Letra del Tango Te odio

Hay cosas que no tienen razón ni sentido,
hay hechos que no tienen explicación…
Así, al conocerte, mi gran cariño,
sin ley ni motivo, de golpe nació.
Viniste a embarullarme la dulce existencia
pues yo sin tus engaños ya era feliz.
¡Parece mentira que, siendo tan linda,
guardés ese fondo tan bajo y tan ruin!

Te odio, maldita;
te odio como antes te adoré…
Dios quiera que un día volvieras a mí
buscando refugio, vencida, sin fe.
Entonces podría
cobrarme tu traición…
¡Es tanto lo que te odio
que al verte sufrir me vengaré!

Sabés que todavía no puedo explicarme
por qué placer maldito me hiciste mal,
si yo por tu cariño dejé a mi madre,
enferma, solita, sin techo, sin pan.
Has roto mi existencia. ¡Cobarde y rastrera!
¿Por qué voy a tenerte conmiseración?,
si cuando agonice será mi postrera
palabra una eterna, fatal maldición.

English lyrics of the Tango "Te odio"

There are things that have neither reason nor sense,
there are facts that have no explanation…
Just like that, upon meeting you, my great beloved,
suddenly, without law or reason, love was born.
You came to complicate my sweet existence,
for I was already happy without your deceptions.
It seems a lie that, being so beautiful,
you’d keep such a low and vile core!

I hate you, cursed one;
I hate you as much as I adored you before…
May God wish that one day you’d come back to me,
seeking refuge, defeated, without faith.
Then I could
claim retribution for your betrayal…
I hate you so much
that seeing you suffer, I would revel in revenge!

You know I still can’t explain
why with wicked pleasure you did me wrong,
if for your love I left my mother,
ill, alone, without a roof, without bread.
You’ve broken my life. Coward and despicable!
Why should I have compassion for you?
If when I’m dying, my final
word will be an eternal, fatal curse.

Key phrases like “buscando refugio, vencida, sin fe” (seeking refuge, defeated, without faith) symbolize the downfall of the loved one, highlighting the theme of revenge. Furthermore, the constant interplay between past adoration and present hate enriches the emotional landscape of the Tango.
