Letra del Tango Te juro madre mía

La vida es un problema de raras soluciones
Mas yo, de tanto andarla, saqué por conclusión,
Que para resolverla, hay que tener galones
De sabio, buenos sesos y un poco de razón.
Vivir cualquiera vive, ya sea rana o sonso
El caso está en vivirla sabiendo aprovechar,
La luz de los consejos que tras algún responso
Al hijo calavera, los viejos saben dar.

“Pichín, no vengas tarde”
La vieja me decía,
“Mirá, la noche es fría
y puede hacerte mal…”
Y yo como un otario
Sin atender sus ruegos,
Seguí quemando el fuego
De mi ansiedad fatal.
Mas pronto terminaron
Amigos y mujeres,
Garufas y placeres
Y solo me quedé…
A solas recordaba
Los consejos, la casita,
El amor de mi viejita
Y de alegría lloré…!

Desde hoy en adelante, te juro madre mía
Que voy a ser muy bueno y sólo pensaré,
Llenarte de cuidados, de paz y de alegría
Pagando los desvelos que siempre te causé.
Desde hoy en adelante, te juro mi viejita,
Que voy a ser un hombre dispuesto a trabajar,
Y si es que llego a hallarla, traeré una mujercita
Que con sus dulces besos, alegre nuestro hogar.

English lyrics of the Tango "Te juro madre mía"

Life is a puzzle of rare solutions
But I, from wandering so much, concluded
That to solve it, you need stripes
Of wisdom, good brains, and a bit of reason.
Anyone can live, whether a fool or sage
The trick is to live it knowing how to use
The light of advice that after some response
To the wayward son, the elders can give.

“Pichín, don’t come home late”
My mother used to say,
“Look, the night is cold
and it might harm you…”
And I, like a fool,
Ignoring her pleas,
Continued to burn
The fire of my dire yearning.
But soon ended
Friends and women,
Revelry and pleasures
And I was left alone…
Alone I remembered
The advice, the little house,
The love of my dear mother
And I wept with joy…!

From now on, I swear, dear mother
I will be very good and only think
Of filling you with care, peace, and joy
Paying back the sleepless nights I always caused.
From now on, I swear, my dear little mother,
I will be a man ready to work,
And if I find her, I’ll bring home a woman
Whose sweet kisses will brighten our home.

The protagonist, often referred to as “Pichín,” narrates a series of realizations stemming from a life of frivolity, which included late nights and momentary pleasures that ultimately left him alone.
