Letra del Tango Soy del 90

Soy de ese tiempo sincero,
cuando nadie mezquinaba
de tomar la caña brava
sobre un estaño esquinero.
Siempre si vi soy entero,
derecho, guapo, cordial.
Y soy tosco, franco y leal,
porque mi vida refleja,
un sabor de cosas viejas,
y el alma del arrabal.

Soy milonguero de ayer,
soy del noventa.
Pa’ que lo sepa señor,
tuve mis mentas.
Lindo tiempo para ver
las cosas que ahora se cuentan.
Soy milonguero de ley,
soy del ayer,
soy del noventa.

Soy del tiempo de los buenos,
soy humilde como cobre,
pa’ mi un rico vale un pobre.
Siempre y cuando vaya a menos
yo no conozco el veneno
del que vive pa’ enviadiar.
Y no sé qué es aflojar
cuando la suerte se aleja.
Yo soy de la guardia vieja,
pa’ lo que gusten mandar.

English lyrics of the Tango "Soy del 90"

I’m from that sincere time,
when no one stinted
on sipping fiery rum
at a corner bar.
I’m always honest and complete,
upright, brave, and warm.
And I’m rough, frank, and loyal,
for my life mirrors
a taste of old things,
and the soul of the slums.

I’m a milonguero of the past,
from the ’90s.
Just so you know, sir,
I had my moments.
A beautiful time to witness
the things that are now recounted.
I’m a milonguero by law,
from yesterday,
from the ’90s.

I’m from the time of the good ones,
humble as copper,
for me, a rich is worth a poor.
As long as it goes down,
I don’t know the poison
of those who live to envy.
And I don’t know what it is to give up
when luck drifts away.
I’m from the old guard,
at your service, whatever you command.

Story behind the Tango Soy del 90

“Soy del 90” encapsulates a narration of self-identity rooted deeply in the values of a bygone era. The speaker in the lyrics identifies strongly with the 1990s, a time portrayed as honest and straightforward, devoid of pretense. The frequent invocation of “soy” (I am) throughout the song underscores a proud declaration of identity. The lyrics reminisce about a simpler time characterized by transparency in actions and purity in intentions, where social interactions were direct and unguarded.



Symbolism of Soy del 90

This Tango employs powerful symbolism to conjure nostalgia and a connection to the past. “Tomar la caña brava sobre un estaño esquinero,” referring to drinking strong liquor at a bar’s corner, symbolizes straightforward behavior, communal gathering, and perhaps a spirit of resilience. The mention of “cobre” as humble and the equivocation of the rich and the poor highlight a societal vision of equality and honor. The phrase “guardia vieja,” translating to “old guard,” symbolically represents adherence to traditional values and the old ways of living and thinking.
