Letra del Tango Paciencia

Anoche, de nuevo te vieron mis ojos;
anoche, de nuevo te tuve a mi lao.
¡Pa qué te habré visto si, después de todo,
fuimos dos extraños mirando el pasao!
Ni vos sos la misma, ni yo soy el mismo.. .
¡Los años! … ¡La vida!… ¡Quién sabe lo qué!…
De una vez por todas mejor la franqueza:
yo y vos no podemos volver al ayer.

Paciencia…
La vida es así.
Quisimos juntarnos por puro egoísmo
y el mismo egoísmo nos muestra distintos.
¿Para qué fingir?
Paciencia…
La vida es así.
Ninguno es culpable, si es que hay una culpa.
Por eso, la mano que te di en silencio
no tembló al partir.

Haremos de cuenta que todo fue un sueño,
que fue una mentira habernos buscao;
así, buenamente, nos queda el consuelo
de seguir creyendo que no hemos cambiao.
Yo tengo un retrato de aquellos veinte años
cuando eras del barrio el sol familiar.
Quiero verte siempre linda como entonces:
lo que pasó anoche fue un sueño no más.

English lyrics of the Tango "Paciencia"

Last night, again my eyes saw you;
last night, again you were by my side.
Why did I see you if, after all,
we were just two strangers looking at the past?
Neither you are the same, nor am I the same…
The years! … Life! … Who knows why!…
Once and for all it’s better to be frank:
you and I can’t go back to yesterday.

Patience…
Life is like this.
We tried to come together purely out of selfishness
and the same selfishness now shows us different.
Why pretend?
Patience…
Life is like this.
No one is to blame, if there is a fault.
That’s why, the hand I gave you in silence
did not tremble as it left.

Let’s pretend it was all a dream,
that searching for each other was a lie;
so, kindly, we keep the consolation
of still believing that we haven’t changed.
I have a picture from those twenties
when you were the familiar sun of the neighborhood.
I always want to see you lovely as you were then:
what happened last night was just a dream.

Story behind the Tango Paciencia

“Paciencia” narrates a poignant reunion of past lovers who recognize that time has irreversibly changed them, making it impossible to rekindle their old romance. The encounter forces them to confront their current estrangement and the passage of time, highlighting a painful yet mature acceptance of reality. The refrain “Paciencia… La vida es así” (Patience… such is life), serves as a resigned acknowledgment of their situation, emphasizing the need for patience in facing life’s unavoidable changes.



Symbolism of Paciencia

In “Paciencia,” Gorrindo uses symbols and imagery to deepen the emotional impact. The recurrent mention of the past using phrases like “los años” (the years) and “volver al ayer” (return to yesterday) symbolizes the irreversible flow of time and its transformative effects on people and relationships. The handshake “que te di en silencio” (that I gave you in silence) symbolizes a quiet, dignified farewell, a mutual understanding of their shared but unrepeatable past. This silent handshake reflects the maturity with which both individuals accept the reality of their changed selves.



Paciencia in historic Context

Composed in 1937 by Juan D’Arienzo, “Paciencia” emerged during a time when Tango music was a pivotal part of Argentine culture, often reflecting personal stories and broader societal changes.
