Letra del Tango Quién dijo miedo

Viví,
pero sin complicarte, sin chivar,
ni batir que te vas de quemao a encianurar,
y que andás sin toven
con un pie en cada riel,
de que sos desgraciao en amores…
Viví
sin deschavarte nunca que aguantás
el rigor de dormir sin morfar y así verás
que tendrás un cartel propiamente bacán,
aunque andes sin un ‘gomán’…

Yo soy la Noche y soy la Luz
y soy un cacho de Jesús…
Jamás dejé de ser sonriente mostrando los dientes
yo cincho mi cruz…
Mirá, si tengo o no razón
pa’ andar con bronca y disgustao,
y sin embargo siempre voy
con un pucho ‘e canción pa’ engrupir…

Rajá,
con esa cara ‘e fiambre, no manyás
que la ‘davi’ se pianta y pa’ peor no vuelve más,
comprendé, que al final ‘Triunvirato’ cacharás…
Que esperás pa’ tirar la “Chancleta’…
Reír (¡ja… ja… ja… ja!…)
aunque te des un golpe y sonreir
si un amigo te viene a contar que tu mujer
se fugó de tu lao con tu amigo mejor…
¡Piantale siempre al Dolor!…

English lyrics of the Tango "Quién dijo miedo"

Live,
but without making it complicated, don’t snitch,
or reveal that you go from being burned to turning blue,
and that you wander aimlessly
with one foot on each rail,
that you’re unlucky in love…
Live
without ever admitting you endure
the hardship of sleeping without eating and you’ll see
you’ll earn quite the admirable reputation,
even though you’re broke…

I am the Night and I am the Light
and I am a piece of Jesus…
I have never stopped smiling, showing my teeth
I bear my cross…
Look, whether I’m right or not
to walk around angry and upset,
yet I always go
with a tune to charm…

Scoot,
with that deadpan face, don’t you understand
that luck fades and, what’s worse, it won’t come back,
realize, that in the end you’ll grasp ‘Triunvirato’…
What are you waiting for to throw in the ‘Chancleta’…
Laugh (ha… ha… ha… ha!…)
even if you stumble and smile
if a friend comes to tell you that your woman
ran off with your best friend…
Always shun Pain!…

Story behind the Tango Quién dijo miedo

The lyrics of “Quién dijo miedo” reflect a conversation or internal monologue focusing on living life resiliently despite hardships. This central theme is portrayed through advice on handling life’s adversities without showing fear or discomfort. Enrique Cadícamo, through his evocative and somewhat cryptic lyrics, seems to invite the listener to face life’s challenges with a dignified silence about their personal suffering, and to maintain an upbeat demeanor regardless.

Symbolism of Quién dijo miedo

“Yo soy la Noche y soy la Luz y soy un cacho de Jesús” is a vivid line that uses religious imagery to describe the persona as embodying both darkness and light, showcasing resilience and the acceptance of suffering as a path to eventual enlightenment or redemption. Phrases like “sin complicarte, sin chivar,” imply the importance of keeping one’s struggles private, which aligns with the notion of enduring without burdening others. Meanwhile, motley slang terms like ‘gomán’ and ‘Triunvirato’ add idiosyncratic local flavor, enriching the cultural texture of the narrative.
