Letra del Tango TBC

Te besé
y te cabriaste
de tal manera
que te pusiste
hecha una fiera.
Y hasta quisiste,
sin más motivo,
darme el olivo
por ser audaz.

Total
no es para tanto,
no ves
que estaba ‘colo’.
Pensá
que fue uno sólo
y al fin
te va a gustar.
No digas que no,
que cuando sepas
besar,
dando la vida
serás
tu quien me pida
y sé
qué me dirás.

Bésame,
que no me enojo,
bésame,
como en el cine.
Un beso de pasión,
que al no poder respirar,
me detenga el corazón.
Bésame,
Negro querido,
el alma
dame en un beso
que me haga estremecer
la sensación
de ese placer.

English lyrics of the Tango "TBC"

I kissed you
and you reared up
in such a way
that you became
wild.
And you even wanted,
without any reason,
to leave me
for being daring.

After all,
it’s not such a big deal,
don’t you see
I was ‘mad’.
Think
it was just one
and eventually
you’re going to like it.
Don’t say no,
because when you learn
to kiss,
giving your all,
you will
be the one asking me
and I know
what you’ll say.

Kiss me,
I won’t get mad,
kiss me,
like in the movies.
A kiss of passion,
that makes me unable to breathe,
stopping my heart.
Kiss me,
my dear love,
give me your soul
in a kiss
that makes me shiver
from the sensation
of that pleasure.

TBC by Víctor Soliño

Story behind the Tango TBC

“TBC” dramatically encapsulates a moment of intimacy that escalates into a conflict and then resolves into a deeper affection. The lyrics narrate the protagonist kissing someone who initially reacts with anger but eventually seems to be encouraged to embrace the act of passionate kissing. This transition from conflict to affection serves as the crux of the tango, highlighting common themes of passion, misunderstanding, and reconciliation found in many tango lyrics.


Symbolism of TBC

In this tango, the kiss symbolizes both a bold move and a point of emotional connection. It’s described initially as an audacious act that sparks anger, symbolizing maybe a breach of expectation or etiquette. However, as the narrative progresses, the kiss transforms into a symbol of shared passion and desire for deeper connection. The recurring urging to “kiss like in the movies” suggests an idealization of passion and romance, possibly critiquing or evoking the dramatic, exaggerated expressions of love seen in cinema.


TBC in Historic Context

Recorded in 1960, “TBC” emerged during a period when tango was evolving in its expressions and was intertwined deeply with the cultural fabric of Argentina. This period was marked by a resurgence of traditional values mixed with modern influences, reflective in the way the tango suggests a blend of audacity with conventional romantic imagery. The reference to kissing “like in the movies” points to the growing influence of Hollywood and global cinema on local customs and expressions of love.
