Yira Yira
Nacha Guevara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fayando y fayando
Te largue parao
Cuando estés bien en la vía
Sin rumbo y desesperao
Cuando no tengas ni fe
Ni yerba de ayer
Secándose al sol
Buscando ese mango
Que te haga morfar
La indiferencia del mundo
Que es sordo y es mudo
Recién sentirás
Verás que todo es mentira
Verás que nada es amor
Que al mundo nada le importa
Yira, yira
Aunque te quiebre la vida
Aunque te muerda un dolor
No esperes nunca un ayuda
Ni una mano
Ni un favor
Cuando estén secas las pilas
De todos los timbres
Que vos apretás
Buscando un pecho fraterno
Para morir abrazao
Cuando te dejen tirao
Después de cinchar
Lo mismo que a mi
Cuando manyés que a tu lao
Se prueban la ropa que vas a dejar
Te acordarás de esta otaria
Que un día cansada
Se puso a ladrar
The song "Yira Yira" by Nacha Guevara is a profound depiction of the dark realities of life. The lyrics reveal the struggles that people encounter in life, the misfortunes, the failures and the betrayal that they face. The first stanza talks about how life can be harsh, unpredictable and disappointing at times, leaving one lost and hopeless. When you are on the right track and doing everything right but still fail, when you have no hope left, and everything seems to be falling apart, that's when one feels the true indifference of the world.
The Chorus emphasizes the overall sense of disillusionment with life. The lyrics suggest that everything is a lie, and nothing is really worth anything - not even love. The world is indifferent and does not care about anything or anyone. These lines are like a rude awakening, as they expose the harsh realities of the world.
The song's final verse describes a deeply personal, emotional pain that comes after being abandoned by everyone around you. It is a desperate cry for help that goes unheard in the unforgiving world. The song strikes a chord with anyone who has experienced hardship, loss, or heartbreak.

A partir de Heavy Tango, que me parece brillante, empecé a interesarme en el tango y a conocer mucho más de él.
