Letra del Tango Discos de Gardel

No siento tanto que mi vida es triste y sola
cuando escucho en la victrola
viejos discos de Gardel.
Los tangos del ayer
reviven sin querer
amores marchitados por el tiempo
y casi olvido que mis sienes están grises
escuchando ‘Cicatrices’,
‘Nunca más’ o ‘Un tropezón’.
Y trae la emoción
amarga del dolor
el tango ‘No te engañes, corazón’.

Dice la voz
sentimental:
‘Mi Buenos Aires querido…’
Y regresan los recuerdos
de mis vueltas por la vida
y de aquella vieja herida
de un amor.
En cada tango su huella…
En cada tango mi estrella…
Y por eso mi alma llora
cuando escucho en la victrola
discos de Carlos Gardel.

¡Los discos viejos me recuerdan tantas cosas!
Calles viejas y barrosas
que ha olvidado el corazón…
La pálida canción
con cálida emoción
me lleva por la sombra de otro tiempo.
Es un puñado de recuerdos desteñidos
que del fondo del olvido
vuelven hoy a revivir.
Nostalgias de un querer,
el barrio del ayer
y rostros que ya nunca han de volver.

English lyrics of the Tango "Discos de Gardel"

I don’t feel quite so sad and alone
when I listen on the phonograph
to old records of Gardel.
The tangos of the past
unwittingly revive
loves faded by time
and I almost forget that my temples are grey
listening to ‘Scars’,
‘Never Again’ or ‘A Stumble’.
And the song brings
the bitter emotion
of pain, ‘Do not deceive yourself, heart’.

The voice says
sentimentally:
‘My beloved Buenos Aires…’
And the memories return
of my turns through life
and of that old wound
from a love.
In every tango its trace…
In every tango my star…
And that’s why my soul cries
when I listen on the phonograph
to records of Carlos Gardel.

The old records remind me of so many things!
Old and muddy streets
that the heart has forgotten…
The pale song
with warm emotion
takes me through the shadow of another time.
It’s a handful of faded memories
that from the depth of oblivion
come back to life today.
Longings of a love,
the neighborhood of yesterday
and faces that will never return.

Story behind the Tango Discos de Gardel

“Discos de Gardel” touches the soul with a nostalgic journey through the tango records of renowned singer Carlos Gardel. The lyrics powerfully express the impact of these songs in reviving past emotions and memories, conveying a deep sense of sentimentality and longing. The main character finds solace in the tunes of Gardel that echo the joys and sorrows of his past life, providing a comforting bridge between the present and his earlier experiences.



Symbolism of Discos de Gardel

The very mention of “viejos discos de Gardel” (old records of Gardel) symbolizes more than just musical nostalgia; they represent an era gone by, laden with personal and collective history. Songs like “Mi Buenos Aires querido” not only highlight geographical affection but also universal themes of heartache and love lost, which are emblematic of the Tango’s essence. The phrases “la sombra de otro tiempo” and “rostros que ya nunca han de volver” intensify this sentiment, portraying the shadows of time and faces that will never return, deepening the song’s emotive undercurrent.



Discos de Gardel in Historic Context

Created in 1945, “Discos de Gardel” emerges just after World War II, a period marked by global melancholy and nostalgia for pre-war normalcy. This socio-historical backdrop might have amplified the song’s resonance, as audiences grappling with their losses found solace in its melodies. Buenos Aires, mentioned prominently, was undergoing significant changes, transitioning from old to modern, yet clinging to its cultural roots through tango, offering a soundscape where the past and present cohesively meet.
