Letra del Vals Quiero huir de mí

Todo el dolor regado por el mundo

Parece que se adhiere en mi caída,

Y vivo en un abismo tan profundo

Lejos de lo mundano de la vida.



Quiero huir de mí mismo en un segundo

Donde nunca me alcance tu presencia,

Y volver a vivir en otro mundo

Donde no sienta más tu indiferencia.



Todo tu ser es fuerza en mi materia,

Siento alergia a la carne de otros seres,

Tu desamor me encierra en esta histeria

Y miro indiferente los placeres.



Vivir sin tu cariño, vida mía

Es mucho más terrible que la muerte,

Porque te sigo amando todavía

Pero te juro… que no quiero verte.

English lyrics of the Vals "Quiero huir de mí"

All the pain spread across the world
seems to cling to me as I fall,
and I live in an abyss so deep,
far from the mundane aspects of life.

I want to escape from myself in a moment
where your presence never reaches me,
and live again in another world
where I no longer feel your indifference.

Your whole being is strength in my fiber,
I am allergic to the flesh of others,
Your lack of love locks me in this hysteria
and I look indifferently at pleasures.

Living without your love, my dear,
is much more terrible than death,
because I still love you
but I swear… I do not want to see you.

Quiero huir de mí by Roberto Cantoral

Quiero huir de mí is a Tango written by Roberto Cantoral and composed by Manuel Sucher.



Story behind the Tango Quiero huir de mí

The lyrics of “Quiero huir de mí” convey a deep emotional turmoil and a desire to escape oneself. The author, Roberto Cantoral, expresses an intimate struggle with grief and disillusionment, stemming from unrequited love and emotional abandonment. The poetic voice narrates the heavy burden of emotional pain “regado por el mundo” (spread throughout the world) and describes life as a profound abyss “en un abismo tan profundo”. This stark imagery establishes a somber tone, reflecting a profound sense of isolation and despair.



Symbolism of Quiero huir de mí

Several symbolic elements enhance the depth and meaning of the lyrics. The phrase “Quiero huir de mí mismo” symbolizes an intense desire to escape one’s own reality, highlighting the internal conflict and the pain of self-awareness. “Vivir sin tu cariño, vida mía” and the decision that this fate is “más terrible que la muerte,” suggest that existing without the loved one’s affection is worse than death itself—indicating the magnitude of their influence. Furthermore, the repulsion “siento alergia a la carne de otros seres” portrays a dramatic rejection of any substitute for the beloved, reinforcing the themes of loyalty and the unique nature of a profound but unreciprocated love.



Quiero huir de mí in historic Context

“Quiero huir de mí” was composed and released in an era when Tango music often mirrored sentiments of longing, melancholic love, and socio-cultural expressions specific to Argentina in the 1960s. Tango was not only a dance form but also a musical expression of the introspective and often troubled spirits of the Argentinean populace. During this period, tango lyrics frequently depicted themes of despair, nostalgia, and the trials of love, traits that are prominently displayed in Cantoral’s lyrical choices. The historical backdrop intensifies the emotional gravity of the piece, as it touches the soul of an audience already familiar with such existential and romantic woes.
