Letra del Tango Volvé

Desde que te fuiste
del cotorro ando tan triste, si supieras
que no tengo para nada voluntad
todo lo veo empañado
de tanto como he llorado.
Ya no hay en mi pecho
para el daño que me has hecho, te lo juro
ni un chiquito de rencor… ten caridad.
Cada vez te quiero más
y yo sin tus caricias
de vivir no soy capaz.

Volvé, mirá, volvé
engáñame nomás
no te molestaré
con celos jamás.
Vos serás como vos quieras
para todas las mujeres
y yo no pensaré
si me engañás o no
pero a mi lao volvé,
volvéme a mentir
o me matarás
que de vivir
sin vos no soy capaz.

No hay un desalmado
que merezca ser odiado y olvidado
como vos merecerías… bien lo sé…
Pero yo no sabré odiarte
porque nací para amarte.
Sé que soy cobarde
mas no puedo ni deseo hacer alarde
de un orgullo que no siento… y para qué.
Sé que ya no me querés
que ya vivís con otra…
pero así y todo volvé.

English lyrics of the Tango "Volvé"

Since you left
I’m so sad in this nest, if you only knew
I’ve lost all my will to live
everything seems blurred
from all the tears I’ve cried.
In my heart, I swear
there’s no trace of resentment for the hurt you caused… have mercy.
My love for you only grows
and without your caress
I simply can’t live.

Come back, look, come back
deceive me again
I won’t bother you
with jealousy ever again.
Be as you wish
to all other women
and I won’t think
if you’re cheating or not,
but come back to my side,
lie to me again
or you will kill me
for I cannot live
without you.

There is no heartless soul
deserving to be hated and forgotten
like you deserve… I know it well…
But I can’t learn to hate you
because I was born to love you.
I know I am a coward
but I neither can nor want to boast
of a pride I do not feel… what for?
I know you don’t love me anymore
and you’re with someone else…
but even so, come back.

Story behind the Tango Volvé

The lyrics of “Volvé” express the profound emotions of longing and despair felt by a person bereft by the departure of a loved one. The speaker in the song narrates his overwhelming sadness, vividly describing how his life has lost direction and meaning since his loved one left. “Desde que te fuiste, del cotorro ando tan triste,” reveals how deeply ingrained the pain of separation is, impacting his everyday existence to the point where he feels incapable of carrying on without that special person’s love and presence.



Symbolism of Volvé

“Volvé,” meaning ‘Come back’ in English, utilizes various symbols to deepen the emotional impact. The line “todo lo veo empañado de tanto como he llorado” uses the imagery of a blurred or fogged view, symbolizing the tears and sorrow that cloud the speaker’s vision and life. The continuous entreaty, “Volvé,” serves as a poignant refrain, emphasizing desperation and the intense desire for reunion. The paradox of wanting the loved one to return, even if it means accepting lies and deceit, underlines the theme of unconditional and enduring love.



Volvé in historic Context

Recorded in 1932, “Volvé” emerged during a period of significant cultural and musical evolution in Argentina, where Tango was not just a dance but an expression of deeper social and personal narratives. This era, affected by economic fluctuations and a complex social landscape, saw the Tango as a medium to express personal strife, melancholy, and the complexities of relationships. Within this context, “Volvé” mirrors the emotional and social undercurrents of the time, presenting a narrative of enduring love despite pain and betrayal.
