Y dicen que no te quiero is a Tango written by José Canet and composed by José Canet.
“Y dicen que no te quiero” (And they say that I don’t love you) revolves around the anguished confession of an individual whose love is questioned by society due to the physical absence of his loved one. The lyrics reflect a deep narrative where the speaker defends the sincerity of their feelings against the gossip and misunderstanding of people around them. The recurring message is a poignant exploration of love that persists despite separation, critiquing societal norms that equate physical presence with the legitimacy of a relationship.
The tango uses vibrant symbolism to express unseen devotion. Phrases like “La gente es mala y comenta” (People are mean and they talk) epitomize society’s intrusive judgments. The lyrics also use “nuestros sueños aferrados” (our dreams clung) to symbolize a shared inner world that remains strong despite external separation. Canet effectively uses contrasting narratives, where the outward appearance of separation belies a deep, inner connection, thus emphasizing that true love is not always visible to the external eye but felt deeply within.
The Tango, recorded in 1947 Argentina, emerges in a post-World War II context where societal upheavals and transformations were commonplace, mirroring in the personal sphere where distances could be both physical and emotional. During this era, Tango music often explored themes of loss, longing, and the resilience of love, reflecting the collective emotional state of a society recovering from the impacts of global conflict. “Y dicen que no te quiero” portrays this backdrop by focusing on personal integrity and the privacy of feelings in a judgmental society.
José Canet was an influential figure in the world of Tango, both as a composer and lyricist, known for his evocative and deeply emotional compositions.
