Letra del Tango Paciencia

Al maestro más maestro, al señor de la batuta,

A quien todos con justicia llaman hoy “Rey del compás”,

Por su ritmo bien porteño, porque siempre está latente

En el alma de la gente que lo sabe valorar.



Al campeón del dos por cuatro, que no sabe de renuncios

Porque siempre está en la brecha, defendiendo con afán,

A la música porteña, que es el alma de este pueblo

Que lo aclama con cariño, como a un héroe nacional.



Juan D´Arienzo…

Sos del tango milonguero

Alma, nervio y corazón.

Juan D´Arienzo…

Merecés un monumento,

Como símbolo de un pueblo

Que te aclama con fervor.



Juan D’Arienzo…

Hoy tu nombre es un emblema

De trabajo y emoción.

Sos la lámpara votiva

De la lírica tanguera,

Por tu hombría, por tu clase

Tu nobleza y corazón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Paciencia"

To the grandest master, the lord of the baton,
To whom all rightly call today “King of Beat,”
For his rhythm so porteño, always pulsating
In the souls of those who truly appreciate him.

To the champion of the two by four, who knows no surrender,
Always in the fray, zealously defending
The music of Buenos Aires, the soul of this people
Who adore him with affection, like a national hero.

Juan D’Arienzo…
You’re of the milonguero tango,
Soul, nerve, and heart.
Juan D’Arienzo…
You deserve a monument,
As a symbol of a people
Who acclaim you fervently.

Juan D’Arienzo…
Today your name is a symbol
Of labor and passion.
You are the votive lamp
Of tango lyricism,
For your manliness, for your class,
Your nobility and heart.

Story behind the Tango Paciencia

The tango “Paciencia” revolves around the illustrious figure Juan D’Arienzo, famously known as the “King of the Beat”. The poetic narrative venerates him as a master conductor and an influential personality in the realm of Tango. Polito’s homage transcends ordinary acclaim, portraying D’Arienzo as a tireless defender and promoter of the traditional music of Buenos Aires, eternally resonant in the hearts of his people.



Symbolism of Paciencia

Polito interweaves deep symbolism within “Paciencia,” referring to D’Arienzo as the “lamp of lyrical tango,” capturing his enduring influence and unceasing passion. This metaphor not only elevates D’Arienzo’s status but also highlights the eternal light he casts on the genre, inspiring future generations. The word “paciencia” itself, meaning “patience” in English, encapsulates an essential virtue of perseverance and enduring commitment, likely reflecting D’Arienzo’s approach towards his career and life.



Paciencia in historic Context

Recorded in 1970 in Argentina, “Paciencia” emerged during a time of significant social and political changes. This period shaped the song’s tone and message, imbuing it with a sense of resilience and nostalgia for the traditional roots of Argentine culture, which D’Arienzo profoundly symbolized. His contributions during such transformative times undoubtedly fortified the emotional tethering of Tango with the Argentine identity, a narrative Polito eloquently enhances in his tribute.
