Y te parece todavía is a Tango written by Abel Aznar and composed by Juan Carlos Howard.
The lyrics of “Y te parece todavía” speak poignantly about heartbreak and betrayal. The narrator addresses their former lover, expressing how significantly their actions have devastated the narrator’s life. Throughout the song, the speaker narrates being left in despair, with their hopes and dreams shattered. The vivid language such as “destrozarme la vida” (destroyed my life) and “cerrando mis ojos a tanto dolor” (closing my eyes to so much pain) communicates a deep emotional pain and a sense of irreparable damage.
The tango uses powerful symbolic language to emphasize the depth of emotional trauma. Phrases like “te importó destrozarme la vida” (you cared about destroying my life) and “serás como una herida” (you will be like a wound) utilize physical imagery to illustrate emotional suffering. This signifies that the wounds inflicted by deceit are not only deep but also lasting, coloring the narrator’s life indelibly.
Released in 1973, a significant period in Argentina marked by political instability and social unrest, “Y te parece todavía” might also resonate with the broader societal atmosphere of distrust and betrayal. During this tumultuous era, relationships—whether personal or political—had undergone severe strains, and the song’s theme of betrayal could echo the sentiments of a broader disillusioned public.
Abel Aznar was an influential figure in the Argentine tango scene, known for his poignant lyrics and emotional depth.
