Letra del Tango Siete palabras

¿No ves qué dolor,
qué pesar le quedó
a mi fiel y angustiado corazón?
Desde aquel día
que vos te fuiste,
mi vida paso
fulero y triste…
Qué mal te portaste
con el que te supo querer
sin falsía y con amor.
Y vos echaste todo al olvido,
lo que yo he sido para vos…

Yo jamás iba a pensar
pagaras vos tan mal
todo aquel bien
que con amor te supe hacer.
De la calle te saqué
pa’ no verte padecer.
Y aquí en mi pobre bulín
calmaste tu sufrir,
tu padecer y hallaste en mí
a un hombre fiel
que supo darte calor de nido,
abrigo y un puchero pa’ comer.

Te faltó la valentía
pa’ decirme: ¡Chau me voy…
me voy con otro de más hombría,
que ya estoy harta de vos!
Sólo hallé, sobre la mesa,
escritas en un papel,
siete palabras que componían
tu despedida cruel.

English lyrics of the Tango "Siete palabras"

Can’t you see what pain,
what sorrow remained
for my loyal and anguished heart?
Since that day
you went away,
my life became
ugly and sad…
How badly you treated
the one who loved you
truly and with love.
And you cast everything into oblivion,
what I had been to you…

I never thought
you’d repay so badly
all the good
I did for you with love.
I took you off the streets
so you wouldn’t suffer.
And here in my humble room
you eased your suffering,
your distress, and you found in me
a faithful man
who gave you a cozy nest,
shelter, and a meal to share.

You lacked the courage
to tell me: Bye, I’m leaving…
I’m leaving with a more manly man,
because I’m fed up with you!
I just found on the table,
written on a piece of paper,
seven words that made up
your cruel farewell.

Story behind the Tango Siete palabras

The tango “Siete palabras” delves into a narrative of heartbreak and betrayal. It conveys the poignant story of a lover abandoned and left to grapple with this desertion’s emotional aftermath. The lyrics illustrate the narrator’s lingering pain and astonishment after being left by a deceitful partner. This personal turmoil is highlighted by the vivid portrayal of a relationship once built on genuine affection, now reduced to a memory due to the partner’s unexpected departure.

Symbolism of Siete palabras

In “Siete palabras,” symbolism plays a crucial role in enhancing emotional depth. The recurring theme of written words, represented by the “siete palabras” (seven words) left on a piece of paper, symbolizes the cold finality of the breakup. This scant farewell underscores the lack of communication and cowardice in how the relationship ends. The phrase “calmaste tu sufrir” (you calmed your suffering) symbolizes the shelter and comfort the narrator provided, highlighting the betrayal’s gravity. The mention of “calor de nido” (warmth of home) and “puchero pa’ comer” (food to eat) invokes domesticity and security, intensifying the sense of loss and ingratitude.

Siete palabras in historic Context

Created in 1945 Buenos Aires, “Siete palabras” reflects the cultural complexities of post-World War II Argentina. During this era, tango was evolving from a dance form to a profound expression of personal and national identity. The themes of love, betrayal, and nostalgia mirror broader societal sentiments in a country dealing with economic instability and social change. The urban setting, with references to “calle” (street) and “bulín” (humble abode), situates the narrative within the bustling yet intimate spaces of Buenos Aires, a city known for its tango culture.

Juan Maglio was an influential Argentine tango musician and composer, known for his contributions to the early development of tango music.
