Y todavia te quiero is a Tango written by Abel Aznar and composed by Luciano Leocata.
“Y todavia te quiero” translates to “And I still love you” in English. The lyrics delve deep into the pain of unrequited love, where the protagonist deeply adores someone despite their dishonesty and indifference. Through poignant verses, the lyrics capture the essence of torment and undying affection, portraying a conflict between the heart and mind about maintaining an emotionally damaging relationship.
The tango uses several powerful symbols to enrich the narrative. Phrases like “mi vida en pedazos” (my life in pieces) and “el alma en pedazos” (the soul in pieces) emphasize the inner turmoil and fragmentation caused by this toxic love. The reference to love as both “una herida” (a wound) and “la cruz de mi vida” (the cross of my life) signifies suffering and crucifixion-like sacrifice, suggesting a love that is painful yet carried with a sense of fatalistic devotion.
The tango was recorded in 1956, a period marked by social and political upheavals in Argentina. During this era, tango music often reflected deep emotional and existential themes, mirroring the public’s sentiments amidst the uncertainties of the time. Set against this backdrop, “Y todavia te quiero” might resonate as an expression of enduring through pain, paralleling the collective resilience of a society facing turbulent changes.
Abel Aznar was an Argentine lyricist known for his deep and evocative tangos, often exploring themes of love, betrayal, and existential angst.
