Letra del Tango Rodríguez Peña

I cry my heart out
in the silence of the suburbs
to see that everything has changed.
Honda remembers
the romantic past that he
loves so much.

Goodbye, Rodríguez Peña de mi joyful youth.
Rincón that evokes me near me at the same time
that was like a star of the beautiful blue scene
that in my turn uncertainly in oblivion
and my tango that is hermana with my great feeling
sighs to understand that I will not return
the afternoons and evenings that I happily shared
with lots of people from this ideal time.

Tango of my glories,
which I repeat with my faithful song,
tango that smiles
with my beloved dancer.
I want, beautiful tango,
to tease me with your sweet voice,
like those
happy days of Ayer.

English lyrics of the Tango "Rodríguez Peña"

I cry my heart out
in the suburban silence,
seeing that everything has changed.
Honda remembers
the romantic past he
so dearly loves.

Goodbye, Rodríguez Peña of my joyous youth.
Corner that simultaneously evokes nostalgia and proximity,
once a star in the beautiful blue tableau,
now uncertainly fading into oblivion.
My tango, sister to my profound emotions,
sighs to recognize I won’t return
to those afternoons and evenings joyously shared
with the many from that ideal era.

Tango of my triumphs,
whom I echo with my devoted song,
tango that smiles
with my beloved dance partner.
I want, beautiful tango,
to tease me with your sweet voice,
like those
joyous days of yesteryear.

Story behind the Tango Rodríguez Peña

The lyrics of “Rodríguez Peña” echo a deep nostalgia for the past, reflecting the author’s emotional connection to the youthful and joyous days associated with the Rodríguez Peña street, a known location in Buenos Aires. Velich reminisces about a time of communal joy and personal glory, symbolized through the tango itself—a dance that once brought him, and many locals, immense happiness. The repeated references to changes in the neighborhood express sorrow and loss, signifying more than just physical changes but also shifts in culture and community spirit.



Symbolism of Rodríguez Peña

The song utilizes Rodríguez Peña, both as a symbol and a setting, to represent a lost era of innocence and joy. This nostalgic longing for the past is encapsulated by the phrase “Goodbye, Rodríguez Peña de mi joyful youth,” which signifies a farewell not just to a place, but to an epoch in the author’s life filled with happiness and youthful energy. The tango, integral to this narrative, emerges as a symbol of the author’s prime years, embodying the essence of shared moments and cultural vibrance that were once widespread in his community.



Rodríguez Peña in Historic Context

Created in 1927, a pivotal period in Argentina’s history marked by social and technological changes, “Rodríguez Peña” reflects a common theme of transformation. The tango emerged during a time when Buenos Aires was rapidly modernizing, influencing how local communities perceived their transforming environments. The lyrics capture a sense of inevitable progress and the melancholia that accompanies the loss of familiar social landscapes, which might have felt particularly poignant during a time when the traditional was making way for the modern.
