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, my eyes saw you again;
last night, I had you by my side once more.
Why did I see you if, after all,
we were two strangers looking at the past?
You’re not the same, nor am I the same…
The years!… Life!… Who knows what!…
Once and for all, better to be honest:
you and I cannot return to yesterday.

Patience…
Life is like that.
We tried to come together out of sheer selfishness
and the same selfishness now shows us different.
Why pretend?
Patience…
Life is like that.
No one is to blame, if there is any blame.
Therefore, the hand I gave you in silence
did not tremble as it left.

Let’s pretend that it was all a dream,
that it was a lie, having sought each other;
thus, kindly, we find the solace
of continuing to believe that we haven’t changed.
I have a portrait from those twenty years
when you were the familiar sun of the neighborhood.
I want to always see you lovely as you were then:
what happened last night was only a dream.

Story behind the Tango Paciencia

The tango “Paciencia” depicts a poignant narrative where two former lovers encounter each other after years apart. Despite the initial excitement of reconnection, they soon realize that the passage of time has altered them irreversibly. The song articulates a resigned acceptance of their changed realities and respective paths in life. It touches upon themes of time’s impact on people and relationships, unfulfilled desires, and the painful, yet necessary, acceptance of reality.



Symbolism of Paciencia

The title “Paciencia,” meaning “patience” in English, symbolizes the necessity of acceptance and endurance amid life’s inevitable changes. The recurring use of phrases like “Paciencia… La vida es así” emphasizes the stoic acknowledgment that life flows inherently beyond our control, and we must sometimes accept things as they are, even when they do not align with our wishes or past experiences. Additionally, the imagery of grasping hands “que te di en silencio” (that I gave you in silence) symbolizes a poignant, unspoken understanding and farewell, a gesture that conveys deep emotions without the need for words.



Paciencia in historic Context

Although recorded in 2015, “Paciencia” deeply resonates with the traditional essence of tango, which often explores themes of nostalgia, loss, and existential reflection. Tango has historically served as a reflective mirror to the societal changes and emotional undercurrents of Argentine culture. In this context, the song might be seen as a modern reflection on personal and collective experiences of change, reminiscing about simpler times, yet acknowledging the inevitabilities of present and future environments.
