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 problem with rare solutions

But I, having walked it much, concluded

To solve it, one needs the ranks

Of a sage, good brains, and some sense.

Anyone can live, be they fool or wise

The key is to live it knowing how to use,

The light of advice that following some response

To the reckless son, the elderly know to give.

“Pichín, don’t come home late”

The old lady used to tell me,

“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 anxiety.

But soon ended

Friends and women,

Revels and pleasures

And I was left alone…

Alone I remembered

The advice, the little house,

The love of my dear mother

And I cried with joy…!

From now on, I swear, my dear mother

I will be very good and will only think of,

Filling you with care, peace, and joy

Paying for the sleepless nights I always caused you.

From now on, I swear, my dear old lady,

I will be a man ready to work,

And if I happen to find her, I’ll bring home a little woman

Who with her sweet kisses, will brighten our home.

Te juro madre mía is a Tango written by José Sassone and composed by Juan Marini.



Story behind the Tango Te juro madre mía

The tango “Te juro madre mía” weaves a narrative of reflection and repentance from a son to his mother, highlighting the evolution from youthful recklessness to mature resolution. The author, through conversational and introspective lyrics, showcases a man recounting the frivolous ways of his past, including nights spent in superficial entertainment and disregard for his mother’s advice. The pivot of the song comes with a heartfelt vow to change, promising a future filled with care, work, and possibly love that respects the maternal sacrifices made for him.



Symbolism of Te juro madre mía

The poem extensively employs symbols to enhance its emotional impact. The “night,” depicted as cold and potentially harmful, symbolizes the dangers and loneliness of a misguided life. The imagery of “burning the fire of my fatal anxiety” suggests the intense yet destructive passions of youth. This contrasts with the tender images associated with the mother, like the “little house” and her love, symbolizing warmth, safety, and unconditional affection. The transformation from a life of ‘garufas’ (fun and parties) to one of contemplation and emotional maturity also plays a crucial symbolic role in illustrating the thematic journey from recklessness to responsibility.



Te juro madre mía in historic Context

Recorded in 1949 in Argentina, the song emerges in a post-World War II context where traditional values of family and community were being reaffirmed against the backdrop of global instability and change. The song captures a universal theme, reverberating the cultural emphasis on familial respect and the traditional role of the mother as a moral guide and caretaker. This period also saw the evolution of tango from a dance of the working-class neighborhoods to a globally recognized phenomenon, carrying with it the deep emotions and stories of ordinary life in Argentina.
