents her escapist fantasies and craving for a love life like those found in romantic stories. The continual theme of rain beating against the window pane stands as a metaphor for the relentless passage of time and her tears over lost opportunities.



Nunca tuvo novio in historic Context

Released in 1947, “Nunca tuvo novio” reflects post-World War II sentiments prevalent in Argentina. This period marked a significant economic and social transformation, impacting individual lives and cultural expressions. The tango, being a deeply expressive form of Argentine music, captured the essence of personal and collective sentiments. In this song, Cadícamo may be tapping into the broader theme of disillusionment and the loss of youthful dreams, mirroring the societal shifts and cultural mood of the time.
