Milonga sentimental
Delfina Cheb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Milonga pa' recordarte
Milonga sentimental
Otros se quejan llorando
Yo canto pa' no llorar
Tu amor se secó de golpe
Nunca dijiste por qué
Yo me consuelo pensando
Que fue traición de mujer

Varón, pa' quererte mucho
Varón, pa' desearte el bien
Varón, pa' olvidar agravios
Porque ya te perdone
Tal vez no lo sepas nunca
Tal vez no lo puedas creer
Tal vez te provoque risa
Verme tirao a tus pies!

Es fácil pegar un tajo
Pa' cobrar una traición
O jugar en una daga
La suerte de una pasión
Pero no es fácil cortarse
Los tientos de un metejon
Cuando están bien amarrados
Al palo del corazón

Varón, pa' quererte mucho
Varón, pa' desearte el bien
Varón, pa' olvidar agravios
Porque ya te perdone
Tal vez no lo sepas nunca
Tal vez no lo puedas creer
Tal vez te provoque risa
Verme tirao a tus pies!

Milonga que hizo tu ausencia
Milonga de evocación
Milonga para que nunca
La canten en tu balcón
Pa' que vuelvas con la noche
Y te vayas con el sol




Pa' decirte que si, a veces
O pa' gritarte que no

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Delfina Cheb's "Milonga Sentimental" express the pain and heartbreak experienced by the singer after being betrayed by the one she loves. The song begins with the singer acknowledging her sorrow and choosing to sing instead of cry, highlighting her strength and resilience. She then reflects on the sudden drying up of her lover's love, wondering why it happened and eventually finding comfort in the belief that it was due to a woman's betrayal. The use of the word "varón" (man) makes it clear that the singer's lover is male, and she addresses him throughout the song, expressing her continued love and forgiveness despite the pain he has caused.


The second verse speaks to the difficulty of letting go of past hurts and grievances, but the singer ultimately declares that she has forgiven him, even if he may never know or believe it. She acknowledges the absurdity of her position, humbling herself by saying that he may find it funny to see her "tirao a tus pies" (thrown at your feet) after what he has done to her. The final verse is a "milonga de evocación," a song of remembrance, expressing the singer's desire for her lover to come back to her with the night and leave with the sun, so that she can tell him "yes" sometimes, or yell "no" if that's what she feels like.
