“Por qué,” meaning “Why” in English, echoes the endless quest for understanding in the dance of life. Its melody, perhaps a tango’s melancholic embrace, whispers questions of love, longing, and the mysteries of the heart.

Letra del Tango Por qué

¿Por qué

si yo soy el mismo querés cambiar

mi pilcha ‘e varón?

¿Por qué

si mi pobre ajuar

dio a cantar

mi honda tristeza?

¿Por qué

si no está en mi sangre vos me adornás

p’ hacerme amargar?



Yo soy milonga

sentimental.

Mi nombre es macho

soy el gotán.

Vestí de negro con funyi claro…

Y me quisieron.

Me respetaron.

Y fue muy pura mi vida entera

y hay quien venera mi cuna de ayer.



¿Por qué

quieren que me vista tan ataviao

con tanto trenzao?

¿Por qué

quieren verme así

hecho un gil

de fantasía?

¿Por qué

si he nacido tango y así latió

mi gran corazón?
