Letra del Tango Somos los dos

Somos los dos para retar al mundo,
los dos en soledad trás la neblina.
Hay que vivir siguiendo la rutina,
y es infinito el tiempo de un segundo…
En cada corazón se da una esquina,
la gente es insolente y desleal,
somos los dos para doblar la esquina,
somos los dos cruzando el lodazal.

Los dos, nomás, los dos,
sin otra voz que aplaste la maldad,
de la ciudad feroz.
Somos los dos, pero esta vez
está mirando Dios y somos tres.
Los dos, nomás,
los dos sin antifaz,
sin miedo a este demente,
gritar, el más audaz.
los dos, nomás, los dos,
es suficiente,
los dos frente a la gente,
y junto a Dios.

English lyrics of the Tango "Somos los dos"

We are the two to challenge the world,
the two alone behind the mist.
We must live following the routine,
and the time of a second is endless…
In every heart there’s a corner,
people are rude and disloyal,
we are the two to turn the corner,
we are the two crossing the mire.

Just us two, us two,
with no other voice to crush the evil,
of the fierce city.
It’s just us two, but this time
God is watching and we are three.
Just us two,
us two without a mask,
without fear of this madman,
the boldest to shout.
Just us two, us two,
it’s enough,
us two in front of people,
and beside God.

Story behind the Tango Somos los dos

The song “Somos los dos” (We Are Both) intricately captures the essence of two individuals united against adversity, navigating through the complexities and isolation brought upon by the world around them. The lyrics suggest a struggle against a routine life, with each moment both fleeting and eternal. It paints a picture of the protagonists as they face the world, intimating that their solidarity is their strength. Lucidly, it implies a thoughtful resistance, not just against the external world, but also against their internal turmoils and societal expectations.



Symbolism of Somos los dos

“Somos los dos para retar al mundo,” highlights the main theme of companionship against external odds. The imagery of “loaving through the fog” and “crossing the mud” symbolizes the trials and the murky, unclear paths the protagonists must tread. The recurrent reference to the two characters as a singular unit against the world strengthens the theme of solidarity. The phrase “Somos los dos, pero esta vez está mirando Dios y somos tres,” introduces a spiritual dimension, suggesting that their journey is watched over, or sanctified by a higher power, transforming their duo into a trinity in their most critical moments.



Somos los dos in historic Context

Recorded in 1971 in Argentina, a period marked by social and political unrest, “Somos los dos” resonates with themes of dissent and resilience. This era, leading up to significant political strife, including the Dirty War, saw individuals and groups challenging established norms and authority. The song might subtly reflect this climate, evoking a sense of companionship in rebellion against societal corruption (“la gente es insolente y desleal”) and injustice. It metaphorically captures the essence of people’s resilience and the strength found in solidarity.
