Letra del Tango Sentimiento gaucho

En un viejo almacén del Paseo Colón
donde van los que tienen perdida la fe,
todo sucio, harapiento, una tarde encontré
a un borracho sentado en oscuro rincón.
Al mirarle sentí una profunda emoción
porque en su alma un dolor secreto adiviné
y, sentándome cerca, a su lado, le hablé,
y él, entonces, me hizo esta cruel confesión.
Ponga, amigo, atención.

Sabe que es condición de varón el sufrir…
La mujer que yo quería con todo mi corazón
se me ha ido con un hombre que la supo seducir
y, aunque al irse mi alegría tras de ella se llevó,
no quisiera verla nunca… Que en la vida sea feliz
con el hombre que la tiene pa’ su bien… o qué sé yo.
Porque todo aquel amor que por ella yo sentí
lo cortó de un solo tajo con el filo’e su traición…

Pero inútil… No puedo, aunque quiera, olvidar
el recuerdo de la que fue mi único amor.
Para ella ha de ser como el trébol de olor
que perfuma al que la vida le va a arrancar.
Y, si acaso algún día quisiera volver
a mi lado otra vez, yo la he de perdonar.
Si por celos a un hombre se puede matar
se perdona cuando habla muy fuerte el querer
a cualquiera mujer.

English lyrics of the Tango "Sentimiento gaucho"

In an old warehouse on Paseo Colón
where go those who have lost their faith,
all dirty, tattered, one afternoon I found
a drunk sitting in a dark corner.
Looking at him, I felt a deep emotion
as I sensed a secret pain in his soul
and, sitting close, beside him, I spoke,
and then, he made this cruel confession.
Pay attention, my friend.

You know it’s a man’s condition to suffer…
The woman I loved with all my heart
has left me for a man who knew how to seduce her
and, although my joy departed with her,
I never want to see her again… May she be happy in life
with the man who has her for better or worse… or whatever.
For all the love I felt for her
was cut off in one stroke with the edge of her betrayal…

But it’s useless… I can’t, even if I want, forget
the memory of the one who was my only love.
For her, it should be like the fragrant clover
that scents those whom life is about to take.
And if, by chance, one day she wanted to return
to my side again, I would forgive her.
If out of jealousy a man can be killed
when love speaks very loudly
any woman is forgiven.

Story behind the Tango Sentimiento gaucho

The lyrics of “Sentimiento gaucho” unfold in a grim setting—an old storehouse along Paseo Colón, a place frequented by the despondent and lost souls. The speaker encounters a disheveled drunkard, hidden in the shadows, harboring a secret pain. This sparks a poignant conversation, whereupon the drunkard shares his heart-wrenching tale of love and betrayal. The story he recounts, filled with deep emotional scars, portrays his internal conflict between feelings of abandonment by the woman he loved dearly and his struggles with moving forward.



Symbolism of Sentimiento gaucho

The tango uses vivid symbols to express complex emotions. The “trébol de olor” (sweet clover), for instance, represents an indelible mark the speaker’s beloved left on him—a fragrance that persists despite the inevitable decay brought on by life’s hardships. The repeated contrast between suffering and happiness, love and betrayal, underscores the chaotic nature of human emotions. The use of the location “Paseo Colón” symbolizes a crossroad of past and present, illustrating the idea that every place holds memories, some darker than others.



Sentimiento gaucho in historic context

Released in 1948 in Argentina, “Sentimiento gaucho” arrives during a period marked by emotional nationalism and evolving social norms, particularly concerning gender roles and relationships. Post World War II Argentina was characterized by a strong sense of rediscovering and redefining national identities, which this tango reflects through its exploration of personal emotional turmoil against traditional concepts of masculinity (“Sabe que es condición de varón el sufrir”). This layer adds a deeper understanding of the acceptation of personal suffering as part of a man’s identity at that time.
