Lyrics Translation of the Tango Estrella

This is the translation of the Tango “Estrella” from Spanish to English. The English lyrics of the Tango “Estrella” have been done with AI.

Letra del Tango Estrella

Era una calle de barrio pobre,
y en una casa con un zaguán;
una muchacha vivía entonces,
de la que todos tenían que hablar.
Una muchacha que, noche a noche,
dejaba el barrio para volver;
cuando la aurora de cobre y bronce
mezclaba el sueño con el taller.

Aquella…
de la que todos hablaban
porque siempre la encontraban
al volver de madrugada…
Aquella…
con un poema de amargura
contenido en la dulzura
del azul de su mirada…
Estrella …
De esperanzas y de olvido
bajo el cielo amanecido
con mentiras y champán…
Estrella…
Todos, todos los que hablaron
una noche la lloraron
en la casa del zaguán.

Recién entonces la hicieron buena
y se llenaron de compasión…
Para la vida que hacía ‘aquella’
hasta encontraron una razón.
Y confesaron, quien más, quien menos,
que se pudieron equivocar;
y como siempre, el barrio entero,
recién entonces dejó de hablar.

English lyrics of the Tango "Estrella"

It was a street in a poor neighborhood,
and in a house with an entrance hall;
a young girl lived there at the time,
about whom everyone had something to say.
A girl who, night after night,
left the neighborhood only to return;
when the dawn of copper and bronze
mixed dreams with the workshop.

That girl…
about whom everyone spoke
because they always found her
returning at daybreak…
That girl…
with a poem of bitterness
contained in the sweetness
of the blue in her gaze…
Star…
Of hopes and forgetting
under a sky awakened
with lies and champagne…
Star…
Everyone, all who spoke of her
one night mourned her
in the house with the entrance hall.

Only then did they consider her good
and they were filled with compassion…
For the life that ‘that girl’ led
they even found a reason.
And they confessed, more or less,
that they may have been wrong;
and as always, the whole neighborhood,
only then ceased to talk.

Story behind the Tango Estrella

“Estrella” narrates the tale of a young woman from a modest neighborhood who is the subject of local gossip. The lyrics detail her nightly departures and returns at dawn, suggesting her life is filled with untold stories and hardships. The woman, referred to only as “Estrella,” which translates to “Star,” serves as a poignant symbol of hope and melancholy. The transformation in public perception following her death, moving from judgment to compassion, reveals societal tendencies to judge harshly and redeem only in retrospect.



Symbolism of Estrella

The name “Estrella” is symbolic in itself, representing both the luminescence and the isolation associated with a star. The blue in her eyes could symbolize depth and sadness, while the references to “mentiras y champán” (lies and champagne) hint at the superficial glitz masking underlying sorrow. The repeated cycle of night and day in the lyrics emphasizes the relentless passage of time and her continuous struggle.



Estrella in historic Context

Recorded in 1966, during a period of significant social and political change in Argentina, “Estrella” reflects themes of social scrutiny and the marginalization of individuals based on their circumstances or choices. The public’s initial judgment and eventual repentance could parallel societal shifts in attitudes towards marginalized groups during that era. This Tango captures the essence of a time when Argentina was grappling with modernization and the restructuring of societal norms.
