Letra del Vals Por aquí por allá

Yo ya estuve por primera vez, enamorao
Más no tuve la suerte de ser, matrimoniao,
Pero hoy tengo la firme intención
De firmar la boleta de unión.

Y aquí vengo por segunda vez
(Coro: No hay dos sin tres)
Decidido a llegar al altar
(Coro: Te vas al mar)
Si la chica, señor, tiene plata es mejor
Yo por eso no haré una cuestión.

(Coro: Che, Martín Pescador,
nos parece que vos
te conviene llamarlo al doctor).

Por aquí… por allá…
Va dejando este chico el tendal.
(Coro: Por aquí, jajaja, por allá, jejeje,
el tendal de acreedores dejás).
No hagan caso que yo
Soy el tipo ideal,
Pa´ viajar en idilio nupcial.

(Coro: No hagan caso que él
es el tipo ideal,
pa´ viajar en camión celular).

De envidiosos nomás no me creen (silbidos)
Silben, silben, que ya van a ver, (silbidos)
Por lo pronto les puedo decir
Que una viuda suspira por mí.

Y esa viuda por segunda vez
(Coro: No hay dos sin tres)
Es ricacha y se quiere casar,
(Coro: Te va a enterrar)
Ya me ha dado a entender la viudita
Que un gran automóvil me va a regalar.

(Coro: Con cuidao, con cuidao,
que la viuda al final
se te va a aparecer de verdad).

English lyrics of the Vals "Por aquí por allá"

I was in love for the first time,
Though I never got the luck to be, married,
But now I’m set with the very intention
To sign that marriage certificate.

And here I come for the second time
(Chorus: There’s no two without three)
Determined to reach the altar
(Chorus: You’re headed for the sea)
If the girl, sir, has money that’s better
I won’t make it an issue for that.

(Chorus: Hey, Kingfisher,
it seems to us
you better call the doctor).

Here… there…
This guy leaves a trail behind.
(Chorus: Over here, haha, over there, hehe,
you leave a trail of creditors).
Don’t listen to them, I
Am the ideal guy,
For a honeymoon journey.

(Chorus: Don’t listen to him,
he’s the ideal guy,
for traveling in a prison van).

Just from jealousy they won’t believe me (whistles)
Whistle, whistle, soon you will see, (whistles)
For now, I can tell you
A widow sighs for me.

And this widow, for the second time
(Chorus: There’s no two without three)
Is quite rich and wants to marry,
(Chorus: She’ll bury you)
The widow has hinted
That she’ll gift me a big car.

(Chorus: Be careful, be careful,
for in the end, that widow
will truly come for you).

Story behind the Tango Por aquí por allá

The lyrics of “Por aquí por allá” depict the life of a man who is whimsically trying to marry into wealth, not once but multiple times. His candid confessions about his intentions and failures lend a comedic, yet poignant theme to the song. The chorus adds a jocular tone by mocking his plans and foreseeing his inevitable failure. This narrative structure accentuates the tragicomic aspect of the protagonist’s quest, reflecting themes of aspiration and disillusionment.



Symbolism of Por aquí por allá

The repetitive mention of “Por aquí… por allá…” symbolizes the protagonist’s aimless wandering in search of a desirable match, hinting at his lack of a clear direction in life. The phrase “te vas al mar,” which translates to “you’re going to the sea,” might imply entering into unknown or turbulent territories, reflecting his reckless pursuits. Furthermore, the mention of an automobile gift from a widow hints at the man’s superficial priorities, using symbolic materialism to critique societal values.



Por aquí por allá in historic Context

The song was recorded in 1940, a time when Tango music often reflected the social and economic sentiments of Argentinian society. The setting of Argentina and the period of the early 20th century contribute to the themes of romantic and financial escapism seen in the song. The humorous yet harsh criticism of the protagonist, who seeks financial stability through marriage rather than love, might mirror the struggles and aspirations of many during that era, who faced economic hardships.
