Letra del Tango Un infierno

El agravio de tus labios, que juraron y engañaron,

embeleso de tu beso donde preso me quedé.

Un zarpazo fue tu abrazo y tu piel de seda y raso,

un infierno cruel y eterno donde el alma me quemé.

El hastío con su frío hizo nido en todo mío,

si quererte fue la muerte, el perderte es morir más.

Que misterio es el cariño que en la cruz de tu abandono,

todavía te perdono y te quiero mucho más.



Clavaste

sin temor, con toda el alma,

a traición y por la espalda

un puñal, ¿y para qué?

No ves

que estoy herido y te sonrío

que aún te llamo cielo mío

y que aún beso tu puñal.

¡No lo ves,

que pese a todo y contra todo

en el cielo o en el lodo

yo te quiero siempre igual!



Maldecirte, no seguirte, no quererte, aborrecerte,

libertarme de tus manos, rosa fresca, no podré.

Como un ciego tambaleo sin tu voz, sin tu sonrisa,

cielo y brisa, tierra y todo, me recuerda tu querer.

Siempre arde, noche y tarde, esa antorcha de tus ojos

en tu pelo soy abrojo que pretende ser clavel,

como hiedra que se aferra a la piedra inevitable,

de tu amor inolvidable aferrado me quedé.

English lyrics of the Tango "Un infierno"

The hurt from your lips, which swore and deceived,
enchanted by your kiss where I remained captive.
Your embrace was a swipe, your skin silk and satin,
a cruel eternal hell where my soul I did burn.

Boredom with its chill took root in all that’s mine,
if loving you was death, losing you is dying more.
What mystery is affection that on the cross of your leaving,
I still forgive you and love you even more.

You plunged,
without fear, with all your soul,
treacherously, from behind,
a dagger, and for what?
Don’t you see
I’m wounded and still I smile at you,
still I call you my heaven,
and still I kiss your dagger.
Don’t you see,
that despite everything and against everything,
in heaven or in the mud,
I always love you the same!

To curse you, not follow you, not love you, to scorn you,
to free myself from your hands, fresh rose, I cannot.
Like a blind man I stagger without your voice, without your smile,
sky and breeze, earth and everything, remind me of your love.
Always burning, night and evening, that torch of your eyes
in your hair, I’m a burr trying to be a carnation,
like ivy that clings to the unavoidable stone,
to your unforgettable love, I remained attached.

Story behind the Tango Un infierno

The repeated references to elements like fire and weapons (“¡No lo ves, que aún beso tu puñal!”) further intensify the portrayal of suffering and eternal devotion.



Un infierno in historic Context

“Un infierno” was composed in 1953, a time characterized by significant social and political changes in Argentina. The country was undergoing a period of intense nationalism and political polarization under President Juan Perón.
