Letra del Tango Quedate tranquilo

No es cosa de tomarse la vida tan a pecho,
en este siglo loco de farsa y de interés.
Si el bache de un cariño dejó tu amor deshecho,
por qué vas a afligirte si en cada esquina hay tres.
A tu cariño tonto, cantale la violeta
y al corazón, si muerde, ponele un buen bozal.
La vida es una dama voluble y pizpireta
que a veces es muy buena y en otras hace mal.

Quedate tranquilo,
tirá el alma a la marchanta,
que el amor si es lindo canta
y es así, va hacia el dolor.
Amor, amor, amor,
de qué vale tu despecho
si su garra está en acecho
tras un beso embriagador.
Quedate tranquilo
y dejate de lamentos
que el final es todo un cuento
y es un cuento el mismo amor.

No te olvides que estamos viviendo en la locura
y que somos los peones de un juego de ajedrez.
Y que en el universo la gente se tortura,
buscando dicha en vano para morir después.
El mundo es un buey lerdo tirando una carreta,
cargada hasta los topes de infamias y de mal.
Por eso, a tu cariño, cantale la violeta
y al corazón si muerde ponele un buen bozal.

English lyrics of the Tango "Quedate tranquilo"

Don’t take life too seriously,
in this crazy century of farce and interest.
If a love pothole left your love shattered,
why be sad when there are three at every corner?
To your foolish love, sing the violet,
and if the heart bites, put a good muzzle on it.
Life is a fickle, spirited lady
who sometimes is very kind and at times does harm.

Stay calm,
throw your soul to the wind,
because if love is beautiful it sings,
and goes like this, towards pain.
Love, love, love,
what’s the use of your spite
if its claw is lurking
behind an intoxicating kiss?
Stay calm,
and stop lamenting,
because the end is just a story,
and love itself is just a story.

Don’t forget we’re living in madness,
and that we are pawns in a chess game.
And that in this universe people torture themselves,
searching in vain for happiness to later die.
The world is a sluggish ox pulling a cart,
heavily loaded with infamy and evil.
So, to your love, sing the violet,
and if the heart bites, put a good muzzle on it.

Story behind the Tango Quedate tranquilo

The lyrics of “Quedate tranquilo” convey a poignant message about resilience and acceptance in the face of life’s inevitable hardships, particularly relating to love and disappointment. The overarching advice offered by the narrator is not to take life too seriously or to heart, as the 20th century, described as “crazy,” is full of deceit and selfishness. The phrase “Quedate tranquilo” translates to “Stay calm” in English, suggesting a stoic endurance through emotional turmoil.

Symbolism of Quedate tranquilo

Luis Rubistein uses vivid imagery and symbolism to enhance the emotional weight of the lyrics. Referring to life as a capricious lady and love as a treacherous game echoes the unpredictability and sometimes cruel nature of both. The repeated advice to “sing to your silly love” and “put a muzzle on your heart if it bites” employs metaphors of controlling and soothing one’s emotional responses, symbolizing self-protection and emotional regulation. The chess game analogy with humans as pawns underscores the lack of control individuals have over larger life events, suggesting a resignation to fate.
