Letra del Tango Señor señor

Señor de los buenos, Señor de los tristes
Que por noble y bueno estás en la cruz,
Tú que por los hombres, la sangre vertiste
Desciende a la tierra, derrama tu luz…

No oirás a los hombres hablar de otra cosa
Que de hambre, de guerra, de pólvora y gas,
El odio se viste de frases hermosas
Y va agazapada, la muerte detrás…

Señor, por las almas de todos los hombres
Que hallaron la muerte sin irla a buscar,
Y hoy duermen su sueño, sin cruz y sin nombre
En tanto que el hambre, se ensaña en su hogar…

Señor, haz que cese la guerra maldita
Se abracen los hombres y no luchen más,
Y haz con tu divina piedad infinita
De cada trinchera un templo de paz…

Por todas las madres enfermas de ausencia
Y por las privadas de todo sostén,
Despierta a los hombres, alumbra conciencias
Y harás que se apaguen los odios… Amén…

English lyrics of the Tango "Señor señor"

Lord of the good, Lord of the sorrowful,
Noble and good, upon the cross,
You who for mankind, spilled your blood,
Descend to earth, scatter your light…

You won’t hear men speak of anything
But of hunger, war, gunpowder, and gas,
Hatred dresses itself in beautiful phrases,
And lurking behind, death follows close…

Lord, for the souls of all men
Who met death without seeking it,
And now sleep their dream, without cross and without name,
While famine furiously rages in their home…

Lord, make the cursed war cease,
Let men embrace and fight no more,
And with your divine and infinite mercy,
Turn each trench into a temple of peace…

For all the mothers sick with absence,
And those deprived of all support,
Awaken people, light up consciences,
And you will extinguish the hatreds… Amen…

Story behind the Tango Señor señor

The lyrics of “Señor señor” are a heartfelt plea for divine intervention during a time of global strife and suffering. Written during the height of World War II, the song reflects the widespread desire for peace and the deep sorrow caused by the war. The speaker addresses the divine, referring to it as “Señor de los buenos, Señor de los tristes,” highlighting that both the good and the sad look up to this higher power for hope. The repeated requests for the cessation of war and for turning battlefields into temples of peace echo the collective plea of humanity ravaged by conflict.



Symbolism of Señor señor

Symbolism in “Señor señor” is rich, drawing from religious and war imagery to convey its messages. The mention of blood (“la sangre vertiste”) symbolizes sacrifice and the severe toll of war, while the plea to “derrama tu luz” represents a yearning for enlightenment and guidance amidst darkness. The transformation of a trench into a “templo de paz” serves as a powerful symbol of converting places of violence into sanctuaries of peace. This poignant imagery not only magnifies the horrors of war but also the profound human longing for reconciliation and healing.



Señor señor in historic Context

In Argentina, though neutral for much of the war, the impact was felt through economic and social upheavals. This tango, with its emotive call for peace and mercy, resonates with the collective anxiety of the time, serving as both a lament and a prayer amidst global turmoil. The mention of hunger, war, and the indirect effects of such conflicts on families, particularly through lines highlighting the plight of mothers, illustrates the song’s deep connection to the lived experiences of its contemporary audience.
