Letra del Tango Tu angustia y mi dolor

¿Cómo pedirle a tu rosal
que no te brinde rosas?
¿Quién puede acaso silenciar
al ave melodiosa?
¿Cómo a la fuente suplicar
que no te diga cosas?
Eso es pedirle al corazón
que dé por muerta la ilusión
que alienta en cada palpitar.

¡No!
¡No puede ser lo que me pides!
¡No!
¿Cómo es posible que te olvide?
¿Quién quiere apartarte de mi vida?
Adiviné algo extraño
en nuestra despedida.
Hoy,
por tu ventana iluminada
vi,
que tú llorabas desolada
y
mi pobre sombra enamorada
lloró tu angustia y mi dolor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Tu angustia y mi dolor"

How can I ask your rose bush
not to give you roses?
Who can indeed silence
the melodious bird?
How to beseech the fountain
not to speak to you tenderly?
That is like asking the heart
to consider hope as dead,
which lives in every beat.

No!
What you’re asking can’t be right!
No!
How could I possibly forget you?
Who wants to remove you from my life?
I sensed something strange
in our farewell.
Today,
by your lighted window
I saw,
you were weeping helplessly
and
my poor lovesick shadow
cried over your anguish and my pain.

Story behind the Tango Tu angustia y mi dolor

The tango “Tu angustia y mi dolor” delves deeply into themes of heartbreak and loss, weaving emotional intensity through impactful imagery and rhetorical questions. It reasons against the very nature of forgetting a loved one, equating suppressing emotions to silencing a melodious bird or stopping roses from growing on their branches. The poem conveys a sense of inevitable fate, where forgetting is not only impossible but unnatural.


Symbolism of Tu angustia y mi dolor

The lyrics employ several symbols to amplify their emotional depth. The “rosal” (rosebush) symbolizes love, offering its roses freely, akin to the natural, spontaneous display of affection in a relationship. The “ave melodiosa” (melodious bird) represents the voice or the expression of love’s joys, while the “fuente” (fountain) suggests a continuous flow of feelings, underscoring the ceaselessness of love’s impact. These elements collectively stress that asking to forget love is like negating the very essence of life and emotion.


Tu angustia y mi dolor in historic Context

Recorded in 1969, a period marked in Argentina by social and political instability, “Tu angustia y mi dolor” captures a personal and emotional struggle against a backdrop of greater societal challenges. The year 1969 was pivotal due to the ‘Cordobazo’, a massive uprising. The tango could be interpreted as a reflection of personal despair amidst collective unrest, mirroring national sentiments of anguish and resistance. Moreover, Argentina’s rich tango history, often associated with expression of deep, sometimes melancholic emotions, provides a perfect medium for such expression.
