Letra del Tango Que dios nos comprenda

Vale más que morir sin vivir,
El vivir, aunque amarte sea atroz,
Y que Dios, sin podernos unir
Nos comprenda y nos dé su perdón.

Es cobarde, que amándote así
Y es inerte, que amándome tú,
Nos dejemos morir sin vivir
En la ley que me impide tu amor.

Vale más que a nuestras bocas
Las juntemos sin pudor,
Sin sentir que nos sofoca
Con sus grillos, el honor.
Vale más, más que soñemos
Aunque todos digan: ¡No!…
Y que luego sólo Dios,
Si es que quiere comprender
Nos alumbre el corazón.

Vale más que sufrir con la sed
La tortura en la fuente calmar,
Y a la espina tortuosa y fatal
Que nos sangra, poder arrancar.

Tú me dices que no, por razón
Mientras yo, sin cordura tal vez,
Te contesto en audaz rebelión
Vale más el luchar que ceder…

English lyrics of the Tango "Que dios nos comprenda"

It’s better to die while living,
To live, even if loving you is harsh,
And may God, unable to unite us,
Understand us and grant us forgiveness.

It’s cowardly, loving you like this,
And inert, with you loving me,
To let ourselves die without living
Under the law that forbids your love.

It’s better for our mouths
To meet without shame,
Without feeling suffocated
By the shackles of honor.
It’s better to dream
Even if everyone says no!
And then only God,
If He wishes to understand,
May illuminate our hearts.

It’s better to suffer from thirst
And quench it at the fountain,
And to the torturous and deadly thorn
That bleeds us, we can remove.

You tell me no, reasonably
While I, perhaps thoughtlessly,
Answer you in bold rebellion
It’s better to fight than to surrender…

Story behind the Tango Que dios nos comprenda

The lyrics of “Que dios nos comprenda” delve into the profound emotional turmoil and moral conflict of two lovers whose relationship is deemed unacceptable by societal norms. The key phrases “vale más que morir sin vivir” and “que Dios…Nos comprenda y nos dé su perdón” reflect the core conflict: a choice between a life devoid of authentic experience or embracing a forbidden love, hoping for divine understanding and forgiveness. The song essentially narrates a plea for freedom to love, transcending imposed moral boundaries.

Symbolism of Que dios nos comprenda

The lyrics employ vivid symbolism to evoke the inner struggle faced by the speakers. Phrases such as “la ley que me impide tu amor” and “con sus grillos, el honor” use legal and honor-based shackles as metaphors for social constraints that stifle natural emotions. The repeated calls for divine comprehension – “y que luego sólo Dios, Si es que quiere comprender” – symbolize a desperate hope that a higher, celestial authority might validate their feelings, which are condemned on earth.
