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,
among smoke and glasses of champagne,
there’s a little soul distressed
that hides to weep.
Drawn to 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, brokenly,
she whispered: “A man deceived me”.
I said, “Forget your past,
forget all that was yesterday.
Do not cry if he has not cried,
nor thought of a woman’s suffering”.

There was something in her gaze
that needed no guessing,
extinguished hopes,
hatred and a desire for revenge.
She then said her life
turned from passion to sorrow.
Recalling happy days
to her mother and her honor.

Poor thing, her affliction struck my soul,
leaving me feeling weak,
when I saw her locket
and it showed that the betrayer was there.
Poor thing, with such sadness she saw
that I suffered for her.
The painting of her lips,
the smile for me.

Story behind the Tango Sollozos

“Sollozos” captures a poignant tale set amidst a backdrop of apparent joy and luxury, characterized by champagne and laughter, where a hidden heartache prevails. The lyrics tell the story of a soul, afflicted and concealed, crying in the shadows of a festive atmosphere. A compassionate observer offers comfort, wiping away tears with a handkerchief while unveiling a tale of betrayal and lost love. The narrative progresses through a conversation between the observer and the sorrowful lady, revealing her pain rooted in the deceit of a man she loved.



Symbolism of Sollozos

The term “Sollozos” translates to “Sobs” in English, symbolizing the profound and uncontrollable grief expressed quietly in the midst of a bustling, joyous setting. Significant phrases such as “estoy enferma” (I am sick) and “sufro y lloro por mi amor” (I suffer and cry for my love) emphasize the inner turmoil and emotional ailment caused by heartbreak. The use of a handkerchief to dry her tears symbolizes an attempt to absorb and alleviate her pain. Furthermore, the contrasting imagery of the false lover preserved in her locket versus the genuine concern shown by the narrator offers a deep symbolic dichotomy between betrayal and empathy.
