Letra del Tango Mi noche triste

Percanta que me amuraste

en lo mejor de mi vida,

dejándome el alma herida

y espina en el corazón,

sabiendo que te quería,

que vos eras mi alegría

y mi sueño abrasador,

para mí ya no hay consuelo

y por eso me encurdelo

pa’olvidarme de tu amor.



Cuando voy a mi cotorro

y lo veo desarreglado,

todo triste, abandonado,

me dan ganas de llorar;

me detengo largo rato

campaneando tu retrato

pa poderme consolar.



Ya no hay en el bulín

aquellos lindos frasquitos

, arreglados con moñitos

todos del mismo color.

El espejo está empañado

y parece que ha llorado

por la ausencia de tu amor.



De noche, cuando rne acuesto

no puedo cerrar la puerta,

porque dejándola abierta

me hago ilusión que volvés.

Siempre llevo bizcochitos

pa tomar con matecitos

como si estuvieras vos,

y si vieras la catrera

cómo se pone cabrera

cuando no nos ve a los dos.



La guitarra, en el ropero

todavía está colgada:

nadie en ella canta nada

ni hace sus cuerdas vibrar.

Y la lámpara del cuarto

también tu ausencia ha sentido

porque su luz no ha querido

mi noche triste alumbrar.

English lyrics of the Tango "Mi noche triste"

Young lady who left me

at the peak of my life,

leaving my soul wounded

and a thorn in my heart,

knowing that I loved you,

that you were my joy

and my burning dream,

for me there’s no solace now

and that’s why I drown my sorrows

to forget your love.

When I go to my little room

and see it all untidy,

all sad, neglected,

I feel like crying;

I stop for a long while

gazing at your picture

to be able to console myself.

There are no more

of those pretty bottles,

arranged with ribbons,

all of the same color in the nook.

The mirror is fogged up

and it seems to have cried

for the absence of your love.

At night, when I lay down

I cannot close the door,

because leaving it open

I fantasize that you return.

I always have little biscuits

to have with my mate tea

as if you were here,

and if you saw the bed

how it rebels

when it doesn’t see us both.

The guitar, in the wardrobe

still hangs:

nobody plays it

nor makes its strings vibrate.

And the lamp in the room

also felt your absence

because its light has not wanted

to illuminate my sad night.

Story behind the Tango Mi noche triste

The lyrics of “Mi noche triste” translate to a poignant narrative of a heartbroken individual recounting the loneliness and sorrow following the departure of a loved one. The singer addresses their lost love, expressing the deep wound left on their soul and the profound impact on their life and surroundings. The melancholic tone is beautifully intertwined with the domestic imagery of an untidy, desolate home, reflecting the inner turmoil and despair of the narrator.



Symbolism of Mi noche triste

Symbolism in “Mi noche triste” is rich and layered, enhancing the emotional depth of the Tango. Key objects within the lyrics such as the “bizcochitos and matecitos,” traditional Argentine snacks and tea, symbolize the everyday moments shared and now missed. The “catrera,” or bed, becoming “cabrera,” or angry, personifies the shared spaces that also ‘mourn’ the absence of the partner. The unstrung guitar and the lamp that refuses to illuminate signify the silence and darkness that now permeate the singer’s life, underscoring the emptiness felt without their love.



Mi noche triste in historic Context

First recorded in 1970, “Mi noche triste” emerges during a period rich with cultural expression in Argentina, where Tango was not just a dance but a narrative medium. Reflecting the social and emotional currents of the time, the Tango often illustrated tales of common people, their loves, and losses, acting as a mirror to the collective Argentine spirit. Set against this backdrop, the song’s themes of lost love, nostalgia, and sorrow resonate deeply with the listener, reflecting universal emotions through the unique cultural lens of the Tango.
