Letra del Tango Pueblera

Camino, camino largo
que se hace amargo de soledad.
Empiezo a sentirme viejo, tan lejos
Donde me pierden mis pasos,
Sin el amparo de tus ojazos
Que ya no están.
Camino, camino largo
que se hace amargo de soledad.

Soy un zorzal herido,
Soy un boyero sin bueyes,
Soy un rosal sin flores
Por tus amores.
Llevo arrastrando mi pena
Junto a la gris carretera,
Para olvidar, pueblera,
Tu desamor…

Camino, camino largo
Que se hace amargo de soledad.
La noche me envuelve en luna y bruma
Y ando en la noche perdido,
Dentro del pecho siento tu olvido
Sentimental.
Camino, camino largo
que se hace amargo de soledad.

English lyrics of the Tango "Pueblera"

I walk, a long path
that grows bitter with solitude.
I start to feel old, so far away
Where my steps lose me,
Without the shelter of your great eyes
That are no longer here.
I walk, a long path
that grows bitter with solitude.

I am a wounded nightingale,
I am a herder without oxen,
I am a rosebush without flowers
Due to your love.
I drag my sorrow
Along the gray highway,
To forget, country girl,
Your unloving heart…

I walk, a long path
That grows bitter with solitude.
The night wraps me in moon and mist
And I wander through the night lost,
Inside my chest I feel your oblivion
Sentimental.
I walk, a long path
that grows bitter with solitude.

Story behind the Tango Pueblera

The tango “Pueblera” paints a poignant picture of loss and heartache, expressed through the metaphor of a long, lonely road. The lyrics describe the journey of someone who feels deeply abandoned, traversing this “long road” that becomes “bitter with solitude.” This path seems endless and arduous without the comfort and warmth of the beloved’s watchful eyes. The lyrics evoke a palpable sense of aging and weariness, emphasizing the protagonist’s emotional state of desolation.

Symbolism of Pueblera

The symbolism in “Pueblera” is rich and evocative, using the “long road” as a central metaphor for the journey of life or the path of lost love. The repetition of “camino, camino largo,” or “long road,” enhances the feeling of a never-ending journey filled with sorrow. The reference to being a “zorzal herido” (a wounded thrush), a “boyero sin bueyes” (ox herder without oxen), and a “rosal sin flores” (rosebush without flowers) encapsulates the absence and emptiness felt by the protagonist. These metaphors highlight feelings of loneliness, incompleteness, and unfulfilled potential due to lost love.

Pueblera in Historic Context

Composed in 1947 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, “Pueblera” reflects the societal backdrop of a post-war world where emotional expression and romanticism were highly valued in the arts. Buenos Aires, being a culturally vibrant city at the time, was a hub for tango music, which often explored themes of nostalgia, melancholy, and longing. The historical context adds depth to the song, as the tango often served as an emotional outlet for individuals facing personal and societal upheavals.

Antonio Bonavena, the composer of “Pueblera,” contributed significantly to the rich tapestry of tango music in Argentina, an influential genre known for expressing deep emotional narratives through its melodies and lyrics.
