Letra del Tango Otra noche

Otra noche que estoy solo,
llorando mi mala estrella.
Otra noche de amargura,
otra noche de tortura.
¡Otra noche más sin ella!
¿Cuándo acaba esta congoja?,
me pregunta el corazón.
Y yo lo estoy engañando
porque sé que está esperando
inútilmente su amor.

No niego
que más que antes la quiero.
Que por verla y por hablarla
de ansiedad me desespero.
La noche
que siempre fue tan amiga
porque ya no estoy con ella
hoy se ha vuelto mi enemiga.
Luz de luna, luz de estrellas,
que alumbraban mi soñar.
Hoy hay sombras y más sombras
en mi triste soledad.

Otra noche que estoy solo
llorando mi mala estrella.
Otra noche que me pierdo
en la fiebre del recuerdo.
¡Otra noche más sin ella!
¿Cuándo acaba esta congoja?,
me pregunta el corazón…
Y yo lo estoy engañando
porque sé que está esperando
inútilmente su amor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Otra noche"

Another night I am alone,
crying over my ill fate.
Another night of bitterness,
another night of torment.
Another night without her!
When will this anguish end?
my heart questions me.
And I keep deceiving it
because I know it’s waiting
vainly for her love.

I don’t deny
that I love her more than before.
That to see and speak to her
I despair with longing.
The night
that was always so friendly
now that I’m not with her
today has turned my enemy.
Moonlight, starlight,
that lit my dreams.
Today there are shadows and more shadows
in my sad solitude.

Another night I am alone
crying over my ill fate.
Another night lost
in the fever of memory.
Another night without her!
When will this anguish end?
my heart questions me…
And I keep deceiving it
because I know it’s waiting
vainly for her love.

Story behind the Tango Otra noche

In “Otra noche,” the narrator expresses deep feelings of loneliness and sorrow, lamenting another night spent without a loved one. The emotional core of the lyrics lies in the profound sense of despair and longing, as the heart grapples with unrequited love and the futility of waiting for someone who will not return. The song is a poignant portrayal of heartache, exploring themes of solitude, yearning, and the inescapable passage of time that fails to heal the wounds of lost love.

Symbolism of Otra noche

The lyrics of “Otra noche” are laden with symbolic language that enhances the emotional intensity of the narrative. The nighttime, depicted as an enemy, symbolizes the despair and solitude that haunt the narrator in the absence of their beloved. Phrases such as “luz de luna” and “luz de estrellas” once symbols of hope and dreams, now contrast with “sombras y más sombras,” highlighting the encroaching darkness of loneliness. “Mala estrella,” or bad luck, suggests a fated misfortune, adding to the sense of inescapable tragedy. Key phrases such as “me pregunta el corazón” and “inútilmente su amor” speak to the internal conflict between hope and resignation, underscoring the futility and heartbreak of unreciprocated feelings.
