Letra del Tango Noches de cabaret

Envuelto entre las nubes, brumosas del tabaco

Escucho el quejumbroso, latir del bandoneón,

Bebiendo muchas copas, mi sed enorme aplaco

Un nuevo amor me llama y olvido una traición.

Mujeres muy hermosas, por el salón caminan

Buscando algún amigo, que pague su licor,

Y aquella francesita, tan delicada y fina

Solloza por el hombre, que nunca más volvió.



Noches de cabaret

Ribera del corazón,

Donde mi vida anclé

Cuando perdí mi ilusión.

Noches de Cabaret

En donde bebo mi alcohol,

Para olvidar aquel amor que mentía

Diciendo que me quería

Y después me abandonó.



La linda Teresita, evoca un sueño turbio

La noche que cambiara, su traje de percal,

Dejando para siempre, su casa y el suburbio

Corriendo tras el lujo y el humo del Pigalle.

María tiene un hijo, que vive con la abuela

Y muchas madrugadas se queda sin dormir,

Por verlo solamente, camino de la escuela

No quiere con su llanto, mancharlo de carmín.

English lyrics of the Tango "Noches de cabaret"

Wrapped in tobacco’s hazy clouds
I hear the mournful heartbeat of the bandoneón,
Drinking many glasses, quenching my immense thirst
A new love calls and I forget a betrayal.

Beautiful women walk through the hall
Seeking a friend to pay for their drink,
And that delicate, fine French girl
Sobs for the man who never returned.

Cabaret nights,
Riverside of the heart,
Where I anchored my life
When I lost my dream.
Cabaret nights
Where I drink my alcohol,
To forget that love who lied
Saying she loved me
And then left me.

The lovely Teresita conjures a murky dream
The night she changed her cotton dress,
Leaving behind her home and the suburbs forever
Chasing the luxury and smoke of Pigalle.

Maria has a son, living with the grandmother
And many early mornings she goes without sleep,
Just to see him on the way to school
She doesn’t want her tears to stain him with rouge.

Story behind the Tango Noches de cabaret

The Tango “Noches de cabaret” portrays the nightlife in cabarets where individuals seek refuge from their sorrows and frustrations. Immersed in a world wrapped in tobacco fumes and serenaded by the sorrowful tunes of the bandoneon, characters emerge: people drowning their sorrows in drink, seeking temporary loves, or mourning lost ones. It tells the story of lost illusions and lives pivoting on the edge of despair and fleeting pleasures.



Symbolism of Noches de cabaret

The cabaret in these lyrics symbolizes more than a mere nighttime venue; it is a microcosm reflecting broken dreams and the pursuit of solace in transient connections. Tobacco smoke clouds might symbolize obscurity or confusion in life, while the bandoneon’s heartbeat conveys deep emotional pain. The “new love” offering forgetfulness symbolizes momentary escapes, contrasting sharply with the reality of unattainable desires and betrayals.

Key phrases like “Bebiendo muchas copas, mi sed enorme aplaco” (Drinking many glasses, I quench my great thirst) denote the emotional void characters are trying to fill with alcohol, whereas “Un nuevo amor me llama y olvido una traición” (A new love calls me and I forget a betrayal) reflects the continuous cycle of hope and heartbreak inherent in these ephemeral encounters.



Noches de cabaret in historic Context

Recorded in 1951 post-World War II Argentina, “Noches de cabaret” reflects a society grappling with modernity and traditional values, mirroring the global existential insecurity of the era. The cabaret serves as a stage for the unfolding drama of individuals wrestling with societal changes and personal disillusionments. The characters’ struggles and desires are encapsulated in a post-war world that no longer holds the promise of simplicity or innocence.
