Letra del Tango Esta noche

Esta noche,
mejor dicho cuando llegue medianoche,
mis amigos,
yo festejo la tristeza de mi alma.
Brindaremos
por la dueña de los ojos más hermosos,
por mi vida… por mis sueños…
porque quiero ahogar los sueños de mi vida sin amor.

Yo no quiero recordarla.
¿Para qué voy a llorarla
si ya todo lo he perdido?
Esto digo muchas veces
pero entonces se aparece
frente a mí, como un castigo.
Y me mira desde el fondo de una sombra
y me vence… porque el alma me la nombra.
¿Cómo quieren, mis amigos,
que la arranque de mi vida
si no la puedo olvidar?

Muchos años
a su lado yo viví para quererla
y bastaron
unas horas nada más para perderla.
Ya no tengo ni una lágrima de amor… y son testigos
que esta noche, mis amigos,
vengo a ahogar en unas copas a mi vida sin amor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Esta noche"

Tonight,
or rather at midnight,
my friends,
I’ll celebrate the sadness of my soul.
We’ll toast
to the owner of the most beautiful eyes,
to my life… to my dreams…
because I want to drown out the dreams of my loveless life.

I don’t want to remember her.
Why should I cry for her
if I’ve already lost everything?
I say this many times
but then she appears
before me, as a punishment.
And she looks at me from the depths of a shadow
and she defeats me… because my soul speaks her name.
How can you expect, my friends,
that I rip her out of my life
if I can’t forget her?

Many years
I lived by her side to love her
and it only took
a few hours to lose her.
I no longer have a single tear of love… and you are witnesses
that tonight, my friends,
I come to drown in a few drinks my loveless life.

Story behind the Tango Esta noche

The title “Esta noche,” which translates to “Tonight,” sets the scene for a poignant exploration of heartache and nostalgia that unfolds as midnight approaches. The lyrics narrate a gathering among friends where the protagonist intends to drown the sorrows of his unrequited love through a shared toast. The central theme revolves around the pangs of lost love and the enduring torment it brings, despite efforts to move on.



Symbolism of Esta noche

“Brindaremos por la dueña de los ojos más hermosos” symbolically uses the beloved’s enchanting eyes as a conduit to her soul, illustrating deep admiration and lost beauty. Phrases like “festejo la tristeza de mi alma” and “yo viví para quererla” highlight the contrast between celebration and internal sorrow, and the commitment to love despite eventual despair. The recurring imagery of nights, shadows, and tears underscores the ongoing battle with memories that refuse to fade.



Esta noche in historic Context

Recorded in 1940 in Argentina, a time and place rich with the cultural embracement of Tango as a reflection of the common man’s soul, “Esta noche” mirrors the broader societal experiences of emotional depth and resilience. The historical backdrop of this period, filled with political and social transitions, could be translating into personal stories of loss and remembrance through the lyrics of the Tango, a dance often associated with expressions of raw, unfiltered emotions.
