Letra del Tango Pasión

Yo sé que siempre es un dolor
El recuerdo de amor
De una mujer fatal.
Pero no puedo, pensar en ella,
Sin que mis ojos
Vuelvan a llorar.

Al fin habré de sucumbir,
Porque es grande mi mal
E inmensa mi pasión.
Pero qué importa, al mundo, un hombre,
Sólo mi madre
Por mí ha de sufrir.

English lyrics of the Tango "Pasión"

I know that remembering love
Is always a pain
Of a fatal woman.
But I can’t think of her,
Without my eyes
Starting to cry again.

In the end, I must succumb,
For my pain is great
And my passion immense.
But what does it matter, to the world, a man,
Only my mother
Will suffer for me.

Story behind the Tango Pasión

The lyrics of “Pasión” reveal a poignant narrative of heartache and longing. The speaker reflects on the inescapable pain tied to memories of a past love, depicted as a “fatal woman.” These verses delve deep into the emotional turmoil faced when one cannot help but mourn a lost love, despite the suffering it brings. The narrative of inability to forget, along with the profound impact on the speaker’s life, leading him to foresee his inevitable defeat to his sorrows, portrays a dramatic and intense story of passion and despair.


Symbolism of Pasión

Significant symbolism surfaces through the use of expressions like “fatal woman” and “inmensa mi pasión,” which might allude to a destructive yet deep love that dominates the speaker’s life. José María Rizzuti uses “fatal,” hinting at something disastrously influential, paralleling the devastating effect this woman has had on his life. Moreover, the reference to the speaker’s mother as the only one who will suffer for him elevates the theme of inevitable solitude and personal affliction, emphasizing the isolation brought about by his passion.
