Letra del Tango Se acabo la mishiadura

Buenos Aires ´ta de bute. Hoy la guita anda bailando
Todo el mundo tiene vento, se ha forrado el pantalón…
Se acabó la mishiadura… Hoy no ves salir mangando
Y el que era flaco y alto, es petiso y barrigón.

Cualquier grasa se da dique con un cien en la cartera,
Mete escombro en un boliche cuando el paco va a sacar,
Se da corte con un auto pa´ llegar a la primera
En la cuarta queda seco, pero en casa hay pa´ tallar.

Al Casino en Mar del Plata
Va lo mismo el zapatero,
El bacán y el verdulero
Misturados en montón…
¡Hasta el preso está de bute!
¡Le quitaron la rayada!
Todo marcha viento en popa…
¡Esto sí que es realidad!

Hoy cualquiera toma un taxi y no va de infantería
Tanto el rico como el pobre ya no llevan distinción…
Yo recuerdo aquellos tiempos que manguillos no tenía
Y pa´ entrar en un bailongo me colaba de garrón.

Todo el mundo está en la gloria… ¡Se acabó la mishiadura!
Buenos Aires, los billetes hay que hacerlos circular…
Y si alguno patalea, ya no tiene compostura
¡Que se compre dos bufosos y se tire a amasijar!…

English lyrics of the Tango "Se acabo la mishiadura"

Buenos Aires is thriving. Today, money is flowing,
Everyone’s got cash, pants pockets are bulging…
Gone are the days of scarcity… no one’s seen begging
And those who were tall and skinny, are now short and plump.

Any fool can flaunt with a hundred in their wallet,
Throws money around in bars when pulling out a bill,
Shows off with a car to get to the top
Might end up broke in the fourth, but at home, there’s still a feast.

To the Casino in Mar del Plata
Go the cobbler,
The posh and the greengrocer
Mixed all together…
Even the prisoner’s doing well!
His uniform’s gone!
Everything’s running smoothly…
This is indeed reality!

Now anyone can take a taxi, not just march on foot
Both rich and poor alike, distinction no longer holds…
I remember those days I had no cash
And to get into a dance, I’d sneak in free of charge.

Everyone’s in heaven… The bad old days are gone!
In Buenos Aires, it’s time to make the money circulate…
And if someone still complains, they’ve got no decorum
Let them buy a couple of guns and go off to fight!

Se acabo la mishiadura is a Tango written by José Paradizo and composed by Enrique Rodríguez.



Story behind the Tango Se acabo la mishiadura

“Se acabo la mishiadura” translates to “The misery is over” in English. The lyrics reflect a post-war Buenos Aires abundant in newfound wealth. The tango visualizes an era where the scarcity and struggles of the past have given way to extravagance and prosperity. José Paradizo paints a picture of transformation where those previously ensnared in poverty are now flourishing. This transformation is evident as people, once desperate, no longer beg, and even a man once slim from suffering now appears chubby from indulgence.



Symbolism of Se acabo la mishiadura

The song uses vivid imagery and symbols to depict socioeconomic changes. Terms like “bute” (well-being) and descriptions of ordinary people like shoemakers and grocers gambling in casinos evoke a sense of societal upturn. Paradizo leverages contrasts between past and present to delineate the depth of change, using cars and taxis as symbols of luxury that have become commonplace, representing accessibility to previously unattainable status symbols. Another powerful image is the transformation of a prison uniform (“Le quitaron la rayada”), suggesting a broader societal liberation.



Se acabo la mishiadura in historic Context

Recorded in 1950, post-World War II Argentina was undergoing significant economic changes, marked by industrial growth and urban development. The period saw a shift from traditional rural structures to more urbanized, economically diverse settings, which is referenced throughout the tango. This backdrop is crucial in understanding the jubilant tone of the song, celebrating the end of economic hardships that characterized earlier decades.
