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 when midnight arrives,
my friends,
I celebrate the sadness of my soul.
We will toast
to the owner of the most beautiful eyes,
to my life… to my dreams…
because I want to drown the dreams of my loveless life.

I do not want to remember her.
Why should I cry for her
if I have already lost everything?
I say this many times
but then she appears
before me, like a punishment.
And she looks at me from the depths of a shadow
and defeats me… because my soul names her.
How can you, my friends,
expect me to tear her from my life
if I cannot 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 tear of love left… 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

Esta noche delves deep into the realms of love, loss, and pain, chronicling a man’s heartfelt attempt to drown his sorrows amid friends as midnight strikes. The lyrics unfold a poignant narrative where the protagonist remembers a cherished lover, whose eyes are described as the most beautiful. Throughout the song, he attempts to celebrate yet drowns in the sadness that her departure has inflicted on his soul.



Symbolism of Esta noche

The recurring motif of “midnight” symbolizes both an end and a beginning, representing the threshold where the protagonist reflects and transitions from pain towards a resolution, albeit painful, of forgetting. The repeated mentions of drinking and the elements of a festivity intertwine with a deep, underlying tragedy, marking an effort to wash away unforgettable memories. “Una sombra”, signifying her shadow or ghost, underscores the inescapable nature of his lingering attachment and paints a vivid image of his haunting loss.



Esta noche in historic Context

Recorded in Argentina in 1953, Esta noche emerges during a period of rich cultural expression in Tango’s evolution, where themes often wove intricate tales of personal troubles against a backdrop of broader societal changes. The year 1953 in Argentina, a decade before political instability escalates, was still a time of relative cultural flourish under Peronism which deeply supported arts. Yet, the tango itself remained the quintessential medium to mirror the individual’s emotional battles with life’s profound themes of love, loss, and nostalgia.

Lito Bayardo, an impactful figure in Argentine tango, was renowned for his deep lyrical compositions that often explored themes of emotion and human relationships.
