Letra del Tango Yo también

Me estoy sintiendo viejo
detrás del alba se va la vida.
Hoy me miré al espejo
y siento mi alma que está vencida.
Cuando el amor me acariciaba
siempre era joven porque soñaba.
Hoy estoy solo y en mi ocaso
siento el fracaso de mi vivir.

Yo también tuve un querer que dibujó
en mi pena una esperanza.
Yo también viví mis sueños de amor,
una ilusión mansa.
Yo también tuve un amor y lo perdí
y sentí morir mi alma.
Ya no vale ni la pena vivir
si hay que penar así.

Y así viví, quién sabe,
si fue un recuerdo, si fue quimera.
Yo sólo sé en mi angustia
que rompo sueños y aguanto penas.
Será que al fin, frente al espejo,
plateando canas me siento viejo.
Y no es vivir, luchar vencido,
fríos de olvido que hacen morir.

English lyrics of the Tango "Yo también"

I’m feeling old,
life slips away beyond the dawn.
Today I looked in the mirror
and felt my soul has been defeated.
When love caressed me
I was always young because I dreamed.
Now I’m alone in my twilight,
feeling the failure of my life.

I too had a love that sketched
a hope within my sorrow.
I too lived my love dreams,
a gentle illusion.
I also had a love and lost it
and felt my soul die.
Now living hardly seems worthwhile
if one must suffer so.

And so I lived, who knows,
if it was a memory, if it was fantasy.
All I know in my anguish
is that I break dreams and endure pains.
Perhaps at last, before the mirror,
graying hair makes me feel old.
And it’s not living, to fight defeated,
cold forgetfulness that leads to death.

Story behind the Tango Yo también

The lyrics of “Yo también” immerse us in a poignant story of self-reflection and lost love. The speaker confronts his old age and defeated spirit, a stark contrast to his youth filled with dreams fueled by love. He finds himself alone in the twilight of his life, grappling with the sense of failure that pervades his existence. This Tango captures the existential crisis that often accompanies later stages of life, reflecting on love lost and the vanishing hopes that once brought solace.


Symbolism of Yo también

The recurring motif of the mirror in “Yo también” symbolizes introspection and marked passages of time. As the protagonist faces his own aging reflection, he is reminded of his youthful days when love seemed everlasting. The contrast between his past and present experiences illustrates the relentless passage of time and the inevitable dwindling of hope. Furthermore, the idea of the inevitable end, captured through decay and solitude, further enhances the dejected tone of the lyrics. Phrases like “plateando canas me siento viejo” (silvering hair makes me feel old) use the visual transition of hair color to depict advancing age and diminishing vitality.


Yo también in historic Context

Created in Argentina in 1962, “Yo también” resonates with a period marked by a turbulent socio-political climate with economic downturns that may have intensified personal reflections on loss and disillusionment among the populace. Argentina during the 1960s grappled with political instability and social unrest, which could deepen individual experiences of failure and despair as mirrored in the Tango lyrics. Thus, the historical backdrop enriches the song’s emphasis on emotional defeat and the futility of clinging to the past.
