Tu boca mintió (No me mires) is a Tango written by Alberto Longo and composed by Armando Angeletti.
The Tango ‘Tu boca mintió (No me mires)’ reveals a tale of pain and betrayal woven through vivid imagery and heartfelt expressions. It speaks to the emotional turmoil experienced by the singer as he confronts the deception of a loved one whose lips lied, turning what was once cherished into a painful reminder of what could have been. This song narrates the singer’s pleas to the traitor not to look at him, as her glance reignites his agony, urging her to continue her path while he seeks oblivion or the possibility of new illusions.
The song extensively uses the imagery of paths and ashes as symbolic elements. The “florida senda” or ‘floral path’ symbolizes the journey of life that the other should continue without the singer, suggesting a relation once full of life and beauty that is now a source of isolation. The ashes represent the remains of everything that was, a past consumed by the flames of deceit and lost faith. “Between cups” metaphorically evokes a state of drunken disarray, indicating potential self-destructive behavior as a response to deep-seated emotional pain.
The Tango was created in 1951, a time when Tango music was at a transformative phase, resonating with tales of common people, their trepidations, and emotional turmoil, often mirroring the social and economic landscape of post-war Argentina. During these times, themes of lost love, betrayal, and despair were common in tango lyrics, acting as a voice for the collective mourning and adapting to the changes in societal structures. ‘Tu boca mintió (No me mires)’ fits within this broader context of storytelling where personal pain echoes the unsettled societal emotions of the era.
Alberto Longo was an Argentine lyricist known for his expressive and poignant contributions to the genre of Tango, capturing the deep emotions and stories of everyday life within his lyrics.
