tango
Charly Garcia & Catupecu Machu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Loco lindo que te comes las veredas
Con tres pasos disparados al compás,
why tu figura de largura interminable
why un bigote de malicia
Trabajado a sangre why sal.

Bucanero de los mares del Congreso
Acoplame el corazón con tu canción
Comunícalo con alas de guitarra
why un pianito de juguete
Que tocás tan solo vos

Vos sos Dios, vos sos Gardel
Vos sos lo más.
Vos sos Dios, vos sos Gardel
Vos sos lo más.
Vos hablando why yo tratando de escucharte…
And you know my darling
This is no funny my love.

Calavera rompe why raja why todos miran
Vos tomás un trago largo why te olvidás
De los consejos que te dan
Todas tus minas
why las cosas de tu barrio
Lo olvidás en cualquier bar.

why en tu altura de guardián
de los destierros
Que los genios te lo pueden acoplar,

Vos sos Dios, vos sos Gardel




Vos sos lo más.
Vos sos Dios, vos sos lo más.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Tango in 2-3" by Charly Garcia & Catupecu Machu describe a wandering, charismatic figure who dances along the sidewalks with grace and malice in his movements, accompanied by a tune played on guitar and toy piano. The singer admires the figure, comparing him to the legendary tango singer Carlos Gardel, and speaks of the difficulties of communicating with him. The second verse further portrays him as a renegade with a disregard for the advice of his lovers and his community, who lives in a world of his own guarded by "geniuses". The repetition of "vos sos Dios, vos sos Gardel" emphasizes his iconic, god-like status.


One interpretation of the song is that it celebrates the Argentinean cultural figure of the "porteño", someone from Buenos Aires who embodies the spirit of tango and the gritty streets of the city. However, it also speaks to the danger and unreliability of such a figure, who lives a hedonistic and selfish life outside of ordinary society. The use of tango, with its themes of passion, violence, and longing, adds to the sense of a world of its own that the character inhabits.

Tango
Loco lindo que te comes las veredas
Con tres pasos disparados al compás,
Y tu figura de largura interminable
Y un bigote de malicia
Trabajado a sangre y sal.

*Bucanero de los bares del Congreso
Acoplame el corazón con tu canción
*Como un Ícaro con alas de guitarra
Y un pianito de juguete
Que tocás tan solo vos

Vos sos Dios, vos sos Gardel
Vos sos lo más.
Vos sos Dios, vos sos Gardel
Vos sos lo más.
Vos hablando y yo tratando de escucharte…
And you know my darling
This is no funny my love.

Calavera rompe y raja y todos miran
Vos tomás un trago largo y te olvidás
De los consejos que te dan
Todas las minas
Novias d e cualquier bar.

Y en tu altura de guardián
de los destierros
Que los genios te lo pueden acoplar.

Vos sos Dios, vos sos Gardel
Vos sos lo más.
Vos sos Dios, vos sos lo más.
* Donde en google dice mares es bares del Congreso. Lugar conocido y muy frecuentado por gente de esos lugares.... Gracias.
* Es Icaro que tenía las alas de cera y al elevarse el sol las derritió. Digo esto porque en la letra publicada por Kuki Bsaualdo es de como está en google, esa versión dice "comunícalo" y está equivocado.
