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 comes,
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 life without love.

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
like a punishment.
And she looks at me from the depth of a shadow
and she defeats me… because my soul speaks her name.
How do 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 a life without love.

Story behind the Tango Esta noche

“Esta noche” translates to “Tonight” in English, capturing the essence of an intimate and introspective moment. The song expresses the protagonist’s preparation to mark the despair of his soul at midnight with his friends. The deep emotional turmoil is shared in the form of a celebration – or more accurately, a commemoration of lost love. The lyrics unravel a story of pain, reminiscence, and a heartache tied to unforgettable love, likely representing universal themes of love and loss that resonate across times and places.



Symbolism of Esta noche

The recurring theme of night or “medianoche” (midnight) symbolizes both an end and a new beginning, hinting at the dual nature of pain and healing. The night provides a backdrop for introspection and remembrance, which is a common thematic element in tango lyrics. One key phrase, “yo festejo la tristeza de mi alma” (I celebrate the sadness of my soul), uses the paradoxical action of celebrating sadness, which adds a profound complexity to the relationship the speaker maintains with his feelings. This juxtaposition accentuates the depth of his emotional state and the inability to detach from the memories of love.



Esta noche in historic Context

Set in 1980 Argentina, “Esta noche” emerged during a period marked by political upheaval and societal change. The tango, historically a genre resonating with expressions of personal struggles and social issues, serves as a method for narrating personal and collective stories in this socio-political landscape. During such times, themes of loss, nostalgia, and melancholy were especially poignant, providing a canvas for individuals to relay their emotional and existential experiences. Thus, the tango likely resonated profoundly with an audience grappling with similar losses and transitions, both personal and societal.
