Letra del Tango Noche de tango

Sigan, muchachos, la fiesta
Cantando y bailando
Al compás de la orquesta.
En esta noche de tango
Quiero dejar de penarla,
Quiero poder olvidarla
Y del corazón
Quiero arrancarla.
En esta alegre verbena
Siento que se va
Mi enorme pena.
Sigan, muchachos, la fiesta
Que siento que mi alma
Empieza a olvidar.

Sin embargo,
Estoy mintiendo mis amigos,
Y es mentira mi alegría
Y es mentira que la olvido.
El tango canta,
Y hasta el tango me la nombra,
El tango llora
Y aparece entre las sombras.

Lo que digo, es de los labios para afuera
Y es mentira porque quiero
Recordarla aunque me muera.
Perdón muchachos
Con mentiras ya no puedo
Ocultar su amor y mi dolor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Noche de tango"

Keep going, guys, the party
Singing and dancing
To the beat of the orchestra.
In this tango night
I want to stop suffering for her,
I want to be able to forget her
And from the heart
I want to tear her out.
In this joyful revelry
I feel my great sorrow
Is fading away.
Keep going, guys, the party
For I feel that my soul
Is beginning to forget.

However,
I am lying, my friends,
And my joy is a lie
And it’s a lie that I forget her.
The tango sings,
And even the tango mentions her,
The tango cries
And she appears among the shadows.

What I say, is just lip service
And it’s a lie because I want
To remember her even though I may die.
Sorry, guys
With lies I can no longer
Hide her love and my pain.

Story behind the Tango Noche de tango

The lyrics of “Noche de tango” reflect a narrative of heartbreak and attempted recovery, narrated through a night of celebration. The protagonist tries to use the festive atmosphere as a means to forget a past love, engaging in singing and dancing to relieve his pain. However, as the night progresses, he admits to his superficial happiness and acknowledges his ongoing struggle with his feelings. The juxtaposition of the festive environment with his inner turmoil plays a central role in illustrating the complexity of human emotions in the face of loss.



Symbolism of Noche de tango

The tango itself, within the lyrics, functions as both a source of superficial healing and a painful reminder of the past. Key phrases such as “En esta noche de tango quiero dejar de penarla,” show the tango night as an escape, yet later, “El tango llora y aparece entre las sombras,” reveals the tango as a trigger for his memories and sorrow. This duality mirrors the tango dance itself, known for its passionate yet melancholic nature, symbolizing the dance one does with their own emotions—drawing them in and pushing them away in turns.



Noche de tango in historic Context

Written and recorded in Argentina in 1946, “Noche de tango” was created during a period when the country was undergoing significant political and social changes post-World War II. The tango, deeply embedded in Argentine culture, served not only as entertainment but also as a means for people to express and cope with their complex feelings during such turbulent times. The personal loss described in Sanguinetti’s lyrics can be seen as a metaphor for the broader sense of uncertainty and longing experienced by many Argentines in this era.
