Letra del Tango Una mentira más

Me dijiste, yo te quiero y enredao por tu cariño,
Fui lo mismo que un cuzquito, porque firme te seguí,
Y asonsao por tus antojos, me engañaste como a un niño
Pa´ otorgarme luego un premio, que yo nunca merecí.
Tuve sueños deliciosos, en que vos me repetías
Las promesas que tu boca, tantas veces me juró,
Pero fue tu amor un soplo, sólo triste fantasía
Débil luz de una esperanza, que al nacer se disipó.

Vos te fuiste y me dejaste
Como cardo envenenado,
Que en el campo desolado
Se resiste al temporal.
Mas no importa, te burlaste,
Qué he de hacerle, nada espero,
Si mi madre es el lucero
Que siempre me alumbrará.

Y hoy cubierto ´e desengaños, no he querido que a mis horas
Las cubriera el negro manto, de la cruel desolación,
Y volví al amor divino, como el sol de mis auroras
A ese amor que no se iguala, porque es todo corazón.
Ya no extraño tus caricias, hoy me encuentro más contento,
Porque junto a mi madre,
La pureza de mi pecho, mi pensar y el sentimiento,
Y pa´ ella en mi guitarra, vuelco todo mi querer.

English lyrics of the Tango "Una mentira más"

You said to me, “I love you,” and wrapped up in your affection,
I became like a little lost dog, loyally following you,
Deceived by your whims, you played me like a child
To then give me a prize, that I never deserved.
I had delicious dreams, where you would repeat to me
The promises that your lips had sworn so many times,
But your love was a mere breath, just sad fantasy,
A faint light of hope, that faded at birth.

You left and abandoned me
Like a poisoned thistle,
In a desolate field
Resisting the storm.
But it doesn’t matter, you mocked me,
What can I do, I expect nothing,
If my mother is the bright star
That will always light my way.

And today, covered in disappointments, I refused to let my hours
Be shrouded in the black cloak of cruel desolation,
And I returned to divine love, like the sun of my dawns
To that love unmatched, for it is all heart.
I no longer miss your caresses, I am happier today,
Because next to my mother,
The purity of my chest, my thoughts, and feelings,
And for her, in my guitar, I pour out all my love.

Story behind the Tango Una mentira más

The lyrics of “Una mentira más” tell a story of love, deceit, and disillusionment. The protagonist narrates his experience of being deceived by someone he loved and trusted, comparing himself to a naive dog that loyally followed despite being misled. The central theme revolves around betrayal and the subsequent awakening to harsh realities, highlighted by the poignant realization that the love promised was nothing more than a lie, a fleeting fantasy.



Symbolism of Una mentira más

The tango uses powerful symbolism to enhance its emotional depth. Phrases such as “Tuve sueños deliciosos,” symbolize the beautiful yet unreal dreams fed by false promises. The analogy of the protagonist to a “cardo envenenado” (poisoned thistle) standing alone in a desolate field portrays resilience amidst suffering and betrayal. Furthermore, the mention of the ‘lucero’ or morning star, symbolizing the mother, highlights the contrast between false love and the constant, pure love of a mother.



Una mentira más in historic Context

Recorded in 1957 in Argentina, “Una mentira más” was created during a vibrant yet tumultuous period in Argentine history, marked by political strife and social changes. The tango could be seen as reflecting the general sentiment of disillusionment of the time, mirroring the personal betrayals with the broader societal deceptions. The lyrics resonate with the theme of searching for truth and stability in an era of uncertainty, which aligns with the yearnings of Argentine society during the late 1950s.
