Letra del Tango Soy ladrón de tu corazón

Soy ladrón de un corazón y he pecado
Condenado por los siglos al dolor,
Cuántas noches mi obsesión se vuelve insomnio
Le he robado a una santa el corazón.

Castigada por mi amor que es imposible
A vivir ante el infierno de su honor,
A romperla y a romper por lo intangible
Y soñar con el pecado de este amor.

Cuando la tarde queda sin luz
Qué triste estoy.
Y la luna llena, por el cristal
Forma mi cruz.
Cuando está el fantasma de tu amor
Es mi dolor, tu amor que quema en mi conciencia,
Y que me grita: “Sos un ladrón”.
Y que me grita: “Sos un ladrón”.

English lyrics of the Tango "Soy ladrón de tu corazón"

I’m a thief of a heart and have sinned,
Doomed for centuries to pain,
How many nights my obsession turns to insomnia,
I’ve stolen the heart of a saint.

Punished by my love, which is impossible,
To live before the hell of her honor,
To break her and break through the intangible,
And dream of the sin of this love.

When the evening remains unlit,
How sad I am.
And the full moon through the glass
Forms my cross.
When the phantom of your love is present,
It’s my pain, your love that burns in my conscience,
Shouting at me: “You are a thief.”
Shouting at me: “You are a thief.”

Story behind the Tango Soy ladrón de tu corazón

Soy ladrón de tu corazón translates to “I am a thief of your heart” in English, conveying the central theme of yearning and remorse. The protagonist confesses to being a “thief,” not in the literal sense, but metaphorically, having stolen someone’s heart. The lyrics express deep emotional turmoil and guilt associated with unrequited or forbidden love. The singer describes his love as an impossible one, tainted by sin, as he has “stolen the heart of a saint,” emphasizing the suffering involved in loving someone he perhaps should not.



Symbolism of Soy ladrón de tu corazón

The tango uses strong religious imagery and symbols of guilt to enhance the emotional weight of the narrative. Words like “condenado” (condemned), “pecado” (sin), and “santa” (saint) evoke a sacrilegious aspect to the love described, marking it as forbidden and morally complex. The repeated phrase, “Y que me grita: ‘Sos un ladrón'” (“And it shouts to me: ‘You are a thief'”), serves as a haunting reminder of the protagonist’s moral conflict, suggesting that his actions are not just a theft of affection but also a theft from his own ethical peace.



Soy ladrón de tu corazón in historic Context

The tango was written in 1962, a time when Argentina was experiencing significant political and social changes. The genre of tango often reflected the sentiments of its time, expressing emotions of despair, passion, and melancholy. The lamenting tone of this song and its motifs of internal conflict might subtly mirror the broader existential and societal angst of the era. Additionally, the use of vivid, almost cinematic imagery in describing spiritual and emotional torment resonates with the melodramatic tendencies of tango lyrics, intending to evoke a deep empathetic response from the listener.

Juan Polito was an influential composer and pianist in the realm of Argentine Tango, known for his profound contributions to the genre.
