Pa’ mí es igual (Siempre amigos) is a Tango written by Enrique Cadícamo, Agustín Irusta and composed by Roberto Fugazot.
This Tango narrates a poignant reunion of two old friends who have been estranged for a decade due to a past conflict over love. The lyrics unfold as a dialogue where one friend encourages the other to reconcile and forget past grievances, emphasizing the brevity of life and the stark reality of aging. The recent passing of one’s mother, cherished by both, becomes the catalyst for their reunion, urging reflection on true values beyond past conflicts.
The Tango is laden with symbolism that underscores the themes of forgiveness, the inevitability of death, and the passage of time. Key phrases such as “dame tu mano, machucá la mía” symbolize a renewal of friendship through shared pain. The mention of “total, por unas trenzas y una boca más roja que la sangre” metaphorically alludes to a past romantic dispute that once seemed significant but pales in comparison to the universal experiences of loss and aging, as conveyed through “esas canas que hoy cinchan la vejez.”
Recorded in Argentina in 1952, a period marked by political and social turmoil, this Tango might reflect a broader cultural sentiment of nostalgia and longing for reconciliation in a divided society. It reflects the Argentine ethos of the mid-20th century, where personal relationships and communal ties were crucial in a landscape marked by frequent changes and uncertainties.
Enrique Cadícamo was a renowned Argentine lyricist and poet, known for his significant contributions to the Tango genre. Agustín Irusta, collaborating in this piece, was an accomplished Tango singer and musician, together creating enduring pieces that resonate with emotional depth and cultural relevance.
