Letra del Tango Seis días

Van seis días que no vienes,

que no me escribes,

que no me llamas.

Van seis días que me tienes

sin explicarme lo que te pasa.

Y al presentir que te pierdo,

con toda mi alma te llamo,

porque sin verte me muero

y en mi angustia solo entiendo

que te quiero y que te extraño.

Fue el rigor de tu silencio

que hace un infierno de mi vivir.



Día y noche me paso

llorando y pensando

que todo ha cambiado.

Día y noche llorando,

llorando y mojando

con llanto un retrato.

Tu retrato donde está escrito

de tu mano ‘para siempre mi amor’,

si rompiendo el retrato

pudiera borrarte de mi corazón.



Van seis días que me amargo

con pensamientos que me maltratan.

Van seis días, ya muy largos

para esta espera sin esperanza.

Porque ya se que es en vano

que esté esperando tu carta.

Tu presencia, tu llamado,

si muy claro me has mostrado

que mi amor no te hace falta.

Cruel dolor del desencanto

que hiere tanto con su rigor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Seis días"

It’s been six days since you visited,

since you wrote me,

since you called.

It’s been six days you’ve kept me

without explaining what’s going on.

And sensing that I’m losing you,

with all my soul I call you,

because without seeing you I’m dying

and in my anguish I only understand

that I love you and I miss you.

It was the severity of your silence

that turns my life into hell.

Day and night I spend

crying and thinking

that everything has changed.

Day and night crying,

crying and wetting

a portrait with tears.

Your portrait where it’s written

by your hand ‘forever my love’,

if by breaking the portrait

I could erase you from my heart.

It’s been six days that I’ve been bitter

with thoughts that torment me.

It’s been six days, now very long

for this hopeless wait.

Because I already know it’s in vain

that I’m waiting for your letter.

Your presence, your call,

if you’ve clearly shown me

that my love is not needed.

Cruel pain of disenchantment

that wounds so deeply with its severity.

Story behind the Tango Seis días

“Seis días” portrays a tale of heartache and longing, set in a week of silence and distance. The narrator expresses profound sadness and confusion caused by the sudden absence of a loved one, who has neither called nor written in six days. This separation leads to a mix of despair and a desperate hope for reconciliation. Each verse amplifies the emotional suffering experienced by the narrator as they grapple with the possibility of being abandoned, creating a vivid depiction of personal anguish.



Symbolism of Seis días

The lyrics of “Seis días” are rich in symbolism. The repeated reference to “six days” underscores the agony of waiting and the slow passage of time when one is burdened by sorrow. Emphasizing this duration indicates how every moment feels extended and laden with despair when separated from a loved one. The “portrait” mentioned in the lyrics symbolizes the lingering memories and the physical representation of the loved one, soaked with the narrator’s tears. This image serves as a poignant reminder of what has been and perhaps what is lost, conveying deeper layers of emotional attachment and loss.



Seis días in Historic Context

“Seis días” was created in 1945, a period marked by significant global turmoil toward the end of World War II. Although distant from the main theaters of war, Argentina was experiencing its own internal shifts and uncertainties during this time. Such a historic backdrop might have intensified feelings of loss, uncertainty, and despair, common themes in tango music that resonate with personal upheavals. The timing of this song’s creation adds a layer of collective melancholy and personal agony, reflecting the broader atmosphere of uncertainty prevalent during that era.
