Letra del Vals Noches correntinas

En una tarde triste, de muerta primavera
Corrientes en mi ensueño te vi, por vez primera,
y fueron dos ojazos con su mirar de fuego
que a su mágico influjo me hicieron suspirar.
Y su mirada pura, de suave terciopelo,
embelleció la noche brillando cual lucero;
perfumando la brisa y al cielo como un ruego
del fondo de mi alma entono este cantar.

¡Noches correntinas,
gime el canto de un porteño
y el suspiro que entre sueños
va evocando en su canción!
¡Noches correntinas,
de recuerdos cariñosos
por dos ojos muy hermosos
suspiró mi corazón!

Fueron sus ojos brujos que al embargar mi vida
la ataron para siempre en ansias contenidas.
Y al despedirme de ellos, mi linda correntina,
como si fuera un niño, me puse a sollozar.
¡Oh, bella correntina! ¿Qué has hecho de mi alma?
¿Qué has hecho de mi vida que ya no tengo calma?
¡Quisiste darme abrigo, pero cual golondrina,
no pude detenerme para poderte amar!

English lyrics of the Vals "Noches correntinas"

On a sad afternoon, of dead spring,
I saw you in my dream on Corrientes, for the first time,
and it was two big eyes with their fiery gaze
that made me sigh under their magical spell.
And your pure gaze, of soft velvet,
beautified the night shining like a star;
perfuming the breeze and to the sky like a prayer,
from the depths of my soul I sing this song.

Corrientes nights,
moans the song of a man from the port
and the sigh that among dreams
evokes in his song!
Corrientes nights,
of affectionate memories
for two very beautiful eyes
my heart sighed!

It was her enchanting eyes that, overtaking my life,
bound it forever in held-back yearnings.
And saying goodbye to them, my pretty girl from Corrientes,
like a child, I began to cry.
Oh, beautiful girl from Corrientes! What have you done to my soul?
What have you done to my life that I no longer have peace?
You wanted to shelter me, but like a swallow,
I couldn’t stop to be able to love you!

Story behind the Tango Noches correntinas

The tango “Noches correntinas” depicts a melancholic tale of love entwined with remembrance set against the backdrop of an evening in Corrientes, a region in Argentina. The lyrics begin with a sorrowful reflection during a fading spring day, evoking the initial encounter in a dream, enhanced by an intense gaze that stirred deep emotions, and culminating in a heartfelt song. This encounter stirs an enduring yearning as the memories of those captivating eyes that once brought warmth now bring pain from unfulfilled love. Throughout, the narrative explores themes of longing, beauty, and the ephemeral nature of encounters.



Symbolism of Noches correntinas

The lyrics of “Noches correntinas” are rich in symbolism. The “ojazos con su mirar de fuego” (big eyes with their fiery gaze) symbolizes the deep and passionate impact the person has on the narrator. The “mirada pura, de suave terciopelo” (pure gaze, soft as velvet) draws further on this imagery of softness and depth, making the night more beautiful than a star (“brillando cual lucero”). These visual metaphors enhance the emotional depth of the narrative, pointing to the duality of warmth in the eyes that both comfort and haunt the singer. Phrases like “¡Quisiste darme abrigo, pero cual golondrina, no pude detenerme para poderte amar!” (You wanted to give me shelter, but like a swallow, I could not stop to love you!) reflect on the transient nature of the connection, as unpredictable and fleeting as birds in flight.



Noches correntinas in historic Context

“Noches correntinas” was created in 1939, a period when Argentine tango was profoundly intertwined with the national identity and mirrored the introspective emotions of society. This was a time nearing the end of the Infamous Decade — an era marked by political and economic turmoil in Argentina. In this context, the themes of longing and remembrance could also reflect a societal yearning for stability and nostalgia for simpler times. Corrientes, being a significant cultural locale, represents not only a physical setting but also a canvas of folklore and deep-rooted traditions, further enriching the song’s emotional landscape.



Juan Giliberti

Juan Giliberti was an influential figure in the tango genre, both as a composer and a lyricist. His works often reflect deep emotional undertones and cultural ties to Argentina.
