Letra del Tango Una piba como vos

Ven, levántate no llores,
no me jures ni me implores,
yo esperé que alguna vez
hincándote a mis pies
traerías tus dolores.
Mas los años que pasaron,
mis rencores atenuaron.
Y hoy que al fin te vuelvo a ver,
no llores, por favor,
que ya te perdoné.

Despojos solamente quedan hoy,
despojos de tu amor y de mi amor.
¿Por qué has vuelto así
con las sombras del ayer,
arrastrando tu vejez junto a mí?
Mira como estoy por estar lejos de ti,
yo también envejecí de dolor.
Hoy somos los despojos, nada más,
no sé si has hecho bien en regresar.

Como el sol reseca el lodo…
Borra el tiempo, todo, todo…
Y se aprende a perdonar
De nuevo al encontrar
La vida en un recodo…
Una luz en mis tinieblas
Es tu nombre hecho de niebla,
Puede ser que salga el sol
Detrás de tu dolor
Detrás de mi dolor…

English lyrics of the Tango "Una piba como vos"

Come, get up, do not cry,
do not swear to me, do not implore,
I hoped that someday
kneeling at my feet
you would bring your sorrows.
But the years that passed
softened my bitterness.
And now that I finally see you again,
do not cry, please,
I have already forgiven you.

Only wreckage is left today,
wreckage of your love and my love.
Why have you returned like this
with the shadows of yesterday,
dragging your old age next to mine?
Look how I am from being away from you,
I also aged in pain.
Today we are just wreckage, nothing more,
I don’t know if you did well in returning.

Like the sun dries the mud…
Time erases, everything, everything…
And one learns to forgive
Upon finding anew
Life at a bend…
A light in my darkness
Is your name made of mist,
It might be that the sun comes out
Behind your pain
Behind my pain…

Symbolism of Una piba como vos

Phrases like “despojos solamente quedan hoy,” which translates to “only remains are left today,” symbolize the remnants of a past love that can’t fully be rekindled, reflecting feelings of loss and emotional devastation. The imagery of “una luz en mis tinieblas, es tu nombre hecho de niebla,” meaning “a light in my darkness, your name made of fog,” poignantly suggests a glimmer of hope or forgiveness that remains intangible and ephemeral like fog. The repeated use of natural elements like sun and mud metaphorically emphasizes the natural cycle of healing and deterioration.
