Letra del Tango Por dónde andará

Yo te busco en mis recuerdos, nena,

Y te busco pa’morir con vos;

Se me achica el corazón de pena,

Pero aguarda a que le des un adiós.

Y te juro que no sé como eras,

Que mi mente no te encuentra ya;

Que me paso las horas enteras,

Preguntando: ¿por dónde andará?



Y cruzan, a la vez,

Siluetas en montón

Y nunca descubro cuál es.



Yo me acuerdo, solamente,

De una caricia, de un beso sano,

De una mano muy ardiente

Que entre sus dedos tuvo mi mano;

Del amor de una pareja,

De una ventana, chica y sin reja,

Donde estaban bien juntitos ella y él…

¡No sé si yo soy aquél!



Es por eso que te busco, nena,

y te busco pa’morir con vos.

¿Qué te cuesta ser, un rato, buena?

Si no pido nada más que un adiós.

No, no vengas, que bajó del cielo

La mujer que más quería yo:

Es mi madre que trae un consuelo

La que nunca mi mente olvidó.

English lyrics of the Tango "Por dónde andará"

I search for you in my memories, girl,

And I search to die with you;

My heart shrinks with sorrow,

But it waits for you to say goodbye.

And I swear I don’t remember how you were,

My mind can’t find you anymore;

I spend endless hours,

Asking: where could you be?

And simultaneously,

Many silhouettes cross,

And I never figure out which one is you.

I remember only,

A caress, a pure kiss,

A very ardent hand

That held mine in its fingers;

The love of a couple,

A small window, without bars,

Where they were close together, her and him…

I don’t know if I am that one!

That’s why I look for you, girl,

and I search to die with you.

What does it cost you to be, for a while, kind?

If all I ask for is a goodbye.

No, don’t come, because down from heaven

Came the woman I loved most:

It is my mother who brings consolation,

The one my mind never forgot.

Story behind the Tango “Por dónde andará”

The tango “Por dónde andará” encapsulates a reflective and poignant journey of memory and longing. The narrator in the song is searching deeply for a lost love, someone who exists now only in fragments of memories that are fading away. The very act of seeking seems to underscore their desperation and the painful realization that perhaps they are chasing a ghost. The repeated line, “Y te busco pa’morir con vos,” which translates to “And I search for you to die with you,” starkly highlights a blend of devotion and existential despair, bringing forth a deep emotional resonance which is typical in tango lyrics.



Symbolism of Por dónde andará

In “Por dónde andará,” every element mentioned carries a symbolic weight. The mention of a small window “without bars” symbolizes openness, unlimited possibilities, and past intimacy, which now seems closed or lost to the narrator. Moreover, the fleeting silhouette that never manifests tangibly “Y cruzan, a la vez, Siluetas en montón Y nunca descubro cuál es,” points to elusive memories and the frustrating nature of trying to grasp something that no longer exists. This use of silhouette as a metaphor intensifies the theme of searching amidst shadows and uncertainties of the past.



Por dónde andará in historic Context

Created in 1947, a pivotal post-war period for Argentina, “Por dónde andará” resonates with the broader social sentiments of the time—reconstruction, loss, and searching for what has been irreversibly altered or lost. In this era, the nation was grappling with significant political and economic transformations, which is subtly mirrored in the personal, emotional turmoils expressed through this tango. The yearning and the backward gaze in the lyrics reflect a collective nostalgia and a desire to recover what is past, echoing the societal undercurrents of the period.



Atilio Supparo

Atilio Supparo was a notable figure in the tango landscape, renowned for his poignant and deeply reflective lyrics that often explored themes of love, loss, and nostalgia.
