Estoy pagando la culpa

De todo lo que te hice,

La vida fue la revancha

Que nunca soñaste vos.

Y llevo dentro del pecho

Aquello que no te dicen,

El llorar por las cenizas

Que quedaron de los dos.

Hoy que comprendo las cosas

Qué tarde me arrepiento,

Y me falta tu cariño

Que un mal día desprecié.

Ese amor que siempre, siempre

Me dejó el presentimiento,

De que nunca en mi camino

Miraría a otra mujer.

Quiero llorar y no puedo

Quiero olvidar y es en vano,

Si con sangre de mi herida,

Me está gritando la vida

Que estamos los dos a mano.

Estamos los dos a mano

Sin consuelo y sin perdón,

Pagando por ese orgullo,

Tanto mío como tuyo

Que lastimó el corazón…

English lyrics of the Tango "Sentimiento de bohemio"

I’m paying the price

For all that I did to you,

Life was the revenge

You never dreamed of.

And deep within my chest

Lies what they don’t tell you,

Crying over the ashes

Of what was once us both.

Now that I understand things

How late I regret,

And I miss your love

Which I once foolishly spurned.

That love that always, always

Gave me the premonition,

That never in my path

Would I look at another woman.

I want to cry and I can’t

I want to forget and it’s in vain,

If with the blood of my wound,

Life is screaming at me

That we are both even now.

We are both even now

Without consolation and without forgiveness,

Paying for that pride,

Both mine and yours

That hurt the heart…

Story behind the Tango Sentimiento de bohemio

In “Sentimiento de bohemio,” Roberto Giménez articulates a journey of deep regret and self-reckoning. The lyrics narrate the story of a person who is confronting the emotional aftermath of their actions towards someone they loved. The protagonist reflects on how they are experiencing the consequences (“culpa”) of their past behavior, emphasizing a sense of lost love that can never be reclaimed. This poignant reflection is underscored by the acknowledgment of their failure to appreciate the affection and devotion that was once offered to them.

Symbolism of Sentimiento de bohemio

The use of phrases such as “El llorar por las cenizas” (Crying over the ashes) signifies mourning over what is irretrievably lost — the remnants of a once vibrant relationship. The imagery of ashes connotes something that was consumed by fire, perhaps suggesting love that was once intense but now has burned out, leaving nothing but remnants to grieve over. The repetition of the phrase “Quiero llorar y no puedo” (I want to cry but I can’t) highlights a profound internal struggle, indicating a deep emotional blockage despite the overwhelming urge to express sorrow.
