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 store on Paseo Colón,
where those who have lost their faith go,
all dirty, ragged, 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, by his side, I spoke to him,
and then, he gave me this cruel confession.
Pay attention, 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 happiness followed her as she left,
I would never want to see her… May she be happy in life
with the man who holds her for good… or who knows.
Because all that love I felt for her
was severed in one stroke by the edge of her betrayal…

But it’s useless… I cannot, even if I want to, forget
the memory of the one who was my only love.
For her, it must be like the fragrant clover
that scents those whom life is about to pluck.
And if someday she wanted to come back
to my side again, I would forgive her.
If out of jealousy a man can be killed,
forgiveness comes when love speaks very loudly
to any woman.

Story behind the Tango Sentimiento Gaucho

In “Sentimiento Gaucho,” the story unfolds in an old warehouse along Paseo Colón, a setting that hints at neglect and loss. The narrator encounters a disheveled, drunken man secluded in the corner, a visual representation of defeat and despair. This man, once swallowed by his sorrow and intoxication, shares his story of love lost and betrayal, revealing the depths of his torn soul. Through his confession, listeners are drawn into an emotive narrative of love, infidelity, and the painful endeavor to forgive.



Symbolism of Sentimiento Gaucho

The song uses rich symbolism and language to amplify the emotional intensity. The contrast between the physical and emotional states represented by the “dirty, ragged” man and his profound inner suffering underscores the disconnect between appearance and reality. The phrases such as “trébol de olor” (sweet clover) symbolize respect and love that persist despite the pain caused by the beloved. This enduring fragrance of clover, even when life tries to tear it apart, metaphorically portrays undying affection amidst suffering.



Sentimiento Gaucho in Historic Context

Written and located in Argentina in the 1960s, “Sentimiento Gaucho” reflects the social and cultural underpinnings of its time, where sentiments of passion, betrayal, and chivalrous notions of masculinity were deeply woven into the fabric of society. The term ‘gaucho’ itself, historically representing the skilled horsemen of the plains, in this context, might evoke an ideal of rugged individualism and stoic endurance in the face of hardship, resonating deeply with the emotional and cultural landscape of mid-20th-century Argentina.
