Letra del Tango Porque sí

Yo, que en silencio te amé
No he perdido la fe
Aunque hayas caído.
Yo, quiero darte al final
Para bien, para mal
El calor de mi nido.
Y no creas que es piedad
Jamás podré negarte la verdad,
Es así…
Del principio al final,
Para bien, para mal
Creo en ti
Porque sí…

Cuando aprendas a olvidar, reirás
Cuando vuelvas a soñar, me dirás,
Con el alma en la mirada y la voz:
“Esta casa es el hogar de los dos”
Así es la vida,
Sangra una herida
Pero la cierra el amor.
Es por eso que al final
Para bien, para mal,
Creo en ti
Porque sí.

Hoy es todo lo mismo que ayer
Sólo tú puedes ser
Dueña de tu destino.
Yo no pretendo tu amor
Como precio a un favor
O tributo al olvido.
Sin pedir explicación
Ni tú ni yo, sabemos la razón.
Es así…
Del principio al final
Para bien, para mal
Creo en ti
Porque sí.

English lyrics of the Tango "Porque sí"

I, who silently loved you,
Have not lost faith,
Even though you’ve fallen.
I, want to give you in the end,
For better or worse,
The warmth of my nest.
And do not think it’s pity,
I can never deny you the truth,
It is so…
From beginning to end,
For better or worse,
I believe in you,
Just because…

When you learn to forget, you’ll laugh,
When you start to dream again, you’ll tell me
With your soul in your eyes and voice:
“This house is home for us both.”
Such is life,
A wound bleeds
But love heals it.
That’s why in the end,
For better or worse,
I believe in you,
Just because.

Today is the same as yesterday,
Only you can be
Master of your destiny.
I don’t expect your love
As a price for a favor
Or tribute to forgetfulness.
Without asking for an explanation,
Neither you nor I know the reason.
It is so…
From beginning to end,
For better or worse,
I believe in you,
Just because.

Story behind the Tango Porque sí

The lyrics of “Porque sí” reveal a tale of unconditional and enduring love, reflecting a deep, silent affection that persists despite hardships. The narrator expresses a steadfast belief in the beloved, regardless of past downfalls or misconceptions. This commitment is presented not as an act of pity, but as a natural, inherent truth to the narrator. The recurring theme of belief “porque sí” (just because) highlights love as an intuitive, undeniable force.



Symbolism of Porque sí

The phrase “porque sí” itself acts as a powerful symbol throughout the Tango, embodying the inexplicable and unconditional nature of the narrator’s love. This idiom suggests a deep emotional conviction that transcends rational explanation—emphasizing love as a fundamental, self-evident truth. The recurring references to healing—where love closes the wounds—symbolize the transformative and redemptive power of love, suggesting that it is the ultimate remedy for life’s sorrows and a vehicle for renewal and hope.



Porque sí in historic Context

Composed in 1959, a period when Argentina was experiencing considerable political and social instability, “Porque sí” offers a personal sanctuary from external turbulence. The repeated assurances of support “for better or for worse” echo the desires for stability and resilience amid the era’s unpredictability. This tango, with its intimate and reassuring themes, could be seen as a reflection on the protective power of love against the backdrop of a constantly shifting societal landscape. Furthermore, Argentina’s rich history with tango music as an expression of deeper emotional and societal undercurrents provides a poignant layer to the song’s reception and interpretation among its contemporary audiences.
