Y no te voy a llorar is a Tango written by Abel Aznar and composed by Luciano Leocata.
The lyrics of “Y no te voy a llorar” translate to “And I’m not going to cry for you”. They depict a dialogue where the speaker, perhaps tired and disillusioned, speaks to a partner from whom they are parting. The narrative unfolds as a confrontation, or a final farewell, where the speaker is expressing a mixture of resignation, desolation, and a staunch resolve to not cry over the broken relationship.
Symbolism in this tango can be found in phrases like “tengo un llanto en la garganta,” meaning “I have a cry in my throat.” This metaphor portrays the emotional conflict of feeling the urge to cry, yet restraining oneself. It symbolizes the suppression of sadness, a poignant nod to dignity and resilience despite the pain. Additionally, the constant urging to move on (“Anda nomás”) signifies a recognition of the inevitable, pushing past denial towards acceptance.
Recorded in 1954, “Y no te voy a llorar” was created in an Argentina experiencing political upheaval, transitioning into a decade of instability. Tangos of this era often reflected themes of loss, nostalgia, and personal turmoil, mirroring the socio-political climate. The song’s theme of ending a painful relationship could be an allegory of wider societal desires to move past difficulty and regain autonomy and peace.
Abel Aznar was an Argentine lyricist known for his profound and emotionally resonant tangos. His works often delve into themes of love, betrayal, and existential reflection.
