The structure of the lyrics is simple:
Part 1 – Chorus – Part 2 – Chorus
Part 1
Estás desorientado y no sabés
Qué “trole” hay que tomar para seguir.
Y en este desencuentro con la fe
Querés cruzar el mar y no podés.
La araña que salvaste te picó
¡qué vas a hacer!
Y el hombre que ayudaste te hizo mal
¡dale nomás! Y todo el carnaval
Gritando pisoteó
La mano fraternal
Que Dios te dio.
Chorus
¡Qué desencuentro!
¡Si hasta Dios está lejano!
Llorás por dentro,
Todo es cuento, todo es vil.
En el corso a contramano
Un grupí trampeó a Jesús…
No te fíes ni de tu hermano,
Se te cuelgan de la cruz…
Part 2
Quisiste con ternura, y el amor
Te devoró de atrás hasta el riñón.
Se rieron de tu abrazo y ahí nomás
Te hundieron con rencor todo el arpón
Amargo desencuentro, porque ves
Que es al revés…
Creiste en la honradez
Y en la moral…
¡qué estupidez! Por eso en tu total
Fracaso de vivir,
Ni el tiro del final
Te va a salir.
Chorus
Desencuentro history
Desencuentro is a tango composed in 1962 by Aníbal Troilo (music) and Cátulo Castillo (lyrics). It became a hit after the interpretation of the famous Roberto Goyeneche (called El Polaco) a few years later.
This tremendous tango has a very rich melody and very beautiful lyrics. It is about a disoriented man, lost and adrift. He missed his appointment with God, or rather with destiny, and wanders in a dark world that seems meaningless.
Castillo reveals to us the absurdity of life: a man who walks, believing the good, and, as he falls, continues to fall. Until the final shot that will not yet come out, leaving him hesitating on an eternal path, a world without a script, without morals or justice.
