Milonga sentimental
Juan Carlos Baglietto & Lito Vitale 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 seco de golpe
Nunca dijiste por que
Yo me consuelo pensando
Que son cosas del querer

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 tirado 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 para gritarte no

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 tirado a tus pies

Milonga pa' recordarte
Milonga sentimental
Otros se quejan llorando
Yo canto pa' no llorar

Tu amor se seco de golpe
Nunca dijiste por que




Yo me consuelo pensando
Que son cosas del querer

Overall Meaning

"Milonga Sentimental" is a song by Argentine singer-songwriter Juan Carlos Baglietto, which has become a classic of the Argentine folklore and tango genre. The lyrics describe the singer's feelings of heartbreak and loss after his lover has left him, all the while maintaining a dignified and respectful demeanor towards his former partner, who is referred to as "varón", or "man" (regardless of gender). He sings about how he uses music (the milonga) as a way to remember his lost love, without breaking down in tears like some other people might do. He also reflects on the sudden end of their relationship, and how he tries to come to terms with it by thinking that such things are part of love.


One of the themes of the song is the singer's attempt to reconcile his desire for his former partner's return with his own self-respect and dignity. He wants to tell them that he still loves them, or at least have a chance to say no to them, but he also knows that he has already forgiven any grievances between them. The milonga, a type of Argentine folk music similar to the tango, is used as a way to express these emotions, both private and public, as it is a style of music meant for dancing and for sharing emotions with others.


Overall, "Milonga Sentimental" is a poignant and bittersweet song about the joys and sorrows of loving someone, and trying to move on when things don't work out.
