Letra del Vals Qué me pasará

La vida me castiga
La fe me abandonó,
Mordiendo angustias
Quisiera gritar,
Que sufro, que ya no sé
Cómo soporto la duda brutal.

Qué largas son mis noches
Saber que nada sé,
Irán las sombras
En ronda infernal,
Burlándose
Golpean en mi corazón,
Y me hablan siempre de traición
Para aumentar mi mal.

English lyrics of the Vals "Qué me pasará"

Life punishes me,
Faith has abandoned me,
Chewing on anxieties,
I want to scream,
That I suffer, that I no longer know
How I endure the brutal doubt.

How long are my nights,
Knowing that I know nothing,
Shadows will go
In an infernal round,
Mocking,
They strike at my heart,
And they constantly speak of betrayal
To increase my pain.

Story behind the Tango Qué me pasará

The lyrics of “Qué me pasará” paint a vivid picture of despair and inner turmoil. The singer reflects on the severe struggles and the emotional pain he experiences. As he mentions “La vida me castiga” (Life punishes me) and “La fe me abandonó” (Faith has abandoned me), we can sense a feeling of being lost and the intense suffering he is undergoing. The emotional depth of the lyrics indicates a narrative of personal betrayal and the ongoing battle with one’s inner doubts and shadows.



Symbolism of Qué me pasará

The use of darkness and shadows in the lyrics serves as potent symbols of the narrator’s mental and emotional state. Phrases like “Mordiendo angustias” (Biting anxieties) and “Irán las sombras En ronda infernal” (The shadows will go in a hellish round) enrich the text with a sense of an ongoing, inescapable battle with despair. The reference to the heart and betrayal – “Golpean en mi corazón, Y me hablan siempre de traición” (They beat in my heart, And they always speak to me of betrayal) – emphasizes feelings of heartache and being wronged, encapsulating the theme of personal anguish.



Qué me pasará in historic Context

The tango was recorded in 1941, a period marked by significant upheaval and global tensions with World War II escalating. Argentina, although neutral for much of the war, was not immune to the psychological and societal impacts of global conflicts. The essence of “Qué me pasará”, with its themes of darkness, betrayal, and despair, could be reflective of the broader mood of uncertainty and anxiety of the era. These historical elements may have influenced the somber, reflective tone of the song, echoing the broader sentiments of doubt and the search for meaning prevalent at that time.
