Letra del Tango Mi flor de noche

¡Vamos muchachos, otra vuelta!

Que mi alma está contenta

y yo quiero olvidar.

Todos conocen la mentira

de esta falsa alegría

que en copas quiero ahogar.

Ella, ella sólo es la culpable,

ella, nadie más y ya lo saben.

Ella, con sus ojos y mis penas

son la causa y la condena

de este amor que no es amor.



Este amor,

que se ha clavado en mi amargura.

Este amor,

que hay adentro mío, es mi tortura.

Muchas veces,

me parece que la olvido

y es extraño

ella vuelve y despierta mi ansiedad.

Flor de noche,

que mi vida ha destrozado

si me siento encadenado

cada vez te quiero más.

English lyrics of the Tango "Mi flor de noche"

Come on, guys, another round!

For my soul is content

And I want to forget.

Everyone knows the lie

Of this false joy

That I try to drown in drinks.

She, she alone is to blame,

She, nobody else and now they know.

She, with her eyes and my sorrows,

Are the cause and the curse

Of this love that is not love.

This love,

That has burrowed into my bitterness.

This love,

Inside me, is my torture.

Many times,

I feel like I forget her

And it’s strange,

She returns and awakens my anxiety.

Night flower,

That has shattered my life

If I feel chained,

Each time I want you more.

Story behind the Tango Mi flor de noche

The lyrics of “Mi flor de noche” encapsulate a narrative of deep emotional turmoil and unrequited love. The singer calls on his friends to continue the celebration, trying to drown his sorrows in an attempt to forget a love that brings him suffering. The central figure in his pain is a woman, referred to indirectly, who seems to be the cause of his happiness and anguish. His attempts to forget her fail, as she continuously haunts him, exacerbating his longing and despair.



Symbolism of Mi flor de noche

The title “Mi flor de noche” translates to “My night flower” in English, symbolizing something beautiful yet elusive, blooming in darkness, akin to forbidden or unattainable love. This metaphor extends to express the dual nature of the protagonist’s feelings – admiration for the beauty of the flower and pain from its unreachability. Phrases like “esta falsa alegría que en copas quiero ahogar” (this false joy that I want to drown in cups) vividly portray the protagonist’s internal conflict and his use of alcohol as a temporary escape from his torments.



Mi flor de noche in historic Context

The expressive depth of tango provided an outlet for the complex emotions of the time, mirroring the societal shifts and the personal impacts of such changes. The anguish and longing in the lyrics reflect a universal theme of love and loss, yet are deeply ingrained in the cultural fabric of Argentine tango, portraying a narrative familiar to many during that period.
