Letra del Tango Y dicen que no te quiero

La gente es mala y comenta,
cómo, no estando a mi lado,
yo te puedo querer tanto
y a tus encantos
vivo amarrado.
La gente es siempre igual..
No piensa que hace mal
y vuelca indiferente
la palabra más hiriente
sobre el tierno pensamiento
en el momento
que más se muere de amor.

Y dicen que no te quiero
porque no me ven contigo…
Si supieran que en el alma tenemos
nuestros sueños aferrados…
Si supieran que los dos nos queremos
aunque estemos separados…
¡Cuántos hay que estando juntos no se aman
y no saben de este amor que hay dentro mío!…
¡Y dicen que no te quiero
porque no me ven contigo!…

Siempre el amor fue lo mismo
en el por qué de la vida;
siempre ha habido y sigue habiendo
quienes, mintiendo,
muestran su herida…
Y tratan de engañar
a aquel que sabe amar…
Pero esos que mintiendo
van hablando y van hiriendo
son, tal vez, los que han querido
y no han podido
amar igual que amo yo.

English lyrics of the Tango "Y dicen que no te quiero"

People are cruel and they gossip,
how, without you by my side,
I could love you so deeply
and to your charms
I am bound tightly.
People are always the same…
They don’t think they’re doing harm
and carelessly inflict
the most hurtful words
on tender thoughts,
at the moment
of dying most in love.

And they say that I don’t love you
because they don’t see me with you…
If they knew that in our souls we hold
our dreams so tightly…
If they knew that we both love each other
even if we’re apart…
How many are together without love
and don’t know this love inside of me!…
And they say that I don’t love you
because they don’t see me with you!…

Love has always been the same
in the why of life;
there have always been and still are
those who, lying,
show their wounds…
And try to deceive
those who know how to love…
But those who lie
spreading words and causing pain
are, perhaps, the ones who have loved
and haven’t been able
to love as I do.

Story behind the Tango Y dicen que no te quiero

The tango “Y dicen que no te quiero” delves into a deeply personal narrative of love challenged by societal perceptions and gossip. It explores the heart-wrenching experience of loving someone deeply despite physical separation. In the lyrics, the protagonist confronts the rumors and malicious comments from others who fail to understand the depth of their affectionate bond. The song captures the enduring pain and melancholy inherent in a love that is questioned and misunderstood by those who only see the surface of the situation.

Symbolism of Y dicen que no te quiero

The tango makes use of powerful symbolism and language that enhances the depiction of love and misunderstanding. “La gente es mala y comenta” symbolizes societal judgment and the omnipresent scrutiny faced by the couple. The phrase “vuelca indiferente la palabra más hiriente” illustrates how words, carelessly spoken, can pierce deeply and inflict emotional pain. The repeated mention of love being questioned due to a lack of visible connection (“porque no me ven contigo”) symbolizes the superficial judgments made by others who do not understand the true nature of their relationship. This dichotomy between public perception and private understanding is crucial to the tango’s emotive power.

Y dicen que no te quiero in historic Context

Written in Buenos Aires in 1947, this tango arose during a period when social appearances and reputations were of great importance in Argentinian culture. The post-World War II era saw a society grappling with modernity, yet still deeply rooted in traditional values. Buenos Aires, the heart of tango, became a backdrop for exploring complex themes of love, identity, and social constraints. The feeling of being misunderstood by society reflects the broader cultural sentiment of trying to uphold personal truth against prevailing norms.
