[Tango-L] Bandoneon's Complaints

Was wondering if anyone has an idea about meaning behind the tango tune
entitled Quejas de Bandoneon. It literally means Bandoneon's Complaints.

Perhaps "the wail of the Bandoneon?"
Wail means to cry softly or make a sad sound -- I've heard wail used in a
different sense, too, meaning to improvise a dramatic musical riff.

Other ideas?
