Letra del Tango Sollozos

En un mundo de alegrías,
entre el humo y copas de champagne,
hay una almita afligida
que se esconde por llorar.
Atraído por su pena
mi pañuelo lágrimas secó,
mientras dijo: “Estoy enferma,
sufro y lloro por mi amor”.

Volvió su cara hacia mi lado,
acariciando su dolor.
Oí sollozos y cortados,
bajo habló: “Un hombre me engañó”.
Le dije: “Olvide su pasado,
olvide todo lo de ayer.
No llore si él no ha llorado,
ni pensó que sufre una mujer”.

Algo habría en su mirada
que no fue preciso adivinar,
ilusiones apagadas,
odio y ganas de vengar.
Dijo entonces que su vida
de pasión en pena se tornó.
Recordó felices días
a su vieja y su honor.

Pobre, su quebranto mi alma hirió,
que sin fuerzas me sentí,
cuando vi su relicario
y enseñó que el falso estaba allí.
Pobre, con cuanta tristeza vio
que por ella yo sufrí.
El pintar de sus labios,
la sonrisa para mí.

English lyrics of the Tango "Sollozos"

In a world of joy,
amid the smoke and champagne glasses,
there lies a troubled little soul
hiding to weep.
Drawn by her sorrow,
my handkerchief dried her tears,
as she said: “I am sick,
I suffer and cry for my love.”

She turned her face towards me,
caressing her pain.
I heard sobs and stutters,
she spoke softly: “A man deceived me.”
I told her: “Forget your past,
forget all about yesterday.
Do not cry if he has not cried,
nor thought of a woman’s suffering.”

There was something in her gaze
which needed no guessing,
extinguished dreams,
hatred, and a desire for revenge.
She then said that her life
turned from passion to sorrow.
She reminisced the happy days
to her old age and her honor.

Poor thing, her plight wounded my soul,
I felt weak,
when I saw her locket
and she showed that the false one was there.
Poor thing, with how much sadness she saw
that I suffered for her.
The painting of her lips,
the smile for me.

Story behind the Tango Sollozos

The lyrics of “Sollozos” portray the profound narrative of a heartbroken woman amidst a lively social setting filled with champagne and revelry. She confides in a sympathetic listener about her painful experiences of love and betrayal. The listener becomes emotionally involved, offering comfort and urging her to forget the past and move beyond her suffering. This reveals a poignant theme of acknowledging personal pain while surrounded by superficial happiness.

Symbolism of Sollozos

“Sollozos,” which translates to “Sobs” in English, symbolically highlights the contrast between external joy and internal sorrow. The imagery of “smoke and champagne” signifies a facade of celebration that masks the deeper emotional turmoil. The woman’s relicario (reliquary or locket) is a poignant symbol that carries the weight of her past love and betrayal, representing the lingering pain that cannot be easily discarded. Throughout the tango, language and metaphors focus on the discord between societal joy and individual grief, painting a vivid picture of emotional duplicity.

Sollozos in Historic Context

The composition of “Sollozos” in 1928 Argentina came during a period characterized by both cultural flourishing and complex societal transitions. The interwar period in Argentina was marked by significant urbanization and modernization, which often juxtaposed sharply with traditional values and personal strife. This setting reflects in the tango through its portrayal of personal pain amidst societal festivities. It mirrors the complex interplay between progressing societal norms and the enduring human experiences of love, betrayal, and heartache.
