Letra del Tango Y siempre la misma historia

Ya nos tenés aburridos, contando la misma historia

Desde aquel nefasto día, en que llegaste al café,

Era sábado a la noche, mirá si tengo memoria

Y te metiste en la barra, por culpa de Don Manuel.

Debutaste con un “dato”, donde todos nos metimos

Y entró ganando de a uno, porque el otro se mancó,

Los anteojos te salvaron, de la biaba merecida

Y por ellos aguantamos, tus novelas de comboy.

¡Hasta cuándo, viejo!

Con la misma historia,

Terminala un día

Con tu gran dolor,

Y del sosegate

Que te dio tu novia,

De la redoblona,

Que te refundió.

¡Danos vacaciones!

Piantá de la noria,

Porque ya no es vida

Aguantarte a vos.

Vos te creés que sos un rana, porque vivís a los saltos

Y querés sacar la suerte, a gitanos de verdad,

Pero, andá, comprá una soga, buscate un árbol bien alto

Y colgate bien arriba, a ver si te destacás.

Pero vos no te das cuenta, que a esta altura de la vida

El gilito va de ida, cuando el vivo regresó,

Y que sos gran candidato, para comprar un tranvía

Y esperarlo en una esquina, apoyado en el buzón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Y siempre la misma historia"

You have us all fed up, telling the same story

Ever since that fateful day you arrived at the café,

It was a Saturday night, see how I remember

And you joined us at the bar, all because of Don Manuel.

You debuted with a “tip,” and we all followed suit;

Then you started winning alone because the other chickened out,

Your glasses saved you from a well-deserved beating,

And because of them, we endure your cowboy tales.

How long, old man?

With the same old story,

End it one day

With your great sorrow,

And about calming down

That your girlfriend gave you,

From the doubled bet,

That bankrupted you.

Give us a break!

Get out of the grind,

Because it’s no life

Putting up with you.

You think you’re a big frog because you live in leaps,

And you try to outsmart the real gypsics,

But go, buy a rope, find yourself a tall tree

And hang yourself up high to see if you stand out.

But you don’t realize that at this point in life

The fool is on his way out while the clever have returned,

And that you are a prime candidate to buy a streetcar

And wait for it on a corner, leaning on the mailbox.

Story behind the Tango Y siempre la misma historia

The title “Y siempre la misma historia,” which translates to “And always the same story,” reflects a narrative of frustration and repetitive lamentation. The lyrics portray a person who frequents a cafe and tires the audience with the same tale of woe and misfortune. This character arrived at the cafe one Saturday night and has since used it as a stage to recount their failures and misadventures, much to the annoyance of the other patrons.

Symbolism of Y siempre la misma historia

The tango uses various symbols to deepen its narrative. The repeated story becomes a symbol of human obsession with past mistakes and misfortunes. Characters like Don Manuel and the unnamed protagonist represent figures who are stuck in their narratives, unable to move beyond their pasts. The reference to “la barra,” or the bar, symbolizes a communal space where tales are shared and life unfolds, though not always in the most glamorous way.
