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 storehouse on Paseo Colón,
where those who have lost their faith go,
all dirty, tattered, one afternoon I found
a drunkard sitting in a dark corner.
Looking at him, I felt a deep emotion
for in his soul, I sensed a secret pain,
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 left with her,
I never want to see her again… May she be happy
with the man who has her for better… or who knows what.
Because all the love I felt for her
was cut off in one blow by the edge of her betrayal…

But useless… I can’t, although I want to, forget
the memory of the one who was my only love.
To her, it must be like sweet clover,
that perfumes those life is about to tear away.
And, if by chance one day she wanted to return
to my side, I would forgive her.
If out of jealousy a man can kill,
forgiveness speaks when love calls loudly
for any woman.

Story behind the Tango Sentimiento gaucho

“Sentimiento gaucho” (Gaucho Feelings) tells the heart-wrenching tale of a man betrayed by love, reflecting the deep-seated emotions of sorrow, betrayal, and the complex, painful process of forgiveness. Found in a decrepit old store on Paseo Colón, the protagonist, a disheartened and unkempt drunk, shares his somber story with the narrator. This confession reveals his emotional turmoil over a loved one who left him for another, carrying away his joy yet still holding a sacred place in his heart.



Symbolism of Sentimiento gaucho

The tango features poignant symbolism and language, enhancing its emotional depth. The metaphor of the “trébol de olor” (scented clover) illustrates how his former lover remains a source of fragrance and beauty despite the pain she caused, symbolizing how deep affections persist even when they cause suffering. The “filo’e su traición” (the edge of her betrayal), sharply cuts through the fabric of his past feelings, signifying a deep and irreversible hurt. Such phrases expose not only personal grief but also a broader cultural depiction of passion and heartbreak.



Sentimiento gaucho in historic Context

Recorded in 1955, a period when Argentine Tango was resonating with expressions of individual sentiments and nationalistic pride, “Sentimiento gaucho” is situated in the bustling Paseo Colón, a historically significant avenue in Buenos Aires. This setting provides a backdrop that reflects the everyday struggles and emotional upheavals common among the city’s inhabitants during that era, emphasizing themes of loss, disillusionment, and resilience typical in tango narratives.
