Letra del Tango Y se van los años

Yo sé que ya no te acordás
Que en un ayer lejano,
Amor y fe, te di, sentimental
Y son las causas de mi mal.

Si vieras vos, qué viejo estoy
Qué cambio cruel de ayer a hoy,
Para decirte que en mi soledad
Los años, llegan y se van.

Se van los años
Y yo confieso que no sé cómo olvidar.
Se van los años
Y estoy asqueado de vivir mi soledad.
Se van los años
Pero las penas de mi amor, ya no se van.
Para marcar mi dolor
Largas noches de horror,
Me hacen triste y huraño.
Porque no sé, como vos,
Desterrar un ayer
Que vivimos los dos.

English lyrics of the Tango "Y se van los años"

I know that you don’t remember
That in a distant past,
I gave you love and faith, sentimental
And they’re the reasons for my pain.

If you saw how old I am now,
What a cruel change from then ’til now,
To tell you that in my solitude
The years, they come and go.

The years go by
And I confess I don’t know how to forget.
The years go by
And I’m sickened living with my solitude.
The years go by
But the sorrows of my love, they never leave.
To mark my pain,
Long nights of horror
Make me sad and withdrawn.
Because I don’t know, like you,
How to banish a past
That we both lived.

Story behind the Tango Y se van los años

At its core, “Y se van los años” explores the theme of time and loss, narrated by someone who has experienced profound emotional depth due to lost love. The lyrics reveal a deep melancholy and resignation, as the speaker recounts giving “amor y fe” (love and faith) in the past which has now led to their suffering. The frequent mentioning of years passing further enhances the portrayal of weariness and the sad march of time.



Symbolism of Y se van los años

The primary symbol in this tango is time itself, illustrated by the years that “llegan y se van” (come and go). This ceaseless flow represents enduring sorrow that does not dissipate with time. Additionally, the night as a symbolical element contributes to the aura of despair, indicating long periods of suffering through “largas noches de horror” (long nights of horror). These poetic devices serve to emphasize the ongoing, relentless nature of the speaker’s emotional ache.



Y se van los años in historic Context

Created in 1942, Argentina was experiencing significant political and social changes. The personal narrative of despair and solitude in “Y se van los años” can also be perceived as a reflection of the broader societal atmosphere—an era of uncertainty and transformation. The prominence of Tango during this period as a form of emotional expression showcases its role in discussing personal and communal angst.
