Y todavia te quiero is a Tango written by Abel Aznar and composed by Luciano Leocata.
The lyrics of “Y todavía te quiero” dive into the complex emotions of a love that continues despite pain and betrayal. The protagonist reflects on his unyielding affection for his beloved, despite her deceit and the emotional toll it has on him. This tango captures the paradox of a lover who recognizes the toxicity of the relationship yet feels incapable of letting go, highlighting the depth of his emotional attachment and the pain it brings.
The tango uses vivid language and symbols to paint the struggle of enduring love. Phrases like “mi vida en pedazos” (my life in pieces) and “el alma en pedazos” (the soul in pieces) signify the destructive impact of this toxic relationship. The recurring references to lies and deceit, articulated in lines such as “si mentís una vez, si mentís otra vez y volvés a mentir” (if you lie once, if you lie again and you come back to lie) illuminate the continual betrayal faced by the speaker, who nonetheless clings to the remnants of love. The repetitive questioning throughout the piece underscores the internal conflict and incredulity at his own enduring affection.
The year 1956 in Argentina was a period marked by political instability and social unrest. This historical backdrop may intensify the emotional resonance of “Y todavia te quiero,” reflecting a broader sense of disillusionment and suffering. The tango could be perceived as a metaphor for the Argentine people’s relationship with their country—tormented by repeated betrayals yet bound by a deep-seated love. This dimension adds profound layers to the understanding of the lyrics, framing personal heartache within the wider narrative of national identity.
Abel Aznar was an Argentine lyricist known for his contributions to the Tango genre, often capturing the essence of emotional complexity in his works.
