Y todavia te quiero is a Tango written by Abel Aznar and composed by Luciano Leocata.
The tango ‘Y todavía te quiero’ revolves around the theme of unrequited and painful love. The lyrics express the agony and conflict experienced by someone who continues to love despite constant betrayal and hurt. Through introspective questions, the protagonist wonders why they remain tied to a love that only offers suffering, highlighting feelings of despair and attachment that defy reason.
The song uses potent imagery and symbolic language to deepen the emotional impact. Phrases like “mi vida en pedazos” (my life in pieces) and “el alma en pedazos” (the soul in pieces) evoke a vivid picture of internal devastation. The repeated questioning throughout the tango underscores a torturous inner monologue, emphasizing the cyclical nature of the protagonist’s pain. The choice to describe love as both a “herida” (wound) and “la cruz de mi vida” (the cross of my life) suggests not only suffering but also a burdensome, almost sacrificial, endurance.
Released in 1956 in Argentina, “Y todavia te quiero” reflects the melodic and emotional depth of classic Argentine tango music, known for its intensity and melancholic tone. During this period, tango was a major expression of the Argentine cultural identity and was often a reflection of the personal stories and societal sentiments of its time, dealing with themes of love, betrayal, and despair. This song, like many tangos of the era, emphasizes personal agony, reflecting a universal theme that resonates with the struggles and heartaches of everyday life.
Abel Aznar was known for his deeply emotional lyrics in the tango genre, resonating with many listeners for their evocative portrayal of love and loss.
