Letra del Tango Oración rante

A tus pies, de rodillas, Dios santo,
este reo te da el corazón.
Nunca supe rezar ni un cachito,
pero vengo a pedirte un favor.
Se me muere mi pobre viejita,
sólo ella me queda, sabés.
Me dijeron que vos sos muy bueno
y que muchos milagros hacés.

Escuchame, Padre Nuestro,
mi viejita se muere,
todos los reos te quieren,
aunque no sepan rezar.
Los muchachos de la barra
están rodeando mi vieja
y compartiendo mi queja,
todos te piden piedad.

Siempre llevo en mi pecho colgada
la medalla en donde estás vos
y al cinchar por mi club favorito
te pedí muchas veces un gol.
Hoy llorando, te ruego, te imploro,
por mi vieja, que está en el final.
Yo por ella te entrego mi vida,
Padre Nuestro tenés que escuchar.

Si ella se salva, Dios Santo,
junto a la rante patota,
con una vela grandota
caminaré hasta Luján.
Perdoná este pobre reo
que en esta forma te reza,
pero se muere mi vieja
y me tenés que escuchar.

English lyrics of the Tango "Oración rante"

On my knees at your feet, holy God,
this sinner gives you his heart.
I never learned to pray, even a bit,
but I come to ask you a favor.
My poor old mother is dying,
she’s all I have left, you know.
They told me you are very kind
and that you perform many miracles.

Listen to me, Our Father,
my old mother is dying,
all the prisoners love you,
even if they don’t know how to pray.
The lads from the group
are surrounding my old lady
and sharing my complaint,
all of them are asking you for mercy.

I always carry around my neck
the medal where you are
and when rooting for my favorite team
I’ve often asked you for a goal.
Today, crying, I beg, I implore,
for my old lady, who’s at the end.
For her, I’d give my life,
Our Father, you have to listen.

If she is saved, Holy God,
together with the noisy crowd,
with a large candle
I will walk to Luján.
Forgive this poor sinner
who prays to you in this way,
but my old mother is dying
and you have to listen to me.

Story behind the Tango Oración Rante

The lyrics of “Oración rante” reveal a poignant plea made to a perceived divine figure by a grieving character, approaching with a mixture of desperation, repentance, and raw emotion. The central theme revolves around a man praying to save his dying mother, expressing his lack of prayer experience yet hoping for divine intervention. His emotional turmoil is amplified by the visceral imagery of the narrator kneeling, pleading for mercy, and offering his life in exchange for his mother’s wellness. His desperation leads him to promise a pilgrimage to Luján, showcasing deep-rooted cultural practices tied to faith and miracles.



Symbolism of Oración rante

Rich in symbolism, “Oración rante” portrays the narrator’s medallion as a symbol of faith that he carries with him, previously asking for minor favors, now becoming a talisman in his plea for his mother’s life. His reference to the “medalla” where a divine figure rests, along with his promise to light a large candle and walk to Luján if his prayer is answered, are rooted in Catholic practices common in Argentina. These elements foreground themes of faith, redemption, and the influence of religion in everyday life. The term “rante” generally associated with a low-class or criminal group, adds a layer of social commentary, showing the universality of faith across different social strata.



Oración rante in a historic Context

Released in 1954, “Oración rante” emerges during a period rich in political and social changes in Argentina. The 1950s were marked by the strong influence of the Catholic Church in the nation’s politics, intertwining with the ideologies of leaders like Juan Domingo Perón. This song, by humanizing the plight of an underprivileged narrator, perhaps reflects society’s values, struggles, and reliance on faith during times of distress. Moreover, the reference to his “viejita” connotes a deep familial connection, a value deeply embedded in Argentine culture.
