Letra del Tango Recordándote

Indignado por el opio que me diste tan fulero,
francamente, estoy cabrero y jamás olvidaré
que una noche embabicado, te juré que te quería,
mucho más que al alma mía y que a mi madre también.
Te acoplaste al cotorro de este vate arrabalero
y te juro, hasta diquero por tenerte se volvió,
se acabaron las verseadas de mi numen peregrino,
si era el verso más divino llevarte en mi corazón.

En mis noches de lirismo,
por los tristes arrabales,
rimé tiernos madrigales
que a tu lado deshojé.
Puse vida en cada estrofa,
mi amor, mi paz y ventura,
y la inefable ternura
de tu alma de mujer.

Cuántas noches en mi rante bulincito de poeta
una lágrima indiscreta furtivamente cayó,
pensé que fueras el verso más intenso de mi vida,
porque aún sangra la herida que tu espiante me causó.
Ya que sabes el secreto de lo mucho que he sufrido,
decime quién te ha querido con más intensa pasión,
y del fondo de tu alma, silenciosa, cruel y cruda,
la hiriente verdad desnuda te dirá: este chabón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Recordándote"

Outraged by the shoddy opium you gave me,
frankly, I’m bitter and I will never forget
that one night, mesmerized, I swore I loved you,
more than my own soul and even my mother.
You moved into the nest of this streetwise poet
and I swear, I even turned suave to have you,
gone were the verses of my wandering muse,
if there was a divine verse, it was carrying you in my heart.

In my nights of lyricism,
through the sad outskirts,
I rhymed tender madrigals
that I plucked by your side.
I put life in each stanza,
my love, my peace, and fortune,
and the ineffable tenderness
of your womanly soul.

How many nights in my humble poet’s den
a discreet tear secretly fell,
I thought you were the most intense verse of my life,
because the wound your departure caused still bleeds.
Now that you know the secret of how much I’ve suffered,
tell me who has loved you with such intense passion,
and from the depths of your soul, silent, cruel and raw,
the stinging naked truth will tell you: this guy.

Story behind the Tango Recordándote

The Tango “Recordándote” translates to “Remembering You” in English and is a profound embodiment of nostalgia and a tortured reminiscence of a lost love. José De Grandis portrays the haunting memories of a relationship in which he experienced betrayal and profound emotional pain. The lyrical content offers a glimpse into a lover’s heart, embittered yet still clinging to the fragments of a past affection. The narrator remembers how he once, blinded by love, elevated his partner above all else, a devotion that would only lead to disappointment and betrayal.


Symbolism of Recordándote

De Grandis uses several powerful symbols and language choices to enhance the emotional weight of “Recordándote”. Phrases like “Indignado por el opio que me diste tan fulero” use the metaphor of opium to suggest how toxic the love was, intoxicating and ultimately harmful. The repeated references to poetry and verses, such as “en mi rante bulincito de poeta”, symbolize the idealism of his past feelings, contrasting with the harsh reality of his current emotional state. This imagery not only adds depth to the narrator’s woes but also highlights the romantic yet tragic nature of his reminiscences.


Recordándote in Historic Context

Recorded in 1957 in Argentina, “Recordándote” reflects the cultural and social backdrop of Argentine Tango during that era, a period rich with artistic expression yet entangled with societal upheaval. The mention of “los tristes arrabales,” which refers to the suburbs or less affluent outskirts of Argentine cities, contextualizes the lyric within spaces commonly associated with tango’s origins—places of raw emotion, struggle, and authenticity. The year 1957 might also reflect a post-Peronist Argentina, dealing with its identity and the dramatic changes in its social fabric, which could parallel the personal betrayals and societal shifts hinted at in the lyrics.
