Letra del Tango Anoche a las cuatro

Porque conozco tu fondo
Me da lastima tu pena
Que vas a hacer si fue buena
Y te dejó un drama hondo.

Olvidá tu decepción
Aunque el recuerdo sea bravo,
Un clavo saca otro clavo
Decile a tu corazón.

Anoche a las cuatro
Te he visto muchacho,
Llevando en tus ojos,
Nublados y rojos
Tu pena de amor.

Anoche a las cuatro
Te vi como un duende,
Sin sueño, perdido,
Pobre ave sin nido
Sin nido y sin sol.

English lyrics of the Tango "Anoche a las cuatro"

Because I know your depth,
I pity your pain.
What will you do if she was good,
And left you with a deep drama?

Forget your disappointment,
Even if the memory is fierce,
One nail drives out another,
Tell that to your heart.

Last night at four,
I saw you, lad,
Carrying in your eyes,
Cloudy and red,
Your sorrow of love.

Last night at four,
I saw you like a ghost,
Sleepless, lost,
Poor bird without a nest,
Without a nest and without the sun.

Story behind the Tango Anoche a las cuatro

“Anoche a las cuatro,” which translates to “Last night at four,” explores themes of heartbreak and compassion. The narrator addresses someone familiar, reflecting on their pain and offering advice. The lyrics suggest that the subject of the song is someone the narrator knows well and feels sympathy towards due to their deep suffering from lost love. This narrative approach adds a layer of intimacy and understanding, positioning the speaker both as an observer and a confidant.


Symbolism of Anoche a las cuatro

The lyrics are rich with symbolic language. Key phrases such as “Un clavo saca otro clavo,” which translates to “One nail drives out another,” use the symbolism of nails to suggest that new love can heal the pain caused by old love. The imagery of the protagonist wandering “like a ghost,” sleepless and lost, evokes a strong visual of desolation and despair, emphasizing the depth of emotional turmoil after a romantic separation. This metaphor speaks to the universal feelings of loneliness and the search for solace in the aftermath of a breakup.


Anoche a las cuatro in historic Context

The tango was written and recorded in 1944, a period when Argentina was undergoing significant social and political changes. This was just before the rise of Juan Domingo Perón, a time characterized by economic instability and a shifting cultural landscape. Tangos of this era often reflected themes of sorrow and nostalgia, mirroring the public’s sentiments amidst the changing socio-political environment. “Anoche a las cuatro” serves as both a reflection on personal loss and a commentary on the broader sense of uncertainty during these times.
