Tarareando is a Tango written by an unnamed author and composed by Juan José Guichandut.
Tarareando narrates a journey through life’s adversities, where the protagonist turns to humming (“tarareando”) as a way to uplift his spirit and mask his pain. The lyrics convey an introspective reflection on dealing with heartache and disappointment, while maintaining an outward facade of cheerfulness and resilience. The act of humming serves both as a personal comfort and a shield from the world, allowing the protagonist to continue living life with a semblance of joy despite internal turmoil.
The repeated motif of humming (“tarararí, tarará”) symbolizes an inner strength and resilience amidst life’s trials. It acts as a defense mechanism, hiding the true emotions of the protagonist. The phrase “aunque sangre por una herida” highlights the depth of personal pain, contrasting with “a flor de labios tengo un cantar,” where the act of singing uplifts outwardly. The line “las penas voy ocultando” reinforces the theme of hiding sorrow. Similarly, “curtido de desengaños” suggests a sense of being seasoned by life’s betrayals, emphasizing a pragmatic approach to life’s challenges.
Created in 1942 Buenos Aires, “Tarareando” reflects the turbulent mood of a world recovering from global conflict and local political unrest. Buenos Aires, a vibrant hub of tango culture, epitomized both the beauty and the strife of this era. The lyrics speak to a universal experience of resilience amidst hardship, resonating with those who lived through World War II and the socio-economic challenges of the time. The cultural norm of emotional strength and perseverance is captured in the daily life of Buenos Aires residents.
Juan José Guichandut was a notable figure in the tango scene of Buenos Aires during the mid-20th century, contributing to the rich musical heritage with his compositions that resonate deeply with the human experience.
