Letra del Tango Por eso te quiero

Porque tu amor fue la causa, que me salvó del descenso,
Me alejé de aquel mal paso y me hice hombre de bien,
Dejé los amigos reos y yo que era un inconsciente
Aprendí a ganar la diaria, con el sudor de mi frente
Y tuve por recompensa, tu cariño de mujer.

Porque jamás me fallaste, ni en las malas ni en las buenas,
Y tus besos me alentaron si desmayaba mi fe,
Porque cuando estuve enfermo y al borde del precipicio
Me cuidaste como madre, con amor y sacrificio,
Y fuiste un ponchito tibio en mi frío anochecer.

Por rebelde y por compadre, lo negaba al mismo Dios,
Pero un cachorro me diste, con tus mismos ojos tristes
Con la sangre de los dos.
Cuando lo tuve en mis brazos, mi corazón aflojó,
Y al besar tu negro pelo, levanté el purrete al cielo
Y le di gracias a Dios.

Porque hoy esquivo el boliche, pa´ estar temprano en mi casa,
Gambeteo vicio y farra, por la gloria del hogar,
Y soy feliz con un mate y bajo un cielo de parra,
Le canto una serenata al purrete en mi guitarra
Y estoy pagado y servido, cuando me dice: papá.

Decime ahora mi negra, si tenés motivo alguno,
Pa´ dudar de mi cariño, ya te abrí mi corazón,
A vos te debo la vida, sos mi guía y sos mi suerte,
Y te quiero con el alma y te querré hasta la muerte
Te lo juro por el pibe, que es un cacho de los dos.

English lyrics of the Tango "Por eso te quiero"

Because your love was the reason that saved me from the fall,
I turned away from that bad step and became a decent man,
Left the criminal friends, and I, once thoughtless,
Learned to earn my daily bread with the sweat of my brow,
And had as a reward, your loving care.

Because you never failed me, neither in bad times nor in good,
And your kisses cheered me when my faith waned,
Because when I was sick and on the edge of the abyss,
You cared for me like a mother, with love and sacrifice,
And you were a warm poncho on my cold nightfall.

For being rebellious and a tough guy, I even denied God,
But you gave me a son, with your same sad eyes,
With the blood of us both.
When I held him in my arms, my heart softened,
And as I kissed your dark hair, I lifted the boy to the sky
And gave thanks to God.

Because now I avoid the club to be home early,
Dodging vice and revelry, for the sake of my home,
And I’m happy with a mate under a vine-covered sky,
I sing a serenade to the boy on my guitar,
And I’m paid in full and served when he calls me: dad.

Tell me now my dear, if you have any reason,
To doubt my affection, I’ve opened my heart,
I owe you my life, you’re my guide and my luck,
And I love you with all my soul and will love you till death,
I swear it by our son, who is a piece of us both.

Story behind the Tango Por eso te quiero

The song “Por eso te quiero” (‘That’s Why I Love You’) by Reinaldo Yiso narrates the transformative power of love and paternal responsibility. The narrator, once lost and without direction, found salvation and purpose through love and fatherhood. The lyrics speak to a drastic personal evolution from recklessness to responsibility, motivated by the love for a partner and the birth of a son. Their partner’s unwavering support during times of illness and despair further cements their profound gratitude and love.



Symbolism of Por eso te quiero

Yiso’s lyrics are rich with symbolism and imagery, particularly revolving around redemption and warmth. For instance, the partner is symbolized as a “warm poncho” during cold nights, representing comfort and safety. Substantial transformation is evident in the phrases like “me hice hombre de bien” (I became a good man) and “gambeteo vicio y farra” (I dodge vices and revelry), signaling a shift from vice to virtue. The child, described as “cacho de los dos” (‘a piece of both of us’), symbolizes the union and continuation of both their lives and legacies, grounding the narrator’s newfound faith and purpose.



Por eso te quiero in historic Context
