Letra del Tango Risa loca

No escucharé nunca jamás la risa loca
con que a mi vida tanto alegraste.
Tan solo estoy, en mi dolor el alma evoca,
las horas que dejaste
tan huérfanas de amor.
No olvidaré la tarde aquella en que moría,
cuando me diste tu despedida,
como esa tarde se fue mi vida
quedando sólo con mi dolor.

Nadie
disipará la negra sombra
que al irte me has dejado.
Solo
y en mi dolor mis labios nombran
tu nombre inolvidado.
Siempre
recordaré con honda pena
que en mis brazos morías
y al despedirte me pedías
no te olvidara nunca más.

Al recordar lo que te amé preferiría
no haberte visto, ni haberte amado.
Si tras de ti también huyó mi alegría
y todo desolado por siempre se quedó.
Pensar en ti sin más consuelo que la pena
inconsolable que dio tu ausencia.
Vieras que triste que es mi existencia
sin tu cariño todo acabó.

English lyrics of the Tango "Risa loca"

I will never hear again the mad laughter
with which you brightened my life so much.
Alone I am, in my pain the soul evokes,
the hours you left
so orphaned of love.
I will not forget that afternoon when I was dying,
when you gave me your farewell,
like that afternoon my life went away
leaving only my pain.

No one
will dispel the dark shadow
that you left upon leaving.
Alone
and in my pain my lips name
your unforgettable name.
Always
I will remember with deep sorrow
that you died in my arms
and as you left, you asked me
to never forget you.

Remembering how much I loved you, I would prefer
to have never seen you, nor loved you.
If after you my joy also fled
and everything remained forever desolate.
To think of you with no other comfort than the sorrow
unconsolable brought by your absence.
You would see how sad my existence is
without your love, everything ended.

Story behind the Tango Risa loca

“Risa loca” directly translates to “crazy laugh” in English, which is emblematic of the song’s emotional heart. The lyrics reflect a profound sense of loss and melancholy, addressing the absence of a beloved’s laughter which once brought joy to the narrator’s life. José De Grandis encapsulates the theme of love and loss – lamenting over a past filled with happiness that the protagonist can no longer return to, highlighted by phrases like “las horas que dejaste tan huérfanas de amor” indicating hours left so bereft of love. The mention of a final goodbye in the lyrics heightens the sense of irreversible loss and enduring grief.



Symbolism of Risa loca

The central figure, the “crazy laugh,” symbolizes more than just happiness; it represents a state of innocence and bliss in the protagonist’s life that has since been shadowed by sorrow. The phrases like “no olvidaré la tarde aquella en que moría,” referring to a fateful evening of farewell, introduces the theme of death—not necessarily physical, but the death of a relationship and the subsequent mourning of that loss. The repetitive invocation of pain and shadows describes a life engulfed by the darkness of absence, vividly painting a portrait of unshakeable grief.



Risa loca in historic Context

Released in 1968 in Argentina, “Risa loca” emerged during a tumultuous period characterized by political and social unrest. The pervasive themes of loss and despair may subtly mirror the collective sentiment of a community experiencing instability and change. The Tango, a dance deeply intertwined with expressions of passion and melancholy, serves as a perfect medium for delivering such a poignant story of personal and perhaps communal sorrow.
