Letra del Tango Rodríguez Peña

Llora mi corazón
en el silencio del arrabal
al ver que todo cambiado está.
Honda recordación
del romancesco pasado aquel
que tanto amé.

Adiós, Rodríguez Peña de mi alegre juventud.
Rincón que al evocar me acerca al tierno bien
que fuera como un astro del hermoso ensueño azul
que en mi rodar incierto no olvidé
y mi tango que se hermana con mi gran sentir
suspira al comprender que ya no volverán
las tardes y las noches que contento compartí
con los muchachos de ese tiempo ideal.

Tango de mis glorias,
que repito con mi fiel canción,
tango que sonriendo
con mi diosa lo bailé.
Quiero, tango lindo,
que me arrulles con tu dulce voz,
como aquellos días
venturosos del ayer.

English lyrics of the Tango "Rodríguez Peña"

My heart cries
in the silence of the suburb
seeing everything has changed.
Deep reminiscence
of that romantic past
which I loved so much.

Goodbye, Rodríguez Peña of my joyful youth.
Corner that, when recalled, brings me near to the tender good
that was like a star in the beautiful blue dream
that in my uncertain wandering, I did not forget,
and my tango, which merges with my deep feelings,
sighs understanding that they will not return,
the afternoons and nights I happily shared
with the friends of that ideal time.

Tango of my glories,
that I repeat with my faithful song,
tango that smiling
I danced with my goddess.
I want, lovely tango,
you to lull me with your sweet voice,
like those days
blissful of yesterday.

Story behind the Tango Rodríguez Peña

Rodríguez Peña is a poetic reflection on the passing of time and nostalgia for youth. The lyrics encapsulate a deep yearning for the past, celebrating moments once shared in the vibrant ambiance of the arrabal (the outskirts or working-class neighborhoods of Buenos Aires). The narrator expresses a heartfelt lament for ‘Rodríguez Peña,’ a place tied to joyous memories, youthful romance, and camaraderie. The tango paints a picture of days gone by, filled with emotion and longing.

Phrases like “Llora mi corazón” signify internal sadness and longing while “silencio del arrabal” evokes a sense of stillness and loss in once-lively neighborhoods. “Rodríguez Peña de mi alegre juventud” is a symbolic representation of a cherished past location, a corner where youthful dreams and experiences unfolded. The tango itself becomes a character, a faithful ally to the narrator, embodying the joys and sorrows of past glories, as seen in “tango de mis glorias” and “quiero, tango lindo.”
