Letra del Tango Y cualquier cantidad

Me paso las noches, pensando y pensando
Buscando la forma que me haga llegar,
Con clase, a lo reo, al verte paseando
Pararte y decirte: “Me querés matar”.

Yo junto coraje y estoy decidido
Mas llega el momento y empiezo a aflojar,
Te miro, no hay caso, soy hombre vencido
Pasás y suspiro, ¡Qué bronca me da!

Pebeta…
Sos la bomba que camina,
Y la que tiene a fajina
A este reo soñador.
Pebeta…
Sos un cacho de hermosura,
Y mirando sos ternura
Que acaricia el corazón.
Por eso…
Que mi vida se atormenta,
Porque no hay piba polenta
Pa´ caminar como vos.

Recitado:
Qué lindo sería, con una mirada
Llegar a la puerta de tu corazón,
Que diga: “Escuchame, te juro por mama
que estoy medio loco, me muero por vos”.

Quisiera llevarte conmigo del brazo
Y esposos benditos, bajar del altar,
Entonces al cielo, pedirle un purrete
Doblete, triplete, ¡Cualquier cantidad!

English lyrics of the Tango "Y cualquier cantidad"

I spend the nights, thinking and thinking
Searching for the way that will make me reach,
With class, like a rogue, upon seeing you stroll
To stop you and tell you: “You’re killing me.”

I gather courage and am determined
But when the moment comes, I start to falter,
I look at you, it’s no use, I’m a defeated man
You pass and I sigh, oh how it infuriates me!

Young girl…
You’re the bomb that walks,
And the one that keeps at bay
This dreaming rogue.
Young girl…
You are a piece of beauty,
And by looking, you are tenderness
That caresses the heart.
That’s why…
My life torments me,
For there is no tough girl
To walk like you.

Spoken:
It would be so nice, with just one look
To reach the door of your heart,
To say: “Listen to me, I swear by mom
that I’m kind of crazy, I’m dying for you.”

I’d like to take you by the arm
And blessed as spouses, step down from the altar,
Then to heaven, ask for a little kid
Twins, triplets, any number!

Story behind the Tango Y cualquier cantidad

The storyline of “Y cualquier cantidad” portrays the emotional turmoil and admiration of a man observing the woman he desires. He spends nights thinking and seeking a way to express his feelings and win her heart effectively. Despite gathering courage, he finds himself defeated by her mere presence. The lyrics express his awe and frustration at his inability to communicate his feelings, as she walks by, leaving him breathless and resentful of his timidity.



Symbolism of Y cualquier cantidad

In this tango, many symbolic elements highlight its emotional depth. The phrase “Sos la bomba que camina,” describing the woman as a ‘walking bomb,’ conveys her striking impact on the narrator. This intense imagery symbolizes her breathtaking effect and destructive potential over his emotional state. The repeated references to her allure, describing her as a piece of beauty and tenderness, further intensify the narrator’s profound affection and admiration. These descriptions serve to elevate the woman to an almost unattainable stature, augmenting the dramatic tension of unreciprocated or unconfessed love.
