Letra del Tango Por un te quiero

Qué fuerza alocada me condena
A quererte así, de tal manera,
Si con mi presencia está tu ausencia
Matando todo, ¡Negando a Dios!
Lucho con las horas del pasado
Rompo los futuros de mi suerte,
Muero sin morirme, preguntando
Si de quererte, nació mi mal.

Yo convertí, gracias a ti, la noche en día
Y te entregué rayos de sol para tu mentira,
¿Quién apagó
la buena estrella de mi guía?
¿Quién te llevó
por los pecados de la vida?
¿Dónde estarán
los pobres besos míos,
que yo te di
perdido en mi delirio?
Dame otra vez, las esperanzas del pasado
Con el “te quiero” que recuerdo más y más.

En cada ilusión hay una espera
Y en cada esperanza una quimera,
En mi corazón hay una pena
Muerte de pena, ¡Por tanto amar!
Pídeme, si quieres, más calvarios
Pídele imposibles a mi vida,
Dame otra mentira de tus labios
Que está muy sola, mi soledad.

English lyrics of the Tango "Por un te quiero"

What wild force condemns me
To love you like this, in such a way,
If with my presence your absence
Kills everything, denying God!
I fight with the hours of the past
I break the futures of my fate,
I die without dying, asking
If from loving you, my trouble began.

I turned, thanks to you, night into day
And I offered you rays of sun for your lie,
Who extinguished
The good star of my guide?
Who led you
Through the sins of life?
Where might they be
My poor kisses,
That I gave you
Lost in my delirium?
Give me again, the hopes of the past
With the “I love you” I remember more and more.

In every dream there’s a wait
And in every hope a fantasy,
In my heart there’s a sorrow
Death from sorrow, for so much love!
Ask me, if you want, for more ordeals
Ask my life for the impossible,
Give me another lie from your lips
For my loneliness is very alone.

Story behind the Tango Por un te quiero

Por un te quiero, composed in Buenos Aires in 1957, is a poignant tango that delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love. The lyrics speak to the tumultuous and often destructive nature of intense feelings borne from passion.

Throughout the song, symbolism plays a pivotal role in enhancing its emotional depth. The use of “lucha” (struggle) and “calvarios” (calvaries) speaks to the inner battle and suffering inherent in such a profound emotional experience. The imagery of turning “la noche en día” (night into day) illustrates a dramatic change brought upon by this love, while “la buena estrella” (the good star) symbolizes lost guidance. The repeated plea for another “te quiero” reflects a longing for the solace and hope of past affection, even if it’s an illusion or a lie.
